Salesforce.com customers donate cash to Cancer Research UK

Artesian Solutions combines charity raffle with the launch of ArtesianSurveillanceCRM™

Artesian Solutions, the provider of web-based market intelligence and surveillance software, has today announced that over 500 visitors to the company’s stand at Cloudforce 09 partook in its charity raffle. All the proceeds raised were donated to Cancer Research UK.

To mark the launch of Artesian’s new software – ArtesianSurveillanceCRM™ – at Cloudforce ‘09, Artesian handed out golden envelopes containing free US Dollars. The envelopes were given to visitors at the event with some envelopes containing as much as $100. Approximately 1 in 3 visitors gave their ‘free money’ to Cancer Research UK – Artesian Solutions’ chosen national charity.

Andrew Yates, CEO at Artesian Solutions, commented:

“The launch of ArtesianSurveillanceCRM™, to help organisations gain a competitive advantage by using the web, was a great success. Not only was our new software very well received, it was pleasing to see how, despite the current recession, visitors to Cloudforce 09 were willing to donate to charity, putting others before personal gain.”

Yates continued: “Artesian Solutions is committed to supporting both local and national charities and we look forward to continuing our support with more charitable initiatives in the near future. Thank you to everyone who attended the event, and donated to such a worthwhile cause.”
