This summer, salesforce.com has begun offering the Force.com Free Edition, a “light” version of their Force.com platform enabling customers to build applications and run websites using salesforce.com’s cloud-based resources.  With this offering, clients are given a set of tools to build and deploy their first cloud computing application to up to 100 users.  Clients will also have some free access to Force.com Sites, salesforce.com’s recent addition to their cloud platform, which allows companies to build and run public-facing websites using their platform.  Clients using the free edition will get up to 250,000 pages views per month, as well as 10 custom objects/custom database tables per user, a sandbox development environment, online training, and a library of free application templates.

MK Partners loves this idea! This is the perfect solution for a small startup, medium-sized nonprofit, or just a low-budget initiative in any sized company.
