That relationship is starting to bear fruit, Salesforce says, as it's helping solve one glaring weakness in the cloud software maker's business: overseas sales. Salesforce said during its earnings call on Tuesday that its partnership with AWS has helped open up new opportunities in countries like Canada and Australia. Salesforce started running its software in AWS data centers in Canada last month, and is planning to do so in Australia later this year. The offering is aimed at targeting companies that may feel uncomfortable storing their data in data centers outside their region.
