Salesforce Inc. Co-Chief Executive Officer Marc Benioff said the company will continue to make acquisitions, while focusing more immediately on integrating companies it already bought.

“We’ve bought 60 companies -- we’ll always buy companies,” Benioff said Thursday in an interview with Bloomberg Television from the software giant’s annual Dreamforce conference. Meanwhile, Salesforce is still integrating employees of recently acquired firms like Tableau, he said.
