The parent company of Indianapolis-based ExactTarget Inc. says it plans to reduce its global work force by 200. An ExactTarget spokesman says the move by Salesforce.com Inc. (NYSE: CRM) will have “minimal” impact on local operations. Mitch Frazier also adds ExactTarget is currently featuring more than 100 open positions on the company's website.

Statement From Salesforce.com

Combining ExactTarget with our existing Marketing Cloud provides synergy, and we will be reducing our total headcount by approximately 200 people globally to reflect this opportunity. We care deeply about our employees and we're providing resources to position them for success in the next step of their careers – whether that's a new position within salesforce.com or a new opportunity elsewhere.
