Salesforce? 37signals?

Expanding sideways is pretty common among successful software and business services companies.

Salesforce - I like the idea of Force.com being offered that uses the same infrastructure as the core product, as well as the companies they have acquired.

37signals - great example and I liked reading their timeline to see how/when they expanded. Jason is also very open on Inc.com about running the company. For some reason I recall reading an article where their adoption rates were a lot lower outside of their core product.
