The Cloud Alliance for Google Apps Welcomes Zendesk, Esna and UberConference
New York, NY (PRWEB) August 07, 2013 -- The Cloud Alliance for Google Apps today announced the addition of three new member companies to its prestigious roster. The Alliance’s newest members, Zendesk, Esna and UberConference, are among some of the most popular and heavily used products in the Google Apps and SaaS ecosystems. These providers were chosen based on customer feedback, depth of integration with the Google Apps suite and market-leading potential in their respective fields, customer service software, unified communications and teleconferencing.
The Alliance, an independent network of cloud software developers building products heavily integrated with Google Apps, strives to foster a community among Google Apps Marketplace vendors and promote the ecosystem as a whole. In the coming months, the Cloud Alliance will be sponsoring a number of initiatives to further promote Google Apps including an industry-wide survey with research firm Frost & Sullivan, as well as a member summit this fall.
“We’re thrilled to add Zendesk, Esna and UberConference to the Cloud Alliance,” said David Politis, Chairman of the Alliance and CEO of founding member, BetterCloud. “These companies are three of the most dynamic players in this space and we’re confident their contributions to the Alliance will help to further our agenda of advocating for Google Apps specifically and cloud technology in general.”
The Alliance’s newest members join founding members BetterCloud, Insightly, Fujitsu RunMyProcess, Smartsheet and Spanning as well as Harvest, Lucidchart, ShuttleCloud and Yesware, who joined the Alliance in June 2012. As the Google Apps ecosystem continues to expand and mature, the Alliance will look to add new strategic partners in the months ahead.
