Appirio

Overview

Cloud computing and, specifically, Software as a Service (SaaS) represent an important evolution of technology, computing and business transformation. Benefits such as greater flexibility, capacity on-demand, and lower total cost of ownership are well known to those following on-demand or cloud-based computing.

However, without the ability to cost-effectively implement these solutions within an enterprise and into existing systems, the inherent value and time-to-market can be lost. That's where Appirio fits in.

Appirio provides professional services and products to enable the adoption of Salesforce.com and Google Enterprise on-demand applications within the enterprise. Their services cover business process strategy, implementation, and the development of custom applications. Their software products connect and extend the cloud platforms from Amazon Web Services, Google App Engine, Facebook, and Force.com. To date, Appirio has over 1,500 customers across the world and in a variety of industries.
