Original Press Release:
New Astadia Products for Salesforce for Google Apps Now Available on Salesforce.com's AppExchange
Astadia Quoting and Astadia Report Collaboration Give Customers the Power to Collaborate on Sales Quotes and Reports with Salesforce and Non-Salesforce Users
SAN FRANCISCO, April 14 -- Astadia, a global business consulting and SaaS solutions company, today announced the availability of two new applications, Astadia Quoting and Astadia Report Collaboration, as part of the newly added Google Apps(TM) category on salesforce.com's AppExchange. Customers can use the two new Astadia applications to extend the value of Salesforce for Google Apps, adding quoting and report collaboration to the suite of CRM, collaboration, and business productivity applications, further enabling companies to run their business in the cloud. Built on salesforce.com's Force.com platform, and Google's open APIs, Astadia Quoting and Report Collaboration are immediately available for test drive and deployment at http://salesforce.com/appexchange.
Astadia Quoting creates and saves customer-ready quotes within Salesforce, taking advantage of the workflow and approvals functionality native to Salesforce. The quoting solution offers an option to select Google Docs(TM) for output for public or private publishing of quotes to the web. This allows for special customization with images and wrapped text; it opens the door for in-house collaboration on quote pricing and positioning, as well as for collaborative negotiations with prospects -- all with the sharing permissions and revision history available from Google Docs.
Astadia Report Collaboration gives Salesforce users the ability to export any report to Google Spreadsheets for further analysis, and to safely and selectively share the reports with both Salesforce and non-Salesforce users. The export process takes only a few clicks, making it easy for any Salesforce user with a Google Apps business account to take advantage of this functionality.
"We are thrilled to be key participants in this landmark launch event," said Scott Blodgett, Astadia CTO. "We are building our family of integrated products for these two platforms on top of the social networking application that we released at the OpenSocial launch last November."
Astadia's social networking solution, AppFactor BLOX for OpenSocial, allows Salesforce users to view and manage the social network of contacts that exists right from within their database.
"Astadia continues to demonstrate its commitment to customer success by delivering new applications that extend the value of Salesforce for Google Apps," said Marc Benioff, chairman and CEO, salesforce.com. "These compelling new applications showcase Astadia's technology expertise and give companies new ways to take advantage of cloud computing to run their businesses."
