Ketera Network Applications Launch on the Google Apps Marketplace
New Integration Makes It Simple for Buyers to Save and for Suppliers to Sell
San Jose, Calif., Aug 10, 2010 – Ketera Technologies, provider of the online Ketera Network™ business community, announced today the release of two new cloud applications in the Google Apps Marketplace™. Ketera’s applications offer Google Apps™ customers free membership to participate on the Ketera Network, an active B2B community of over 100,000 buyers and 800,000 suppliers engaged in billions of dollars in transactions.
“Ketera has always been focused on changing the way people think about doing business, making it simpler, easier and more efficient,” said Steve Savignano, CEO of Ketera. “With these new applications for the Google Apps Marketplace, we’ve provided a new way for businesses to access the efficiency of doing business on the Ketera Network.”
The new applications are tailored for B2B buyers and suppliers:
- Ketera Network – Savings for Business Buyers makes purchasing and sourcing simple for businesses. Whether simply looking for lower prices on frequently purchased office supplies or seeking a new strategic sourcing supplier, the Network can help.
Invite your best suppliers to compete for your business alongside new vendors from the Network in a streamlined Request for Proposal (RFP) or Request for Quote (RFQ) process. You can also search for the items you need today, easily contact the supplier with any questions about availability or delivery, and place an immediate order. - Ketera Network – Online Business Selling enables B2B suppliers to reach more buyers. It’s simple to create your company profile so business buyers can discover your offerings and invite you to respond to their RFPs and RFQs.
If you have published your items on the Network, buyers can easily send you a purchase order. You can also search for relevant RFPs that have been posted by buyers. Plus, Ketera will even email lead alerts when new business opportunities appear in your category.
“We are excited to have two Ketera Network applications launch within the Google Apps Marketplace” said Scott McMullan, Google Apps Partner Lead. “"Through the Google Apps Marketplace, software vendors like Ketera are helping us build a rich ecosystem of integrated apps that work seamlessly with Google Apps, allowing IT administrators to leverage the benefits of cloud computing and extend Google Apps to meet more of their business needs. We are excited to make B2B procurement easier for the millions of Google Apps users who have embraced the cloud."
The Google Apps Marketplace makes it easy for more than 2 million Google Apps businesses to discover, purchase and deploy integrated business applications and related professional services. By integrating with user account and application data stored in Google Apps, these cloud applications provide a simpler user experience, increase business efficiency, and reduce administrative overhead.
