AppDirect Helps SMBs Get Off to a Great Start in 2013

By Gretchen Dukowitz / January 23, 2013

At AppDirect, we’re big believers in the power of the cloud to deliver powerful software solutions to small businesses. That’s why we’re starting 2013 with a push to raise awareness about the range of the benefits that these tools can offer to SMBs. So far, we’re happy to report that there’s been quite a bit of buzz.

Last week, we officially announced our partnership with the Small Business Web—a non-profit trade association that connects small businesses to innovative cloud-based software—to power its directory of business apps. The Small Business Web Directory is now the most comprehensive online resource for business owners looking for apps targeted to SMBs.

To follow up on the news, our President and co-CEO, Daniel Saks, appeared on Fox Business this week to talk about how apps can help small businesses level the playing field and be more competitive. Click on the image below to watch the interview (video will open in a new window).

Daniel was also featured on Jim Blasingame’s Small Business Advocate radio show where he spoke about cloud-based apps and how they meet the needs of small business owners by being both cost effective and easy to use. Click here to listen to Jim’s interview with Daniel.

To keep the momentum going, later this month Paul Arnautoff, Director of Business Development at AppDirect, will speak on a panel at Cloud4SMB, the first-ever event focused exclusively on cloud solutions for small businesses. We’re sure the panel, "Why SMBs need the Cloud more than ever," will be very useful and informative for everyone involved. Check back here next month for a report from Paul.
