  • Kloud Connectors announces new connectors, supports Salesforce, Highrise, Insightly, Vend, Quickbooks, FreeAgent

    Kloud Connectors, the cloud integration platform that connects business processes residing in different Clouds, announced major upgrade by announcing new connectors and support for Salesforce, Highrise, Insightly, Vend and many more cloud Apps.

    4th Dec 2014, Pune, India: Today, integration is one of the criteria people consider while choosing any cloud services for their business. If you are already using a couple of clouds like CRM, Accounting then while going for one more cloud to manage your Marketing, you look for compatibility. You look for easy integration with your existing clouds. And often after picking up a few best clouds you realize that there is no ready made integration available for these two. That means, you will either have to get such integration developed (spend time and money) or abandon one of those two clouds.
    The Cloud companies are busy making their clouds better and powerful. Each one is busy adding more and more features to their cloud services. And it is practically impossible to expect these companies to come up with integration with each and every other cloud around. Even though they do provide some rudimentary integration with a few major clouds, it’s not always going to be enough. There are several companies who are trying to help customers in these areas. Customers no longer have to use a particular cloud just because it is already closely integrated with the one he has.
    While announcing changes and addition of new connectors, Mr. Vinay Joshi, CEO of Suvichartech said “We have been around for two years now. We have a very stable customer base with customers in 30 countries. Till today, we were concentrating only on one platform. We have been getting enquiries for several other SaaS systems for creating Kloud Connectors. The amount of interest shown by these customers was, in fact, main driver why we felt compelled to develop them. We are announcing addition of Salesforce, Highrise, Insightly,Vend, Kashflow, FreeAgent, Quickbooks Online, Magento, Zendesk, Workflowmax , Eventbrite, Evernote to our platform.”
    “We have launched 31 new connectors taking our ready connectors tally to impressive 39. Our portal was earlier centered around Zoho CRM. We have added few more connectors for Zoho CRM. Now we have 15 tightly integrated connectors for Zoho CRM alone. We hope that Zoho’s customers would benefit tremendously from these new connectors. We also hope that Salesforce, Highrise, Insightly, Vend, Kashflow, FreeAgent, Quickbooks, Magento, Zendesk, Workflowmax, Eventbrite, Evernote customers would find these new connectors useful. All Kloud Connectors are designed to give end users a broader choice, freedom to choose the best clouds for their business without worrying about Integration issues.” Mr. Joshi said in his closing remarks. He is admittedly sold out on Cloud, Social and Mobile Technologies which are picking up fast. He feels since each of these are quite important for their target segment (SMBs), we can expect Suvichartech to come up with many exciting products and services involving Cloud, Social and Mobile Technologies.
    The one thing that sets apart Kloud Connectors from other integration platforms is the design of connectors. Every connector is designed for seamless business process execution in cloud. This is not a data dumping service from one place to other. The design of each connector is aimed towards facilitating the underlying purpose behind using those individual clouds.
    For example, You use MailChimp to send out campaigns/newsletters. And you use Saleforce to store your relevant information about your customers. So the connector between them should work to help you send out those campaigns as well as capture relevant customer information for effective decision making. And that’s exactly what Salesforce to MailChimp connector (SFMC) does.
    Cloud users are happy that clouds are continuously improving. That’s well and good. Since, Connectors sit on top of two constantly evolving software, guys at Kloud Connectors will have to be on their toes all the time. The functionality, the APIs of clouds keep changing and also the nature of integration demanded by customers keeps changing which is going to be a big challenge for those who create connectors. We at Kloud Connectors are confident of tackling this challenge just the way we have been doing all these years.
    Kloud Connectors would be focusing on increasing their product portfolio in the next quarter so that we are able to reach more and more organizations by connecting more clouds; said the sources close to management of Suvichartech, the company behind Kloud Connectors portal.
