Platform-as-a-Service for Ecosystem Commerce Automation

January  15, 2012, Palo Alto, CA: Cloudplace Inc., a 2011 Red Herring Global 100 Award Winner, today announced the availability of the Cloudplace ECA Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) for cloud ISVs and digital services providers seeking to build, grow and manage their partner networks and commercial ecosystems.

“As SaaS and cloud ISVs seek to engage and monetize their partner ecosystems, the Cloudplace ECA PaaS has emerged as an indispensable weapon of marketing success”, said Tommaso Di Bartolo, Founder and CEO of Cloudplace Inc.

“Unlike prior generations of e-commerce technology designed largely for direct sales models, Cloudplace ECA PaaS has been architected from the ground up to manage flexible, multi-tier, indirect commerce models—Exactly the kind of model gaining popularity among cloud ISVs. And we have field-proven the Cloudplace ecosystem commerce model with some of the world’s best-recognized software companies, which is the reason we were selected for inclusion in the prestigious 2011 Red Herring Global 100”, Di Bartolo added.

“Choosing the best out of the previous two years was by no means a small feat,” said Alex Vieux, Chairman of Red Herring. “After rigorous contemplation and discussion, we narrowed down our list from 1,100 potential companies to 100 winners.  It was an extremely difficult process. CloudPlace Inc. should be extremely proud of its achievement—The competition for the Top 100 was fierce. The Top 100 Global are truly the best of the best,” Vieux added.
