Appfire announced its acquisition of more than twenty products from ServiceRocket, a leader in tech-enabled services. This acquisition highlights
Appfire's continued strategic expansion within the Salesforce ecosystem and its
intention to continue to be an Atlassian top Marketplace vendor. Appfire will
now offer ServiceRocket's best-selling applications, Connector
for Salesforce & Jira and Connector for Salesforce & Confluence. These products offer
best-in-class integration between Salesforce and Atlassian products and allow
users of both platforms to sync their data, providing a streamlined, single
source of truth.
Today,
teams choose their own tools, but that can often lead to a lot of
context-switching when different teams across the enterprise try to work
together. Customers need powerful yet simple products that enable new ways to
improve collaboration, productivity and business processes. The hybrid
workforce has exemplified the need for products that empower seamless
collaboration, regardless of how, where, or when they work. The acquisition of
these applications effectively addresses these demands and elevates the
longstanding partnership between ServiceRocket and Appfire, making work flow by
driving efficiency and productivity for all customers. Appfire will further
invest in the care and ongoing support of the users of these
products.
"I
first met ServiceRocket's founder and CEO Rob Castaneda more than 15 years ago
in the early days of the Atlassian ecosystem," said Randall Ward, co-founder
and CEO of Appfire. "We were both focused on fostering growth in the ecosystem
and for our companies, and a camaraderie was born. We've continued to cultivate
our unique partnership focused on collaboration and shared beliefs and on
investing in our products and our people. Nurturing this long-established partnership has propelled us toward our
vision of scaling global businesses that extend into other successful
ecosystems. The opportunities are boundless."
Through
this acquisition, Appfire is adding more than 20 apps to its portfolio, all of
which help organizations accelerate and maintain their growth. The top-selling
Connector for Salesforce & Jira app enables companies to integrate
departmental processes while freeing data to follow users and customers along
the entire business workflow. Prioritizing ease of use and time to value across
all applications, Connector for Salesforce & Jira provides granular
association configuration, making the application highly customizable to adapt
to any user's business processes. It also provides bidirectional data flow,
auto synchronization, and aggregated comments - complete coverage to meet the
needs of all user teams and use cases. Additionally, Appfire will extend the
workflows and functionality of Confluence, including those applications that
address document management, publishing, business intelligence and reporting.
Such capabilities will be crucial as Appfire empowers organizations to provide
seamless team collaborations. Appfire will continue its longstanding
relationship with ServiceRocket as a leading channel partner for both the
newly-acquired products and the rest of the Appfire portfolio.
"At ServiceRocket, we commit to our customers, partners, and
Rocketeers to be the most reliable partner in the acceleration of their
growth," says Rob Castaneda, founder and CEO of ServiceRocket. "The heart of
that commitment is our focus on Atlassian and its ecosystem. As Atlassian's
first partner, we built some of the platform's initial apps, leading the way to
commercialization, before they established their marketplace. The relationship
with Appfire and the positive impact our products and service have on our
shared customers' growth demonstrates the vitality of this thriving ecosystem
and our role in it."
