Vendor Connect Initiative Attracts Over 100 Members
Clarizen has launched the Vendors Connect Network that allows you to network, interface and work with qualified service provides when you are looking to expand the resources on your Clarizen projects. The program allows service providers to list their services in the Vendors Connect directory where you will be able to search for specific vendors or services, browse the directory listing, and rate vendors based on their experience, all within the Clarizen work management platform.
Take for example, a global software company seeking translation or localization services and prefers a vendor who is already using Clarizen so that both companies can use Clarizen's work management solutions to execute the project in a collaborative and user-friendly environment.
Registration is free, and while it is recommended, vendors are not required to be Clarizen users.
Get free business referrals by publishing your details on the Clarizen Vendors Connect.

Clarizen Success Story: Anritsu
Excerpt from the most recent Clarizen Customer Success Story:
'The company researched more than 12 SaaS solutions, narrowing it down to Clarizen and another competitor. Employees received a demo of both, and management found that Clarizen was the preferred solution across the entire company, hands down. Aside from being less expensive, Anritsu found that Clarizen was easy to use without lacking any desired features. Management also valued the security of Clarizen’s servers, which are hosted at a Tier 1 facility in California that is SAS 70 Type II certified.'
“We needed a solution that would grant our users project visibility, as well as the ability to manage knowledge and resources across various departments,” said Paul Mayer, CIO of Anritsu. “The accessibility of the SaaS delivery model drew us to Clarizen, and the solution’s user-friendly interface and attractive pricing, among other benefits, is what proves the tremendous value it brings to our company.” Read more...

Clarizen Community: Australian PMP Grabs Final iPod Touch
With the accelerated growth of Clarizen users in Australia, it shouldn't come by surprise to award the final iPod Touch to the Most Active Community Member, Steve Goodwin, of Engaged Projects in Australia.
Steve has been using Clarizen to help clients across industries from Web-design through IT services to Churches improve processes by providing remote PMO functionality and Program Management consultancy (Prime candidate for our Vendor Connect program…).
"Clarizen has clear winning properties - we took a look at it and having compared it with other SaaS options found that it was the best overall fit for our needs and the needs of our client base. Easy to setup, flexible and with responsive support, Clarizen became an easy pick. I've found it to be low maintenance and high benefit. As an initial SaaS skeptic, I'm now a convert. I've enjoyed being able to see new ways of using Clarizen and to being able to contribute to its future", said Steve.
Congratulations Steve!
Welcome to some of our latest customers!
