The acquisition brings new automation capabilities to the CloudBlue platform, with integrations designed to simplify and accelerate customers’ transition to an Everything-as-a-Service business. Keenondots adopted Ingram Micro’s CloudBlue platform in 2010 to help automate its internal ordering, provisioning and invoicing processes, and in 2015, began licensing CloudBlue as the backbone of its Commerce Platform.
