“Developers are an integral part of X.commerce’s ecosystem, and we are thrilled to be one of the companies that are working together to support the continued growth of the development community,” said Karthik Suri, Sr. Director of Community Experience and Integration Services at X.commerce, Inc.
“As tech companies, our developers are the most important resource we have, and yet their unique interests are often underrepresented in the broader conversations in Silicon Valley and D.C. Very impressed with what we’ve seen from the App Developers Alliance so far, so we’re pleased to be a member,” said Adam Bonnifield, Co-Founder, Spinnakr.
As members, these companies join the more than 8,000 individual developers and dozens of companies represented by the Alliance. The Application Developers Alliance provides developers with essential services, policy advocacy, event and sponsorship opportunities, and resources to support and promote growth in the application development industry.
“The technologies developed by these new Alliance members are permeating our daily lives and changing the way we do business. X.commerce is a leader in mobile payment technologies, ConferenceEdge helps bring conference and event planning online, and Alliance members like CMP.LY, Evidon, and Spinnakr give businesses the tools they need in today’s digital economy,” said Jon Potter, Alliance President.
