Association of Washington Business and SaaS Markets Introduce New SaaS App Store for SMBs

By Deepika Mala, TMCnet Contributor

The Association of Washington Business, Washington's oldest and largest statewide business association, has collaborated with SaaS (News - Alert) Markets, a global business app store provider, to introduce an innovative SaaS App Store for small business owners.


Chamber members, with the help of the AWB App Store, will be provided with easy access to more than 1,300 trusted SaaS applications specifically designed to meet the needs of small business owners. This will further help AWB chamber members save valuable time, money and resources.

Officials said the SaaS App Store will now make it possible for small business members to try applications without commitment.

The applications will allow them to not only automate, but better manage their business operations. Additionally, they will also help eliminate the high capital expenses of purchasing and deploying hardware and software designed to improve their operational efficiency.

"Time is one of the most precious resources small business owners have, and our partners at SaaS Markets understand how to help entrepreneurs save time and make better technology decisions. Our goal as the state chamber is to help our members be successful and contribute to a healthy economy,” Kris Johnson, vice president of operations for the Association of Washington Business, said in a statement. “The Small Business App Store helps our members quickly find reliable, affordable and appropriate business solutions that will allow them to grow and create new jobs here in the state of Washington."

“With this new App Store, we will help the members of the AWB state chamber focus their time on building their businesses, creating jobs and those factors that drive growth, and less time worried about IT and operational issues," said Ferdi Roberts, founder and CEO at SaaS Markets.

In related TMC (News - Alert) news, SaaS Markets, in association with the Greater Richmond Chamber of Commerce, recently unveiled a new Small Business App Store.
