Reimagining security and productivity with Zendesk and AWS AppFabric

Most businesses rely on a host of SaaS applications to keep their operations running—but those services often fail to work together smoothly. AWS AppFabric and Zendesk aim to fix that problem.

Many businesses rely on Zendesk to manage their customer conversations and create satisfying service experiences. Unfortunately, those experiences can get quite complicated the moment you leave the Zendesk application.

That’s because businesses rely on numerous SaaS applications to keep operations running smoothly, and those applications don’t always play well together despite most being built on a common cloud service, Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Pulling data from multiple SaaS applications can be a tedious, time-consuming experience. Because many of those programs aren’t built on the same foundation, the result is a lack of coherence and consistency across reports. Meanwhile, with data protection being a major concern, IT administrators need to balance the need for more efficient reporting with security.

AWS AppFabric enables businesses to manage data across apps and access audit logs in a standardized, common language.

That’s where AWS AppFabric comes in. It enables businesses to manage data across apps and access audit logs in a standardized, common language. Zendesk, which is built on AWS and serves as an AWS Advanced Technology Partner, is integrated with AWS AppFabric.

Together, this relationship reinforces Zendesk’s commitment to enabling businesses to create better customer experiences while leveraging the unified foundation of AWS, the backbone of accessible and secure services.
