The Business Cloud is an API enabled self-service platform, developed by Domo, that provides an array of services like data connection and data visualization.[1][2][3][4][5]

History

Domo, Inc. was founded in 2010 by Josh James who also co-founded the web analytics software company Omniture in 1996, which he took public in 2006.[6][7][8]

Domo launched the Domo Appstore, with a 1000 apps with social and mobile capabilities, in 2016.[1][2] This appstore creates a network of business apps and an ecosystem of companies[2] into a single, integrated business cloud.[1] This decision came after Domo announced a $131 million round of funding from BlackRock.[9]

According to the company, the concept behind The Business Cloud is to connect smaller clouds relating to apps or other functional areas of a business into a single business cloud that allows self-service and other social features to customers. [4]

Services

The Business Cloud is offered as a free service, claimed to be the world's first business cloud with Domo appstore as one of its core services.[5][9][10][11] This free package includes all of the Domo's features and functionality including Domo platform, Domo Apps, visualizations, alerts, company directories, org charts, profiles, tasks and Domo Mobile.[10] The Business Cloud allows customers to leverage their preferred cloud as well as on-premises software and monitor all aspects of their business in routine.[9]

The company is supported by a $500 million fund from investors all over the world.[5][11]
