At CustomWare's three global offices we've been celebrating a fantastic 2012. While the company is thrilled to reflect on the progress we've made these past 9 months, we're especially excited as we look forward to future growth with new members on our team.

Here at ServiceRocket, employees take ownership over what they, and their fellow Rocketeers, accomplish. From development to review, we think team. It's a big reason we take pride in the rocket itself, a symbol of fast growth and innovation we all share (and wear on our chests).

In just the first seven months of 2012 CustomWare is proud to announce we've reached our first milestone ($10,000) toward our goal of giving away $100,000 worth of software licenses to groups supporting worthy causes. The goal is to reach our target (which would mean more than 500 $199 vouchers) by 2014. Since January, we've given more than $12,000 to non-profits that have improved the strength of their Atlassian products by enabling our plugins and connectors to work hard for their organizations. In addition, community license holders have also reached out to CustomWare for discounts on our education services.

We take pride in promoting the efforts of these groups and we look forward to providing similar support to thousands of future causes.

Interested in learning more about our community license program? Follow the three steps below, or visit our guide for non-profits.

Step 1 - Evaluate a Plugin

Go to our web store and evaluate the plugins that you want to use. Add the evaluation license for your plugin to your cart and you'll get a 30 day evaluation key sent to you immediately.

Step 2 - Spread the word

We've been rolling out integrations with cloud-based solutions such as Salesforce.com for many years. We were also the Asia-Pacific partner for Cast Iron Systems - a leading provide of middleware for cloud to on-premise integration.

Technology Services World 2012 is the premier conference for the professional services industry. Hosted by the TSIA, the next conference takes place at the Santa Clara Convention Center on May 7-9, 2012.
