History

Orbitera was founded in 2012, by Brian Singer and Firas Bushnaq after Brian found challenges associated with selling software at tech companies where he had previously worked. [3] [4] [5] The company initially raised $2 million in seed funding from Resolute Ventures and Double M Partners. By 2016, the company's platform was used by Adobe Systems, Red Hat and Avnet among others. [6] [7] That same year, the company was acquired by Google. As a result of the deal, the company became part of Google Cloud Platform. [8] In 2018, Orbitera partnered with the mobile device management provider MobileIron to develop a store for cloud-based software. [9]

Since its inception, Orbitera's e-commerce platform supports multi-cloud commerce.

[12] The company's 2018 partnership with MobileIron will enable clients to sell groups of services by customer segment, allow for customized branding, offer streamlined billing, and support data, voice, and third-party cloud services.
