Rod Drury talks Apple and goes Beyond Accounting

Xero CEO and cofounder Rod Drury had plenty to share at Xerocon. And his excitement is absolutely infectious:

“I’m really excited about the Apple partnership … Having one of the most loved and recognized brands in the world now actively talking about small business as a strategic category is incredibly exciting.”

And here’s the Apple plan:

● Get in the Apple Stores. Lots of small businesses discover technology at an Apple Store.
● Arm the Apple retail channel. This local effort can help small businesses in their own language.
● Verticalize the solutions. Now we can all have very specific conversations.

The goal is to “get our accounting and bookkeeping partners in store so they can build that local relationship all over the world.”

But Apple was only part of the Xerocon experience:

“We were also talking about Beyond Accounting.” This includes the announcement of full Gmail integration directly inside Xero. Most small businesses communicate with their customers by phone or email – and having Gmail inside Xero is a huge benefit. “It’s all about education, you can show people the way of how to use technology to give them back time – more time with their families, to grow their businesses, to hire more people. All of those good things. So it’s going to be really exciting for years.”
