ezeep for Azure becomes ezeep Blue

A few weeks ago, we introduced ezeep groups and the ability to invite users by email address. We are now working on creating an ezeep organization without Microsoft Azure. We will release multiple apps in the upcoming weeks that will be attractive to companies that have nothing to do with Azure. That’s why we decided to rename our service ezeep for Azure to ezeep Blue. This is an intermediary step to reach our goal to merge our three cloud printing platforms into one platform under the name ezeep.
