About Spanning

Spanning was created with a singular purpose – to help companies protect and manage their information in the cloud. We provide powerful, reliable, enterprise-class data protection for all your Google Apps: Gmail, Drive, Sites, Calendars and Contacts.
At Spanning, we understand that your data is the lifeblood of your business. When a data disaster occurs, it not only reduces productivity, it can inflict a fatal blow to your business. Our mission is to never let that happen.
If your business relies on Google Apps, you should rely on Spanning.
Who we are
Based in Austin Texas, Spanning was founded in 2010 by Charlie Wood. As co-founder of Spanning Sync (2006), Charlie and his team established an intensely loyal customer base of 50,000+ paid subscribers, gaining real-world insight into how people and businesses use Google Apps.
Building on this experience, Charlie created Spanning Cloud Apps (“Spanning” for short) and continues to grow a top-notch, dedicated team of innovative thinkers. Spanning works closely with the Google Apps team to evolve the company’s understanding of Google’s rapidly expanding ecosystem for businesses.
One of our founding precepts is to provide value in everything we do. The Spanning culture is focused on doing things for the right reasons, consistently re-evaluating our approach, and continually evolving our thinking.
Our flagship product is Spanning Backup for Google Apps.
