As we officially talked about using Google sites / docs for collaboration between employees in four different states today it got me to thinking about how Google is pushing into the enterprise.
No longer is Google to be thought as of a solution for the home user or sub 10 person office. There are solutions providers cropping up around the world focused on integrating Google into your customer’s organization.
Value propositions such as this can be easily found and I have to admit it sounds pretty attractive: “Focus on the integration of Google Apps Premier Edition™ within existing environments to extend the user population and improve, while simplifying, collaboration.”
You can find a list of Google enterprise partners listed here, take note of the different value propositions being offered.
I suspect that Google will make some changes to their channel program to further foster you and I creating services such as these around their offerings for our clients, if you know of any changes coming certainly share them with us.
I know I for one am already thinking about how to wrap service and support around Google’s enterprise offerings as well as thinking about how they can solve the problems our organization faces.
