Centerstance Joins Google Apps Authorized Reseller Program
Market Wire, November, 2009
Centerstance today announced it has become an
authorized reseller of the Google Apps(TM) suite of communication and
collaboration tools.
Google Apps brings simple, powerful communication and collaboration tools
to all sizes of organizations. With Google Apps, users have access to
applications such as Gmail(TM) webmail service, Google Talk(TM) instant
messaging service, Google Calendar(TM) calendaring service, Google Docs(TM)
program, Google Sites(TM) web application, and Google Video(TM) for
business with their own domain to work together more effectively. Best of
all, everything is hosted by Google, so there’s no hardware or software to
download, install or maintain.
“It’s a natural partnership,” stated John Marshall, Director of Technology
Services at Centerstance. “Centerstance is the Northwest’s premier Cloud
Computing consulting company and Google is a major player in both Software
as a Service (SaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS).”
“We are pleased to have been selected as a Google Apps Reseller — we’ve
used Google Apps for productivity and collaboration services for some time
now and we’re confident that our clients will achieve the same level of
increased efficiency and cost effectiveness,” said Arne Kainu, Centerstance
President and CEO. “Clients can leverage our deployment, configuration and
adoption methodology — honed by our experience implementing the apps for
other firms — with more than 2 million businesses running Google Apps; we
believe this migration is just getting started.”
“We believe that Google App Engine is a premier Platform as a Service
offering, and by leveraging this platform as a standardized development and
deployment environment, our clients can realize tremendous savings in
environment monitoring, management and maintenance costs compared to the
more traditional application development and deployment approaches,” said
Marshall.
The Google Apps Reseller program includes resellers, consultants and
independent software vendors that sell, service and customize Google Apps
Premier Edition for their customers. Centerstance received training and
support services from Google, as well as access to APIs for integrating
Google Apps into its customers’ business operations.
