Elevate your services business by bringing Google innovation to your customers

Did you know that hundreds of thousands of small businesses around the world have already signed up for Google Apps? Thousands more are signing up every day because they recognize the opportunity to improve their business with better communication and collaboration tools. Perhaps some of your customers are already among them.

Well it turns out this groundswell of interest is creating entirely new business opportunities for savvy small business solution providers. Let us know if you too would like to grow your practice by leading your existing and new customers onto Google's innovation path.


Consider these opportunities

Google Apps is hosted by Google, so it doesn't fit with traditional on-premises service models. This may have you wondering how Google Apps could apply to your business. Here are few specific ways in which you can complement and enhance your small business solution offerings with Google Apps related services:

  • Basic setup and DNS record configuration - Without in-house expertise this can be a stumbling block for customers
  • Data migration - Each user's existing email archives often need to be carried forward into Google Apps
  • Configuration and customization - Configure service settings, including the Start Page, to map to business processes
  • Training and best practices - While the applications are intuitive, some users need help getting the most from them
  • API integrations - Develop custom extensions and infrastructure integrations with Google's APIs
  • Application development - Develop lightweight business web applications (Google Gadgets) that plug into the Start Page
  • Managed services - Administer Google Apps remotely for your clients with the web-based control panel
  • Help desk services - End-user support complements Google's support offering for domain administrators
  • Customer referrals - With our referral program, you get paid for simply bringing new customers to Google Apps
