A still from a Google video demonstrating how the Apps reseller relationship works
(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Infrastructure as a service cloud provider and web hosting operator Atlantic Metro Communications posted a press release to its blog on Tuesday announcing that it has become an authorized reseller of the Google Apps suite of communication and collaborations tools.
Google Apps provides businesses with communications and collaboration tools, hosted by Google, including mail, calendar and instant messaging. Along with Google Docs, the tools provide a fairly complete set of hosted, online productivity and business tools.
For some hosting providers, offering Google Apps to customers can be a practical or even ideological alternative to more widely distributed offerings like Microsoft Exchange.
The reseller program enables hosting partners, like Atlantic Metro, to provide customers with access to the Google Apps products. Atlantic Metro says it provides its customers with deployment help, training and support for the tools, along with access to APIs for integrating the apps into their business operations.
More information on what Google can provide to resellers is available at the Google Apps reseller program website.
“Becoming a Google Apps Reseller has expanded our service portfolio and enabled us to offer our clients access to a broad set of powerful and easy to use APIs,” said Stephen Klenert, co-founder of Atlantic Metro Communications, quoted in the announcement. “Google Apps for Business is a cost-effective solution, and the tools provided allow our customers to communicate and collaborate effectively. Our clients have found that using Google Apps has helped them to complete day-to-day tasks such as scheduling and document management more efficiently and improved overall productivity.”
More information on the offerings available through Atlantic Metro’s reseller relationship with Google Apps is available at the company’s website.
