New complementary integrated apps in the Google Apps Marketplace

Exciting news tonight as we launched the new Google Apps Marketplace with important implications for customers, developers, and our reseller partners.

Resellers can help customers easily discover, purchase, deploy, and take advantage right away of a number of new third party cloud applications which are integrated in specific ways to allow ease of installation, management, and end user access. We anticipate our Google Apps Authorized Resellers will be able to leverage these initial and future complementary applications to expand the solutions they provide to Google Apps customers.

Secondly, solution providers providing Google Apps related custom application development can consider productizing their own integrated offerings for other partners and customers to discover, purchase, and install through the marketplace. To this end, we were joined in this launch by 50 participating developers, including our Google Apps Authorized Resellers Dito, LTech, SADA Systems, Cloud Sherpas, and Sheepdog.
