  • Design and development of an application to accelerate migration to Google Calendar from NSF, First Class, and Microsoft Exchange

We have helped several mid sized and large businesses save millions of dollars by successfully transitioning their business applications to Google Apps.

A pilot is an effective, low-risk way to let your users experience the productivity-enhancing features of Google Apps without interfering with your existing infrastructure. The pilot will help you understand things that work for you with Google Apps and areas for improvement or customization. You can use the services of a specialist vendor to make the required changes and then go in for organization wide roll out of Google services.

Google provides a large number of useful API's that can be leveraged to develop almost any communication, collaboration, and productivity right from the browser. Any experienced Google Apps developer will first check the Google API's before developing widgets and tools needed. Google provides API's in the following categories:

  • Application APIs - provide a simple way for reading and writing data on the web, automate tasks across many of the Google Apps products and provide implementations and extensions to the gadgets API
  • Auth APIs – provides a number of methods for performing authentication and authorization of users
  • Marketplace APIs - offers domain-strength applications for organizations of all sizes
  • Domain Information & Management APIs – facilitate adoption of Google Apps manage domains on an ongoing basis, as well as migrate from and integrate with existing IT infrastructure

Through our work and research on Google Apps, we believe that the Secure Data Connector (SDC) is a highly secure and reliable service to help you bring the power of Google Apps within your firewall. SDC lets you access your data from within Google Gadgets, Google App Engine, and Google Spreadsheets. SDC provides an agent to connect your Google Apps domain to your behind-the-firewall data sources.

Google's SSO solution only applies to web applications. If you want to enable your users to access Google services with desktop clients, you will still need to provide your users with usable passwords and synchronize those passwords with your internal user database using the Provisioning API. If the client is a standalone single-user "installed" client (such as a desktop application), then you should use the ClientLogin Interface system.
