Introducing SherpaTools for Google Apps

A new platform that delivers enhanced management and end user features to organizations that have #gonegoogle

As Cloud Sherpas continues to help businesses and organizations adopt Google Apps, we have found that many customers, regardless of location or industry, request a common set of additional management controls and end user features for their Google Apps environment. Until now, the response to most of these inquiries was that organizations had to develop custom applications that work with Google APIs to achieve their goals.

Today Cloud Sherpas announces the start of a beta program for SherpaTools for Google Apps, a new platform that enhances the functionality and ease-of-use for administrators and end-users. Delivered as a service and requiring no installation or updates, we invite Google Apps administrators to signup for the beta program, free of charge, and instantly take control of their domain.

The first module in SherpaTools is Directory Manager, which today enhances an organization’s ability to effectively communicate by granting administrators greater autonomy and management control over both User Profiles and Shared Contacts. Coming soon is an automated bot that retrieves data from your directory from any device connected to Google chat. Also on the horizon is a Compliance and Reporting module that will provide scheduled reports, automated alerts and powerful privacy and content sharing controls.

SherpaTools is the easiest, most cost-efficient way to extend Google Apps in your organization. The suite addresses many common use-cases to provide a more user-friendly and self-directed Google Apps experience. Take one of the limited spots in our beta program and see for yourself the benefits of SherpaTools for Google Apps.

Cloud Sherpas is proud to announce that our own Director of Professional Services, Jeff Miller, has been invited by the Cloud Computing Conference & Expo to lead the seminar, Migrating Collaborative Applications to the Cloud. The upcoming event held between Nov. 2-4 invites the cloud computing community (developers, software professionals, IT managers, CIOs, etc.) to Santa Clara, California to examine the latest resources, ideas, and examples being introduced by their colleagues. Jeff will draw upon both his extensive experience as an IT executive as well as his time at Cloud Sherpas to address a frequently complicated stage in migrations: the migration of collaborative applications. We look forward to both his seminar and the conference as a whole. Don’t miss out on this great opportunity!
