SherpaTools Now Available in the Google Apps Marketplace
We’re excited to announce that SherpaTools for Google Apps, the new IT management application from Cloud Sherpas, has been added to the Google Apps Marketplace™, launched this evening.
As revealed by Google, the Marketplace is an online storefront for Google Apps™ products and services. Over two million Google Apps users can now easily discover, purchase and deploy integrated business applications, including SherpaTools.
For Cloud Sherpas, the Marketplace is a great way to reach customers. As an original member of the Google Apps reseller program, we can tell you that IT managers and business users absolutely love the communication and collaboration capabilities provided by Google Apps. We’ve migrated tens of thousands of users to Google Apps and the community is very hungry for products that extend the platform’s rich tool set.
SherpaTools is a terrific example. The application provides IT managers and business users with previously unavailable admin and corporate directory functionality. Thus far the response has been tremendously positive. It doesn’t hurt that SherpaTools is the only 100% free, cloud-based IT management add-on to Google Apps.
For Cloud Sherpas, this is just the beginning. As more companies embrace the cloud, Google Apps will grow in popularity, and products like SherpaTools will ride the wave. For now we’re pleased to be joining “a rich ecosystem of integrated apps that work seamlessly with Google Apps,” as noted by Scott McMullan, Google Apps Partner Lead for Google Enterprise. We look forward to helping more companies realize the productivity and cost-savings associated with the use of the Google Apps Marketplace.

SherpaTools beta now open to all Google Apps Premier, Education and Partner domains
Cloud Sherpas is pleased to welcome the Google Apps community into the SherpaTools for Google Apps beta program. There’s no longer a need to sign up and wait for an invitation — if you have a Google Apps administrator account, you can log in right now!
To start, visit this help page on SherpaTools.com to learn how to configure your domain for Single Sign-On (Remember – SherpaTools only works with Google Apps Premier, Education and Partner edition). Configuring single sign-on will allow you to access SherpaTools as long as you’re logged in to Google Apps. As a result, SherpaTools will never handle your administrator credentials. Once you’ve configured your domain, browse to sherpatools.appspot.com to log in.
Thank you to all of our beta program participants who have provided invaluable feedback during the development process. We’re excited to open the app up to a larger audience and look forward to receiving your feedback as well. Enjoy!
