3 short weeks
Posted by Scott Petry, Founder,
Postini
Three weeks ago today was the official close of Google's
acquisition of Postini — and what a three weeks it's been.
"Official close" meant that integration work could
legally begin, and so the Google Apps team and Postini team have
been burning the midnight oil to get our services integrated. Now,
Google Apps customers, Postini customers and everyone else can see
the results.
Postini security and compliance capabilities are officially part of
Google Apps Premier
Edition. Google Apps customers get these services for free.
Postini customers get an extended trial period for Apps. New
customers can choose their entry point: Apps (including
security and compliance) or any of the standalone Postini
services.
The benefits of software as a service are numerous — that's
why we're seeing a huge interest in Apps. Businesses of all
sizes are asking for these services, and we need to help customers
embrace Apps without loss of features, functions, or security.
I'm proud that Postini plays a role in this offering.
Postini was founded in 1999 with the vision of transforming how IT
organizations consumed security and compliance products. We
recognized the service delivery model brings huge leverage, and
36,000 customers around the world validated that vision. Google
Enterprise is now scaling that vision. No one knows what the next
three weeks will bring, but we're all excited to be part of
it.
