Over the years, we’ve grown to 500 employees and over 13 movie theaters in and around Chicago. We’ve also outgrown the film technology we started with. After years of using 35-millimeter film projection systems, we upgraded to 4K Ultra High-Def Digital Projectors. We’re a true 21st century cinema.<br /><br />When I joined the IT department in 2012, it was clear we were in need of another upgrade – this time, from our Microsoft Exchange server. We had ongoing issues with downtime that cost the company a lot of money and the IT team a lot of time. We looked into cloud-based systems and Google Apps was exactly what we needed – the 99.9 percent uptime sold us. <br /><br />We switched to Google Apps with the help of <a href="http://www.cloudsherpas.com/">Cloud Sherpas</a> in August 2012 and couldn’t have been in better hands. At no point did we ever have a question that they couldn't answer. Data migration? They walked us through each step along the way and made sure we didn't lose a single megabyte. Change management? They ran webinars for all of our employees about moving from Outlook to Gmail, Word to Docs and Folders to Labels. They made switching feel seamless. <br /><br />We created an employee intranet on Google Sites that houses all our necessary documents – employee schedules, upcoming screenings, movie schedules and parking lists, among others. This means everything important sits in one single place, and everyone on the team can access it. No more wild goose chases over email and no more bothering groups of people with email barrages. <br /><br />Google Apps also helped us bring our maintenance request system up to date. Before we switched over, people wrote out their problems in a Word doc and emailed them to us, then we printed them out, tracked them on a bulletin board, and took them down one by one as the maintenance team went on-site to handle each issue. With Cloud Sherpas’ help, we built a Google Form on our intranet, so now everyone submits their requests online. The Form automatically feeds into a spreadsheet, which alerts the maintenance team that work needs to be done. We’ve been able to dramatically reduce administration time and boost our productivity to a new level.

Over the years, we’ve grown to 500 employees and over 13 movie theaters in and around Chicago. We’ve also outgrown the film technology we started with. After years of using 35-millimeter film projection systems, we upgraded to 4K Ultra High-Def Digital Projectors. We’re a true 21st century cinema.<br /><br />When I joined the IT department in 2012, it was clear we were in need of another upgrade – this time, from our Microsoft Exchange server. We had ongoing issues with downtime that cost the company a lot of money and the IT team a lot of time. We looked into cloud-based systems and Google Apps was exactly what we needed – the 99.9 percent uptime sold us. <br /><br />We switched to Google Apps with the help of <a href="http://www.cloudsherpas.com/">Cloud Sherpas</a> in August 2012 and couldn’t have been in better hands. At no point did we ever have a question that they couldn't answer. Data migration? They walked us through each step along the way and made sure we didn't lose a single megabyte. Change management? They ran webinars for all of our employees about moving from Outlook to Gmail, Word to Docs and Folders to Labels. They made switching feel seamless. <br /><br />We created an employee intranet on Google Sites that houses all our necessary documents – employee schedules, upcoming screenings, movie schedules and parking lists, among others. This means everything important sits in one single place, and everyone on the team can access it. No more wild goose chases over email and no more bothering groups of people with email barrages. <br /><br />Google Apps also helped us bring our maintenance request system up to date. Before we switched over, people wrote out their problems in a Word doc and emailed them to us, then we printed them out, tracked them on a bulletin board, and took them down one by one as the maintenance team went on-site to handle each issue. With Cloud Sherpas’ help, we built a Google Form on our intranet, so now everyone submits their requests online. The Form automatically feeds into a spreadsheet, which alerts the maintenance team that work needs to be done. We’ve been able to dramatically reduce administration time and boost our productivity to a new level. We now have complete history and statistics capabilities, as well as the ability to identify trends and be more proactive. <br /><br />Just as digital technology helped us move into the modern era of film, Google Apps has helped us adapt to the future of business. It’s been a smash hit for us - just like “Superman” was back in the day. </div> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2013/02/google-apps-is-hit-at-classic-cinemas.html'> <img alt='Share on Google+' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/branding/google_plus/2x/ic_w_post_gplus_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='twitter-custom social-wrapper' data-href='http://twitter.com/share?text=Official Google Cloud Blog:Google Apps Is a Hit At Classic Cinemas&url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2013/02/google-apps-is-hit-at-classic-cinemas.html&via=gsuite'> <img alt='Share on Twitter' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_twitter_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='fb-custom social-wrapper' data-href='https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2013/02/google-apps-is-hit-at-classic-cinemas.html'> <img alt='Share on Facebook' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_facebook_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> </div> <div class='comment-container'> <i class='comment-img material-icons'>  </i> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='8' data-onclick='' data-post-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2013/02/google-apps-is-hit-at-classic-cinemas.html' data-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2013/02/google-apps-is-hit-at-classic-cinemas.html' style='color: #4184F3;'></span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2013/02/google-apps-is-hit-at-classic-cinemas.html' data-viewtype='FILTERED_POSTMOD'></div> <a href='https://plus.google.com/112374322230920073195' rel='author' style='display:none;'> Google </a> <div class='label-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'> Labels: </span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/cloud%20computing' rel='tag'> cloud computing </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/customer%20love' rel='tag'> customer love </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Customer%20testimonial' rel='tag'> Customer testimonial </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Apps' rel='tag'> Google Apps </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Apps%20Reseller' rel='tag'> Google Apps Reseller </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/partner' rel='tag'> partner </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/partners' rel='tag'> partners </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/small%20business' rel='tag'> small business </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/SMB' rel='tag'> SMB </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='8292623821468640357' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2013/02/the-first-annual-google-enterprise.html' itemprop='url' title=' The first annual Google Enterprise Global Partner Summit'> The first annual Google Enterprise Global Partner Summit </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> Tuesday, February 26, 2013 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span class="byline-author">Posted by Mark Hodgson, Head of Global Partner Programs, Google Enterprise</span><br /><br />Every day, millions of companies, schools and governments around the world run their organizations on Google’s enterprise solutions, including Google Apps, the Google Search Appliance, Google Maps and Earth, and Google Cloud Platform.

This is a more scalable and easier way for customers to sign up for Google Apps through Megazone. <br><br>To learn more about the Reseller API, visit the <a href="http://developers.google.com/google-apps/reseller">Developer’s Guide</a> in the Google APIs Console. </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2012/10/reselling-google-apps-becomes-even.html'> <img alt='Share on Google+' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/branding/google_plus/2x/ic_w_post_gplus_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='twitter-custom social-wrapper' data-href='http://twitter.com/share?text=Official Google Cloud Blog:Reselling Google Apps becomes even easier&url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2012/10/reselling-google-apps-becomes-even.html&via=gsuite'> <img alt='Share on Twitter' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_twitter_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='fb-custom social-wrapper' data-href='https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2012/10/reselling-google-apps-becomes-even.html'> <img alt='Share on Facebook' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_facebook_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> </div> <div class='comment-container'> <i class='comment-img material-icons'>  </i> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='2' data-onclick='' data-post-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2012/10/reselling-google-apps-becomes-even.html' data-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2012/10/reselling-google-apps-becomes-even.html' style='color: #4184F3;'></span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2012/10/reselling-google-apps-becomes-even.html' data-viewtype='FILTERED_POSTMOD'></div> <a href='https://plus.google.com/112374322230920073195' rel='author' style='display:none;'> Google </a> <div class='label-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'> Labels: </span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Apps%20Reseller' rel='tag'> Google Apps Reseller </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/partner' rel='tag'> partner </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='6802372390481836544' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2012/07/want-to-do-more-with-google-apps-tap.html' itemprop='url' title='Want to do more with Google Apps?

Our goal is to inspire our students to learn, motivate them to excel, and, as a result, help them to gain confidence. <br><br>We’ve been growing rapidly in recent years, primarily been through franchising. We ran Microsoft® Exchange for years, but as the number of franchise schools continued to grow, we found it more and more difficult to offer a simple start-up process and manage and deliver remote support.

Like the Google Maps API, businesses and developers can use these services to process data or build applications. </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2011/07/putting-big-data-on-map-helping.html'> <img alt='Share on Google+' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/branding/google_plus/2x/ic_w_post_gplus_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='twitter-custom social-wrapper' data-href='http://twitter.com/share?text=Official Google Cloud Blog:Putting big data on the map: helping customers see location-based information&url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2011/07/putting-big-data-on-map-helping.html&via=gsuite'> <img alt='Share on Twitter' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_twitter_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='fb-custom social-wrapper' data-href='https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2011/07/putting-big-data-on-map-helping.html'> <img alt='Share on Facebook' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_facebook_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> </div> <div class='comment-container'> <i class='comment-img material-icons'>  </i> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='1' data-onclick='' data-post-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2011/07/putting-big-data-on-map-helping.html' data-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2011/07/putting-big-data-on-map-helping.html' style='color: #4184F3;'></span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2011/07/putting-big-data-on-map-helping.html' data-viewtype='FILTERED_POSTMOD'></div> <a href='https://plus.google.com/112374322230920073195' rel='author' style='display:none;'> Google </a> <div class='label-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'> Labels: </span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/cloud%20computing' rel='tag'> cloud computing </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Maps' rel='tag'> Google Maps </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/partner' rel='tag'> partner </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='5078549702963977762' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2011/06/businesses-innovate-and-scale-faster-on.html' itemprop='url' title='Businesses innovate and scale faster on Google App Engine'> Businesses innovate and scale faster on Google App Engine </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> Wednesday, June 22, 2011 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Gregory D'alesandre, Sr. Product Manager, Google App Engine team</span> <br /><br />It was another exciting year at Google I/O for Google App Engine, with more than a dozen businesses participating in the Developer Sandbox showcasing the innovative apps they are building on <a href="//google.com/enterprise/appengine#utm_campaign=io2011&utm_source=en-na-us-entblog-AppEngine_06222011&utm_medium=blog">Google App Engine</a>.

We wrapped up our category highlights with a timely post on <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2011/01/conquer-tax-season-with-integrated.html">Accounting and Finance</a> before tax season, which featured apps such as <a href="//www.google.com/enterprise/marketplace/viewListing?productListingId=6249+7568854439109329533#utm_campaign=bday&utm_source=en-na-us-entblog-bday_03092011&utm_medium=blog">Outright</a> for small business accounting.<br /><br />All along, we were hearing a growing demand from our <a href="//www.google.com/a/help/intl/en/edu/index.html">Google Apps for Education</a> customers for more education-focused apps. So on January 25th, we introduced an <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2011/01/google-apps-just-got-smarter.html">education category</a> and added 20+ related apps, including <a href="//www.google.com/enterprise/marketplace/viewListing?productListingId=6546+12747060046611723303#utm_campaign=bday&utm_source=en-na-us-entblog-bday_03092011&utm_medium=blog">LearnBoost</a>, a free online gradebook. <br /><br />It’s been a successful year bringing 300 new integrated apps to our users around the world. Let us know what you’d like to see added or improved using our <a href="http://productideas.appspot.com/#16/e=17fe36">ideas page</a>, and keep checking back for new apps.<br /><br />Posted by Scott McMullan, Google Apps Partner Lead, Google Enterprise </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2011/03/the-google-apps-marketplace-1-year-and.html'> <img alt='Share on Google+' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/branding/google_plus/2x/ic_w_post_gplus_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='twitter-custom social-wrapper' data-href='http://twitter.com/share?text=Official Google Cloud Blog:The Google Apps Marketplace - 1 year and 300 apps later&url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2011/03/the-google-apps-marketplace-1-year-and.html&via=gsuite'> <img alt='Share on Twitter' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_twitter_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='fb-custom social-wrapper' data-href='https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2011/03/the-google-apps-marketplace-1-year-and.html'> <img alt='Share on Facebook' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_facebook_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> </div> <div class='comment-container'> <i class='comment-img material-icons'>  </i> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='6' data-onclick='' data-post-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2011/03/the-google-apps-marketplace-1-year-and.html' data-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2011/03/the-google-apps-marketplace-1-year-and.html' style='color: #4184F3;'></span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2011/03/the-google-apps-marketplace-1-year-and.html' data-viewtype='FILTERED_POSTMOD'></div> <a href='https://plus.google.com/112374322230920073195' rel='author' style='display:none;'> Google </a> <div class='label-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'> Labels: </span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/developers' rel='tag'> developers </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Apps' rel='tag'> Google Apps </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Apps%20Blog' rel='tag'> Google Apps Blog </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/marketplace' rel='tag'> marketplace </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/partner' rel='tag'> partner </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='2867257139834832180' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2011/02/google-apps-certification-program.html' itemprop='url' title='Google Apps Certification Program launches'> Google Apps Certification Program launches </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> Wednesday, February 23, 2011 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> Adoption of Google Apps is accelerating around the world with over 3 million businesses that have gone Google. <a href="//www.google.com/apps/intl/en/resellers/index.html#utm_campaign=launch&utm_source=en-na-us-entblog-012311&utm_medium=blog">Google Apps Authorized Resellers</a> play a critical role in helping businesses get started.

Bergelectric has more than 1,300 field employees and over 400 office professionals coast to coast.<br /><br />Our company had been a Novell Groupwise shop for many years, and IT staff had begun to feel increasing frustration with the platform due to its stagnancy. They were forced to dedicate substantial time and resources to maintaining servers across many sites nationwide. And we had to enforce email storage quotas of 100MB, though this amount of storage was often inadequate for users. Collaboration possibilities were practically nonexistent. In short, this aging environment wasn’t keeping pace with Bergelectric and this created a significant challenge for the organization.<br /><br />The choice to move to a hosted e-mail service was discussed passionately at every level of the company and marked a significant departure from the costly, and dated, infrastructure constraints of our on-premise system. After we made the decision to move to a hosted provider, we spent a considerable amount of time comparing offerings, including Microsoft BPOS-S and Google Apps. Initially we found Microsoft BPOS-S an attractive option, but as we delved deeper into the contract and piloted a production environment deployment we found the BPOS-S solution came up short - even with the significant concessions Microsoft made in order to be competitive with Google. For example, we were put off by the fact that we would have to go through a third party company for email archiving and retention. We soon came to the realization that we would have to invest significant additional time and money into BPOS in order to meet our initial expectations of migrating to the cloud.<br /><br />We decided to revisit Google Apps. For email archiving and retention, <a href="//www.google.com/postini/discovery.html#utm_campaign=gaar&utm_source=en-blog-na-us-gaar_ent_sada&utm_medium=blog&utm_term=ent_blog_sada">Google Message Discovery</a> was easier to use, significantly cheaper, better integrated into the entire email migration process, and offered more features than the third party options available with BPOS. Once more, through the course of our lengthy evaluation, Google continued to update Apps’ functionality to incorporate virtually all of the features that we had valued in Microsoft’s offering. After updates such as Google Calendar Sync, which syncs events between Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook Calendar, and the ability to delegate calendar management to an administrative assistant, we had reached the tipping point where users adamant about using Outlook became confident in the capabilities of the Google Apps suite.<br /><br />Following a rapid response by a combined team from Google and Google Apps Authorized Reseller, <a href="//www.google.com/enterprise/marketplace/viewVendorListings?vendorId=3448">SADA Systems, Inc.</a>, Bergelectric quickly made plans to “Go Google.” Key components of the deployment included user synchronization between Active Directory and Google Apps, single sign-on to Apps using Active Directory credentials, migration of all data from Groupwise to Google (including historical email, contacts and calendar items), Google Apps integration with BlackBerry Enterprise Server, implementation of the Google Message Discovery product for mail archiving and discovery, and a complete training and change management effort to ensure the smoothest possible transition and high user adoption rates.<br /><br />Our migration off the Groupwise platform has allowed the IT staff to focus its resources on more strategic, business-driven initiatives in the online space. The IT team has regained precious time previously spent patching and keeping the e-mail servers running and are now able to focus on things like business continuity and compliance. Employees have a generous 25 GB of e-mail storage and the ability access e-mail and collaboration tools from our many offices and remote project sites, whether it’s via a desktop, laptop or mobile device.<br /><br />We were impressed by Google’s commitment to making it easy and simple for long-term on-premise users to migrate to the cloud. And Google’s <a href="http://www.dataliberation.org/?utm_campaign=gaar&utm_source=en-blog-na-us-gaar_ent_sada&utm_medium=blog&utm_term=ent_blog_sada">data liberation policy</a> gave us peace of mind that, if we ever wanted to move platforms, we’d be able to readily do so. Once more, their commitment to open standards and APIs allow us to access our own data and customize our implementation in ways that we never thought possible. As our business needs evolve, we can find additional apps in the <a href="//www.google.com/enterprise/marketplace/?utm_campaign=gaar&utm_source=en-blog-na-us-gaar_ent_sada&utm_medium=blog&utm_term=ent_blog_sada">Google Apps Marketplace</a> or we can easily build our own on <a href="http://code.google.com/appengine/?utm_campaign=gaar&utm_source=en-blog-na-us-gaar_ent_sada&utm_medium=blog&utm_term=ent_blog_sada">Google App Engine.</a><br /><br />Overall, our employees have been extremely happy with the move to Google Apps.
