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> </script> <noscript> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span class="byline-author">Posted by Tristan Dobbs, Managing Director of IT for Classic Cinemas</span><br /><br /><i><b>Editor's note:</b> Our guest blogger this week is Tristan Dobbs, Technical Services Team Guru for <a href="http://www.classiccinemas.com/">Classic Cinemas</a>, a family-owned movie theater chain based in Downers Grove, IL.

We will continue investing in our Reseller Program to ensure that all of our partners have the support and technical expertise they need to enable successful customer deployments.<br /> <br /> Beginning today, we will start to recognize high-performing partners as Premier Resellers. Authorized Resellers remain a core focus for our Reseller program, and we will continue to invest in resources, tools and training to help Authorized Resellers succeed. For Authorized Resellers to become Premier Resellers, we have an objective set of eligibility criteria based on revenue, technical expertise and customer success. We are committed to working with each of our resellers to help them meet these specific qualifications. <br /> <br /> We're also introducing additional categorizations to help customers identify resellers who focus on specific Google products and specific size companies.<br /> <br /> As our reseller partners continue to help customers succeed, we hope these new standards will help them strengthen their business by providing clear benchmarks for them to strive for and meet. Current and prospective Google Resellers can learn more about the different categories and about becoming a Premier Reseller, including eligibility criteria and benefits, by visiting our <a href="//google.com/enterprise/resellers#utm_campaign=launch&utm_source=en-na-us-entblog_tiering_launch_06082011&utm_medium=blog">Google Reseller Program website</a>.</div> </script> <noscript> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Jim Chow, Global Partner Programs, Google Enterprise</span> <br /> <br /> Resellers are one of the key drivers of customer adoption of Google Apps, Earth, Maps, and Enterprise Search.

We offer integrated mapping analytics incorporating Google Maps API Premier as an “off the shelf” solution for users of all the major BI platforms - currently these include (but are not restricted to) BI products from Cognos (IBM), Business Objects (SAP), Oracle, MicroStrategy, QlikView, Actuate, BIRT, Microsoft Excel and SQL Reporting Services.<br /><br />Posted By Natasha Wyatt, Google Earth and Maps Team </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2010/09/you-can-be-lost-in-data-without-map.html?hl=en'> <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:You Can Be Lost in Data Without A Map&url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2010/09/you-can-be-lost-in-data-without-map.html?hl=en&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/2010/09/you-can-be-lost-in-data-without-map.html?hl=en'> <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='4' data-onclick='' data-post-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2010/09/you-can-be-lost-in-data-without-map.html?hl=en' data-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2010/09/you-can-be-lost-in-data-without-map.html' style='color: #4184F3;'></span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2010/09/you-can-be-lost-in-data-without-map.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%20Earth%20Enterprise?hl=en' rel='tag'> Google Earth Enterprise </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Maps?hl=en' rel='tag'> Google Maps </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/partner?hl=en' rel='tag'> partner </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/partners?hl=en' rel='tag'> partners </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='7630186791984751462' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2010/04/dito-journey-as-google-apps-reseller.html?hl=en' itemprop='url' title='Dito's Journey as a Google Apps Reseller: screaming "Yeeeehaa" the whole way'> Dito's Journey as a Google Apps Reseller: screaming "Yeeeehaa" the whole way </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> Monday, April 5, 2010 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="//1.bp.blogspot.com/_jSdgG4-DeNE/S7Z_vcTLmrI/AAAAAAAAAU0/Txbr5OGdyVU/s1600/danandjim.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5455688451633158834" src="//1.bp.blogspot.com/_jSdgG4-DeNE/S7Z_vcTLmrI/AAAAAAAAAU0/Txbr5OGdyVU/s320/danandjim.jpg" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;"></a><div style="text-align: left;"><i><b>Editor's Note: </b>Today’s guest blogger is Jim McNelis, co-founder of </i><a href="http://ditoweb.com/"><i>Dito</i></a><i>, a <a href="//www.google.com/apps/intl/en/business/resellers/index.html#utm_campaign=gaar&utm_source=en-blog-na-us-gaar_ent_dito&utm_medium=&utm_term=ent_blog_dito">Google Apps Authorized Reseller</a> and vendor in the <a href="//www.google.com/enterprise/marketplace/home#utm_campaign=marketplace&utm_source=en-blog-na-us_ent_dito&utm_medium=&utm_term=ent_blog_dito">Google Apps Marketplace</a>.</i></div><div><br /></div><div>Did you know that a little over 100 years ago, before the electrical grid existed, businesses had their own power plants to generate electricity?</div><div><br /></div><div>As Nicolas Carr points out in his book, The Big Switch, factories used to produce their own electricity and manage those huge generators themselves, rather than outsource to a power company.

For the past eleven years, Jason has implemented eCommerce search, Enterprise search, and Business Intelligence solutions at major Internet Retailer Top 100 and Fortune 500 companies.<br /></span><br />When Google announced <a href="//www.google.com/commercesearch/#utm_source=en-na-us-entblog-gcs&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=doi_launch">Google Commerce Search</a> we were excited to learn about the technology and the business challenges it could help solve. The promise of Google's outstanding relevance being tailored to the unique needs of eCommerce search was an intriguing prospect and we wanted to be very involved.<br /><br />Google Commerce Search delivers features such as parametric search, product promotions, and customization which extend the powerful backbone of their high-availability, highly-scalable infrastructure. All of this allows the eRetailer to focus on merchandising and quality of search instead of issues such as infrastructure and peak loads. It's exciting technology and very powerful.<br /><br />One of the biggest challenges we typically face is the ability to provide a demonstration of technology that is tailored to the specific interests and culture of our clients. The issue is fairly simple: how do I build a compelling proof of concept quickly that will be received enthusiastically by my customer?<br /><br />It’s a challenge in any situation, but it’s even more difficult for eCommerce search. Search results are interwoven within the site design, and customers often want to see how search technology will help improve their existing product thumbnails page. Creating a demonstration usually means rewiring a sample page with enough technology to demonstrate the desired features. Submission forms, pagination, browser history, and the various search features themselves must be hand-crafted. Simply put, it can be a tedious and time-consuming task.<br /><br />To help commerce site managers and developers understand the capabilities of Google Commerce Search, and see the features that are often important, we developed a reference application using Google Web Toolkit (GWT). By including the GWT-generated JavaScript within a sample page, and adding a few "div" tags to surround elements to replace, it is possible to take a static HTML page and turn it into a robust AJAX application, deriving results from Google Commerce Search.<br /><br />A few tweaks to a style sheet and the results will appear identical to the original source page. It's that simple: add some JavaScript, wrap some elements with "div" tags, and tinker with a few CSS settings.<br /><br />We can then present the Google Commerce Search results as if they were within the client's site itself, fully functional with faceted navigation, promotions, and all the power of Google's searching relevance.<br /><br />The story can end here, as we now have a functioning implementation of Google Commerce Search. But a proof of concept only tells a part of the story. The rest of the story is told by interweaving features throughout your site with promotional zones, merchandising options, and strategies to make the most of your data and your shopper's experience.<br /><br />If you'd like check out our open source solution for Google Commerce Search, <a href="http://www.innoventsolutions.com/google-commerce-search-gwt-demo.html">take a look at the demo page on our website</a> and let us know what you think.<div><br /><div style="text-align: right;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic; ">Jason Hellman</span></div><span style="font-style:italic;"><div style="text-align: right;">Information Access and Search Practice Leader, Innovent Solutions</div></span><br />Posted by Brent VerWeyst, Enterprise Search Partner Lead</div> </script> <noscript> <span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Editor's note:</span> Today’s guest blogger is Jason Hellman, Information Access and Search Practice Leader at <a href="http://www.innoventsolutions.com/">Innovent Solutions</a>, a Google Enterprise Partner that works with Google search and analytics technologies.

The rest of the story is told by interweaving features throughout your site with promotional zones, merchandising options, and strategies to make the most of your data and your shopper's experience.<br /><br />If you'd like check out our open source solution for Google Commerce Search, <a href="http://www.innoventsolutions.com/google-commerce-search-gwt-demo.html">take a look at the demo page on our website</a> and let us know what you think.<div><br /><div style="text-align: right;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic; ">Jason Hellman</span></div><span style="font-style:italic;"><div style="text-align: right;">Information Access and Search Practice Leader, Innovent Solutions</div></span><br />Posted by Brent VerWeyst, Enterprise Search Partner Lead</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/2010/03/innovent-solutions-driving-ecommerce.html?hl=en'> <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:Innovent Solutions: "test driving" eCommerce potential&url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2010/03/innovent-solutions-driving-ecommerce.html?hl=en&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/2010/03/innovent-solutions-driving-ecommerce.html?hl=en'> <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/2010/03/innovent-solutions-driving-ecommerce.html?hl=en' data-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2010/03/innovent-solutions-driving-ecommerce.html' style='color: #4184F3;'></span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2010/03/innovent-solutions-driving-ecommerce.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%20commerce%20search?hl=en' rel='tag'> google commerce search </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/guest%20post?hl=en' rel='tag'> guest post </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/innovation?hl=en' rel='tag'> innovation </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/partners?hl=en' rel='tag'> partners </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='357108633771475837' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2010/02/celebrating-google-apps-resellers-year.html?hl=en' itemprop='url' title='Celebrating Google Apps Resellers – a year of customer success'> Celebrating Google Apps Resellers – a year of customer success </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> Monday, February 22, 2010 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> When we launched the <a href="//www.google.com/apps/intl/en/business/resellers/index.html#utm_campaign=gaar&utm_source=en-blog-na-us-gaar_ent&utm_medium=blog&utm_term=ent_blog_anniv">Google Apps Authorized Reseller Program</a> a year ago, a number of partners around the world were already actively helping customers of all sizes reduce IT costs and complexity while giving users the productivity tools they wanted – Gmail, Google Calendar, and more.
