This feature delivers the search and analysis capabilities normally available with on-premise solutions, but without the associated complexity or maintenance.<br /><br />When messages pass through the Postini service, header and transaction data about these messages is stored in a log. Previously, admins only had access to this data through customer support. With the Message Log Search feature, email administrators can now easily run searches on these logs and drill down to the details about how specific messages were processed.<br /><br />For example, admins can view the disposition of messages, such as whether a message or group of messages was delivered, quarantined, archived, or encrypted.<br /><br />Say an admin was checking the delivery status of all inbound emails from Matthew Smith:<div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="//1.bp.blogspot.com/_jSdgG4-DeNE/S2sILbay9bI/AAAAAAAAAPw/kvz_pehtKuw/s1600-h/LogSearchQuery-edited2.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5434446367784367538" src="//1.bp.blogspot.com/_jSdgG4-DeNE/S2sILbay9bI/AAAAAAAAAPw/kvz_pehtKuw/s400/LogSearchQuery-edited2.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 141px;"></a><br />Message Log Search returns results which include who received the message, date/time, disposition, and more.

For example, Dave Lugo at Affiliated Computer Systems is "very happy" that Message Log Search helps him track errant emails and easily resolve the "they didn't get it / we didn't get it" tickets he receives from his users. Joe Stark at HeidelbergCement uses log searching to "proactively search for problem senders" and block them entirely from his network.<br /><br />Other customers have found that the Message Log Search interface is "very fast and responsive," and helps them to determine the effectiveness of new content policies and gain insight into traffic patterns across their organization.<br /><br />These are a few examples that illustrate the flexibility and power of Message Log Search, and starting today, you can try the feature for yourself. Message Log Search is now available through the Postini service administration console to Postini and Google Apps Premier Edition customers.<br /><br />For more information on Google Postini Services, please visit <a href="//www.google.com/postini/index.html#utm_campaign=en&utm_source=en-blog-na-us-log_search&utm_medium=blog&utm_term=enterprise_blog">www.google.com/postini</a>.<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Note:</span> Message Log Search data is managed and stored in Google datacenters pursuant to the privacy and data confidentiality provisions spelled out in our customer agreements.

With the Message Log Search feature, email administrators can now easily run searches on these logs and drill down to the details about how specific messages were processed.<br /><br />For example, admins can view the disposition of messages, such as whether a message or group of messages was delivered, quarantined, archived, or encrypted.<br /><br />Say an admin was checking the delivery status of all inbound emails from Matthew Smith:<div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="//1.bp.blogspot.com/_jSdgG4-DeNE/S2sILbay9bI/AAAAAAAAAPw/kvz_pehtKuw/s1600-h/LogSearchQuery-edited2.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5434446367784367538" src="//1.bp.blogspot.com/_jSdgG4-DeNE/S2sILbay9bI/AAAAAAAAAPw/kvz_pehtKuw/s400/LogSearchQuery-edited2.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 141px;"></a><br />Message Log Search returns results which include who received the message, date/time, disposition, and more.

For example, Dave Lugo at Affiliated Computer Systems is "very happy" that Message Log Search helps him track errant emails and easily resolve the "they didn't get it / we didn't get it" tickets he receives from his users. Joe Stark at HeidelbergCement uses log searching to "proactively search for problem senders" and block them entirely from his network.<br /><br />Other customers have found that the Message Log Search interface is "very fast and responsive," and helps them to determine the effectiveness of new content policies and gain insight into traffic patterns across their organization.<br /><br />These are a few examples that illustrate the flexibility and power of Message Log Search, and starting today, you can try the feature for yourself. Message Log Search is now available through the Postini service administration console to Postini and Google Apps Premier Edition customers.<br /><br />For more information on Google Postini Services, please visit <a href="//www.google.com/postini/index.html#utm_campaign=en&utm_source=en-blog-na-us-log_search&utm_medium=blog&utm_term=enterprise_blog">www.google.com/postini</a>.<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Note:</span> Message Log Search data is managed and stored in Google datacenters pursuant to the privacy and data confidentiality provisions spelled out in our customer agreements.

We tweak our maps each year, based on student and teacher experience, but communicating these changes to our 800 teachers has always been a logistical nightmare. Even though we have a web based mapping system, our faculty often worked from old copies printed in binders. For most teachers this was the easiest way to work and there wasn't a compelling value add from the old mapping system to change their practice. Google Apps has added this incentive by helping us create a space that is collaborative, purposeful, and always current. The result is a change that has connected our teachers to the map and each other.</span><br /><br />Clarkstown Central School District is a central district pulling students from several communities located 20 miles north of New York City. We have 14 schools, ranging from kindergarten to twelfth grade, employ roughly 1700 people, and educate nearly 10,000 students. The district has made a recent commitment to prepare our students for the technology rich future they will inherit. We decided that Google Apps would be a key tool to leverage this goal. We wanted to extend past the tech savvy and tech willing teachers, to the users who would not be your typical technology teachers. We needed buy-in from teachers and administrators to make sure a roll out of this scale would be successful.<br /><br />With this in mind, we decided to use something of real value to our community - in our case, a curriculum resource portal that was created with Google – as the first step in transitioning toward a new technology platform.<br /><br />We introduced Google Calendar first because it was easiest for the majority of users to understand. The big desk planners teachers are familiar with do not facilitate collaboration with colleagues and can only be used when you're literally standing in front of them. Google Calendar solved these common teacher problems.<br /><br />We also created centrally controlled calendars that teachers could add to their own, making life easier. Then, we created curriculum scope and sequence calendars. This let, say, a 5th grade teacher turn on the curriculum calendars and plan lessons for the month based on where they should be in the curriculum. Clicking on a curriculum event provides and overview of the content and a link to the resource site page for that unit.<br /><br />Each curriculum area for each grade level has a resource site organized by unit. The unit pages are linked to the appropriate calendar events in Google Calendar. These pages display the curriculum which is fed directly from the mapping software. The pages also organize links, documents, and other resources. Some documents are shared across multiple grades and units from Docs. When the original is changed, each linked unit updates automatically. Other sites are created to support professional development in the district.<br /><br />Most importantly, teachers are now creating unit plans and other resources collaboratively using Apps; these contributions are also shared in the resource sites.<br /><br />So far, the project has been a resounding success. We started with the elementary curriculum and will be expanding the project to the secondary grades this year. The initiative has "won over" our administrators and teachers. Our faculty is more connected to the curriculum than they have ever been. The work we have done has inspired many of our teachers to bring Google Apps into their teaching. In response to this enthusiasm, we are introducing our Student Apps portal this Fall. </span></div><div style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><div dir="ltr"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></span></div></span></div><div style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;">If you'd like to hear more about how K-12 school districts like Clarkstown Central are using Google Apps to save IT resources and encourage district-wide collaboration, please <a title="join us at this upcoming webinar" target="_blank" href="https://googleonline.webex.com/googleonline/onstage/g.php?t=a&d=575589814#utm_campaign=en&utm_medium=entblog&utm_source=en-entblog-na-us_q309" id="sz7u">join us at this upcoming webinar</a>:</span></div><span style="font-family: arial;font-size:100%;" ><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><a id="xrrm" href="https://googleonline.webex.com/googleonline/onstage/g.php?t=a&d=575589814#utm_campaign=en&utm_medium=entblog&utm_source=en-entblog-na-us_q309" target="_blank" title="Google Apps Education Edition at Maine Township High School District">Google Apps Education Edition at Maine Township High School District</a><br />Tuesday, October 6, 2009<br />11:00 a.m. PDT (GMT -07:00, San Francisco)<br /><br />Have questions for the Maine Township and Google Apps teams? <a id="sv.q" href="http://moderator.appspot.com/#16/e=cdd2b" target="_blank" title="Submit your questions">Submit them here<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span class="Apple-style-span">.</span></span></a><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br />Posted by Dana Nguyen, Google Apps Education Edition team<br /><br />Learn more about what's possible for your school with <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><a title="Google Apps Education Edition" target="_blank" href="//www.google.com/a/help/intl/en/edu/alloftheabove.html#utm_campaign=en&utm_medium=entblog&utm_source=en-entblog-na-us_q309" id="s:ta"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;">Google Apps Education Edition</span></a>.<br /></span></span></div></span></span> </script> <noscript> <span style="font-family: arial;font-size:100%;" ><b><i>Editor's Note: </i></b><i>We're pleased to welcome John Calvert, Technology Learning Facilitator and Google Certified Teacher from Clarkstown Central School District, as our guest blogger today.

For most teachers this was the easiest way to work and there wasn't a compelling value add from the old mapping system to change their practice. Google Apps has added this incentive by helping us create a space that is collaborative, purposeful, and always current. The result is a change that has connected our teachers to the map and each other.</span><br /><br />Clarkstown Central School District is a central district pulling students from several communities located 20 miles north of New York City. We have 14 schools, ranging from kindergarten to twelfth grade, employ roughly 1700 people, and educate nearly 10,000 students. The district has made a recent commitment to prepare our students for the technology rich future they will inherit. We decided that Google Apps would be a key tool to leverage this goal. We wanted to extend past the tech savvy and tech willing teachers, to the users who would not be your typical technology teachers. We needed buy-in from teachers and administrators to make sure a roll out of this scale would be successful.<br /><br />With this in mind, we decided to use something of real value to our community - in our case, a curriculum resource portal that was created with Google – as the first step in transitioning toward a new technology platform.<br /><br />We introduced Google Calendar first because it was easiest for the majority of users to understand. The big desk planners teachers are familiar with do not facilitate collaboration with colleagues and can only be used when you're literally standing in front of them. Google Calendar solved these common teacher problems.<br /><br />We also created centrally controlled calendars that teachers could add to their own, making life easier. Then, we created curriculum scope and sequence calendars. This let, say, a 5th grade teacher turn on the curriculum calendars and plan lessons for the month based on where they should be in the curriculum. Clicking on a curriculum event provides and overview of the content and a link to the resource site page for that unit.<br /><br />Each curriculum area for each grade level has a resource site organized by unit. The unit pages are linked to the appropriate calendar events in Google Calendar. These pages display the curriculum which is fed directly from the mapping software. The pages also organize links, documents, and other resources. Some documents are shared across multiple grades and units from Docs. When the original is changed, each linked unit updates automatically. Other sites are created to support professional development in the district.<br /><br />Most importantly, teachers are now creating unit plans and other resources collaboratively using Apps; these contributions are also shared in the resource sites.<br /><br />So far, the project has been a resounding success. We started with the elementary curriculum and will be expanding the project to the secondary grades this year. The initiative has "won over" our administrators and teachers. Our faculty is more connected to the curriculum than they have ever been. The work we have done has inspired many of our teachers to bring Google Apps into their teaching. In response to this enthusiasm, we are introducing our Student Apps portal this Fall. </span></div><div style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><div dir="ltr"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></span></div></span></div><div style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;">If you'd like to hear more about how K-12 school districts like Clarkstown Central are using Google Apps to save IT resources and encourage district-wide collaboration, please <a title="join us at this upcoming webinar" target="_blank" href="https://googleonline.webex.com/googleonline/onstage/g.php?t=a&d=575589814#utm_campaign=en&utm_medium=entblog&utm_source=en-entblog-na-us_q309" id="sz7u">join us at this upcoming webinar</a>:</span></div><span style="font-family: arial;font-size:100%;" ><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><a id="xrrm" href="https://googleonline.webex.com/googleonline/onstage/g.php?t=a&d=575589814#utm_campaign=en&utm_medium=entblog&utm_source=en-entblog-na-us_q309" target="_blank" title="Google Apps Education Edition at Maine Township High School District">Google Apps Education Edition at Maine Township High School District</a><br />Tuesday, October 6, 2009<br />11:00 a.m. PDT (GMT -07:00, San Francisco)<br /><br />Have questions for the Maine Township and Google Apps teams?

I'm here with Arron Privatsky, System Administrator for Serena. Serena is a leading provider of software to accelerate application development. Because we are software experts, it’s no surprise that we are always looking for the best solutions.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-size:100%;">For us, it was becoming increasingly clear that our messaging infrastructure was lacking. Inbox storage space was a constant complaint. Server maintenance was extremely time-consuming, and backups were inconsistent. Then we found that – calculating additional licenses of Microsoft Exchange, client access licenses for users, disaster recovery software, and additional disk storage space to increase mailbox quotas to 1.5GB – staying with our existing provider would have cost us upwards of $1 million. That was a nearly impossible number to justify with executives.<br /><br />We thought about replacing our on-premise solution, but to tell the truth, we were skeptical. I, personally, had been a Microsoft admin for 15 years, and Microsoft technologies were ingrained in my thought processes. But Google Apps provided many pluses: Gmail, Google’s Postini messaging security software and 25 GB of mailbox space, as well as greater uptime and 24/7 phone support.<br /></span></p><p style="margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Apps also offered reliable mobile access and included other Google productivity and collaboration applications, such as Google Docs for word processing, spreadsheets and presentations – all at $50 per user per year. The cost savings would amount to a whopping $750,000 per year. All this added up to the ability to save the company money and to transition to a more advanced, flexible infrastructure.<br /><br />Once we selected Google Apps, we decided on a “Big Bang” migration. Employees would switch over on their own, migrating their old emails to Gmail if they chose to, or simply starting with a clean inbox. We did not support local email clients, opting to support only the Gmail web interface through Mozilla Firefox to best accommodate the company's mixed Linux, Mac and PC environment.<br /></span></p><p style="margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size:100%;">We also enlisted four small groups of early adopters who would try the Google solution first, and then assist IT and support their peers during the full-scale migration. We used a lot of Google’s existing support documents to help us during the migration.<br /><br />The overall move to Google Apps took all of six hours. We waited for the phones to ring, but all we heard was silence – in fact, we sat there playing meebo for quite a while – and still, nothing happened.

I'm here with Arron Privatsky, System Administrator for Serena. Serena is a leading provider of software to accelerate application development. Because we are software experts, it’s no surprise that we are always looking for the best solutions.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-size:100%;">For us, it was becoming increasingly clear that our messaging infrastructure was lacking. Inbox storage space was a constant complaint. Server maintenance was extremely time-consuming, and backups were inconsistent. Then we found that – calculating additional licenses of Microsoft Exchange, client access licenses for users, disaster recovery software, and additional disk storage space to increase mailbox quotas to 1.5GB – staying with our existing provider would have cost us upwards of $1 million. That was a nearly impossible number to justify with executives.<br /><br />We thought about replacing our on-premise solution, but to tell the truth, we were skeptical. I, personally, had been a Microsoft admin for 15 years, and Microsoft technologies were ingrained in my thought processes. But Google Apps provided many pluses: Gmail, Google’s Postini messaging security software and 25 GB of mailbox space, as well as greater uptime and 24/7 phone support.<br /></span></p><p style="margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Apps also offered reliable mobile access and included other Google productivity and collaboration applications, such as Google Docs for word processing, spreadsheets and presentations – all at $50 per user per year. The cost savings would amount to a whopping $750,000 per year. All this added up to the ability to save the company money and to transition to a more advanced, flexible infrastructure.<br /><br />Once we selected Google Apps, we decided on a “Big Bang” migration. Employees would switch over on their own, migrating their old emails to Gmail if they chose to, or simply starting with a clean inbox. We did not support local email clients, opting to support only the Gmail web interface through Mozilla Firefox to best accommodate the company's mixed Linux, Mac and PC environment.<br /></span></p><p style="margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size:100%;">We also enlisted four small groups of early adopters who would try the Google solution first, and then assist IT and support their peers during the full-scale migration. We used a lot of Google’s existing support documents to help us during the migration.<br /><br />The overall move to Google Apps took all of six hours. We waited for the phones to ring, but all we heard was silence – in fact, we sat there playing meebo for quite a while – and still, nothing happened. We cut the cord all in one stroke to avoid the hassle of living in two environments at once. We made the switch globally, all in one day – and, due to the advantages of this cloud computing solution, we’ve never looked back.<br /></span> </p> <p style="margin-right: 0px; margin-left: 0px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size:100%;"> I expect that what I am saying is probably setting off a lot of questions in your head.
