| Brand Awareness
"It’s hard to find customers who don’t understand what Google
does for the internet. So when we demonstrate that we can take that
same Google experience and apply it to documents and data behind
the firewall, customers say ‘Great.’ We can give our employees a
very productive tool that they already know how to use and are happy
with."
- Michael Cizmar, President, MC+A,

| Business Features
"The Google Search Appliance has such strong reporting capabilities
that it can become a major supplement to any intranet portal. You
can type in a name to search, and it will read that person’s Microsoft
Outlook schedule, so suddenly you have a company directory. Or you
can write a script to bring up a customer’s current balance when
you search for that customer’s name. You can see how often people
are looking for documents, and you can define searches based on
what others are looking for."
- Mike Healey, CTO, GreenPages Technology

Big Opportunities
"Imagine being able to find information in a network that was
previously hiding. We think Google Search is a big opportunity for
the channel, and Ingram Micro is helping to make that opportunity
a reality. Search solutions have been so unwieldy and so expensive
in the past, but now customers are saying, ‘I can really see search
helping me.’ We see Google Search as part of almost every integrated
IT solution we are offering now."
- Bill Cassidy, Vice President of
Technology, IT Partners, Phoenix, Ariz. |
