Google Apps Solutions Directory
-
Over the past several months, ASCII has been working with
Google on several different initiatives to help promote the value of resellers
and solution providers to their SMB businesses.
Based on those discussions and Google’s attendance at our
regional tech meetings in the U.S.,
ASCII has successfully negotiated an opportunity for each ASCII member to be
listed in the Google Apps Solution Gallery under the ASCII moniker and Portal.
Needless to say, companies that are listed on our directory,
which is localized, are being seen by thousands of local businesses that are
looking for both local IT sales and support AND/OR alternatives in online
collaboration software solutions using Google Apps. As an ASCII member, you will stand out with your in depth
profile as the most experienced IT consultant given the brand position Google
is providing ASCII with this program.
See a live example here, http://www.google.com/enterprise/gallery/apps/smallbiz_services.html,
on how exciting this lead generation program is. In January, the UK, Northern Ireland,
India and Canada are
being added.
This portal is linked in many separate pages throughout the
Google Apps Solutions areas, including
schools, homes and larger businesses as well as SMB where end-users are
“looking for professional help”.
NEXT STEPS:
- Fill
out your required profile that will be a full listing on the Portal (in
addition to live links to your web site). ASCII will then perform the
required background checks to make sure you have the professional quality
and business success that is required by all ASCII members. http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=0mMLPfdVJEX7Dz307N5Qiw_3d_3d
- Fill
in the required credit card information.
The cost for a one year membership as an international ASCII member
is only 195. Euros or 145 GBP(British Pound). For those VARs located
in India,
the cost is a special membership $145 USD.
- You
will hear back from us within 21 days whether you have been approved and
you will be listed within shortly thereafter. You credit card will only be charged if
you have been approved for membership.
-
You agree that if approved as an international ASCII Group member, you
will abide by our code of ethics published on ascii.com and you agree to keep
your listing up to date at all times, including your live links to your
profile. If you are also a member of a European association, we will endeavor
to work with that association to coordinate this program, as a member benefit
of that association, and others that may be available to you. While ASCII Group
owns the software and content that is the ASCII Group portal that you will be
listed on, we can not guarantee that Google may not change its web pages,
change or discontinue the format or otherwise modify any part of all of the
existing Google Apps program or products. Once approved, your ASCII membership
is ongoing and will automatically renew on a yearly basis and we expect you
will find great value to your listing and any other programs that may be
available to you. You may cancel at any time by emailing info@ascii.com with your
request to cancel. The first year’s listing fee and membership is, however,
non-refundable.
