IKANO Now Offers Referral Agent Program for Google Apps Partner
Edition
SALT LAKE CITY, UT, February 20, 2009 – IKANO
Communications Inc., the nation’s leading aggregator of
Internet related services for service providers, announced
today a new Referral Agent Program for Google Apps™
Partner Edition.
Now technical consultants and organizations can promote
Google Apps to Internet service providers (ISPs), broadband
service companies, wireless service providers (WISPs), fiber to
the premise providers (FTTP), cable companies,
municipalities, portal providers, or any other service organizations who offer email to their
customers. By referring business to the new program, agents can receive a portion of the yearly
revenue, without dealing with the hassles of typical reseller programs.
IKANO’s new program is simple. After approval into the Referral Agent Program, new agents can
market to their clients, and IKANO can track referrals through unique sales codes that it provides to
agents.
“The growth of Google Apps year over year is remarkable. Google Apps is leading the way to help
companies reduce costs to support email,” said George Naspo, IKANO CEO. “The new Referral
Agent Program is great for consultants who assist service providers with their technology decisions
in the U.S. and Canada. With the help of Referral Agents, the news of Google Apps Partner Edition
will spread.”
Many ISPs and service providers can see significant savings by migrating to Google Apps. With
today’s consumers moving toward netbooks and mobile devices, Google Apps offers a way to
communicate on these devices without any added costs. Google’s popular communications tools
such as Gmail™ email, Google Docs™ collaboration, Google Sites™, Google Calendar™ shared
calendaring, and Google Talk™ instant messaging are all part of Google Apps Partner Edition.
\"Google is excited to make even more service providers aware of the many benefits of Google
Apps. Now more residential end users will benefit from the advanced messaging and collaboration
tools offered as part of the Google Apps family. Coupled with Google's market leading service
reliability and the track record of fighting SPAM, Google Apps is an obvious choice to power
service providers' offerings,\" said Eugene Levitsky, Google's Head of Partner Edition Sales.
IKANO teamed up with Google in 2008.
