Oregon Department of Education Empowers Student/Teacher Collaboration with Google Apps
Wednesday, April 28th - Today the Oregon Department of Education became the first in the country to announce that it will begin offering Google Apps to all public school districts in the state.
Individual schools migrating to Google Apps are hardly new. SADA has assisted numerous schools, at every level of education, with switching their email and collaboration to Google Apps. What distinguishes this switch is the scope. The Oregon Department of Education will be opening Google Apps for Education to public schools throughout the state.
Although Google and the Oregon Department of Education signed a five-year deal for the program, school participation has not been mandated. Schools in districts throughout the state may participate on a voluntary basis, and discontinue use of Google Apps for Education at any time, for any reason.
The announcement heralds a tremendous and unprecedented step toward integrating technology with the classroom, and providing students, teachers, and parents with a powerful collaboration resource. Students in Oregon elementary, middle, and high schools will be able to work with each other on class projects, in real time, and they will have the ability to collaborate with their teachers and receive valuable input on their work. Students and teachers will also be able to make use of Google Apps create websites, communicate through email and groups, and access their work from any location.
In the wake of funding problems and a worsening financial outlook, the move to Google Apps also promises to save the school district a significant sum of money. "This move is going to save the Department of Education $1.5 million per year," writes Jaime Casap, the Google Apps Education manager. This level of savings promises to be a tremendous boon to the department's ailing budget.

Get a new secretary? Get married? Get divorced? Company change its policy or brand? Regardless you need to change your email! User Renamer allows Google Apps admins to quickly and easily change usernames/names of Google Apps users.
The process for changing your email in the past has been compared to changing your name on a legal document such as your birth certificate or passport with regards to difficulty.
Our view is your email should not be that hard. Hence we built the User Renamer for Google Apps. User Renamer is a simple and intuitive tool enabling Google Apps Admins to rename users quickly.
Prior to our tool the process was length and cumbersome: backup Google Docs, export calendar items, export contacts, download email messages, create new account, import Google Docs, import calendar items, import contacts, re-download email messages and finally delete old account.
Now it's more like changing the name on your restaurant reservation except you don't even need to call the restaurant, just download the User Renamer for Google Apps and enter your old username, enter your new usename, done. Google Apps even keeps your old username as a nickname, so you will continue receiving messages sent to your old email address.
User Renamer for Google Apps is easy to install, comes with built in scalability, performance, and the reliability and security of Google's infrastructure. The app is fully functional with single sign-on (SSO) and is centrally administered from the Google Apps control panel. During the renaming process, the old username is retained as a nickname, allowing all correspondences sent to the old name to be received by the new username. Furthermore username, login and email addresses are automatically synced with the changes made through User Renamer for Google Apps. The seamless integration of this app into Google's universal navigation links further enhances the ability of users and admins to better handle the unpredictable situations that require a username switch including accidental typos in email setup, marriage and changes in company policy regarding uniformity of email addresses.
The lack of a witty title for this article speaks to shear practicality of the topic at hand. Google's recent step forward to level the playing field within applications with regards to saving your work.
There is nothing witty about the feature itself. This simple brilliance has become a simple expectation that we can save our work when we want, it automatically saves if we don't, and it saves us from saving our work by subtly notifying us that is currently being saved.
Did you follow? Good.
Google is taking this saving functionality with its new 'saved' - 'saving' - 'save' buttons and sharing it. So the convenient and at times life saving feature currently available in Google Docs and Google Presentations is now expected to make its debut in Google Sheets.
Hats off to Google for leveling the playing field among its applications. We love the comfort of the save feature and we now love that we will soon be able to use it in Google Sheets and other applications too.
Can't wait to see the next feature they roll out with. This saving feature is coming soon to a Google Sheet near you.
Forrester Research Inc. Shares the Love - It MUST be Valentine's
We are touched.
Forrester, in their January 5th 2010 issue, did a few pages on SasS but more specifically the several types of system integrators offering skills in SaaS from small specialists, to offshore Firms and MNCs.
Under the subheading "SaaS Specialist firms" Forrester discusses Google, and "its increasingly popular Google Apps offering, [which] has attracted the attention of specialists like...SADA Systems."
Here @SADASystems we are thrilled that Forrester, a top Forbes 200 -Fastest Growing Company for five consecutive years, noticed our hard work and pursuit of perfection and client satisfaction. We greatly appreciated the mention as a Google Apps Specialist and felt the love.
As a privately held information technology consulting, outsourcing, and development firm approaching our 10th birthday, we are grateful to have started out as a Google Partner for Google's search technology and proud to be one of the world's first 10 Google Partners for Apps.
We only strive to give Forrester more to write about.
Google has done little if any mass media advertising so that is why it was both interesting and exciting to see the company touting it's search services in their first ever commercial during Super Bowl XLIV.
The ad, Parisian Love, was originally created as a video success story for Google Search. First released last fall the spot, which tells the story of a long distance romance via various Google Search efforts, was so warmly received that Google decided to share it with the Super Bowl audience, according to a blog post by Google CEO Eric Schmidt. Even Schmidt acknowledged how unusual it was to see a Google TV commercial when he tweeted "Hell has indeed frozen over."
Doodle 4 Google is a competition aimed at inspiring K-12 students to express their artistic creativities to help create new logos for Googles infamous changing logo. This years competition is aspirationally themed "If I Could Do Anything, I Would..."
The theme itself makes us feel 10 years old all over again. We are looking forward to the entries which should at very least be endearing, genuine, and inspiring to all of us. As a matter of fact we would love to see an album of all submissions!
The panel of judges assembled to critique and select the winners represent an impressive range of talent from well-known illustrators from The Sesame Street Workshop, Dr. Seuss Enterprises, The Charles Shulz/Peanuts Museum and Pixar Studios. However, for the lucky 40 that make it past these judges they will get the honor of being in the presence of the talent that selected them.
Registration for the contest closes at noon PST on March 17th, 2010 and entries are due by noon at the end of that month. The winning picture will grace Google.com on May 27th.
Delegation and Single Sign On supported in latest version of Google Apps Sync for Outlook
Google's latest release, Version 1.7, of their Apps Sync tool for Microsoft Outlook increases it's capabilities with new features.
Single Sign On is now supported by Google Apps Sync for Outlook. "When you log in, you have the option to log in with your Google Apps account and password, or instead use your company's SSO authentication if they have enabled that option." (Google)
Now when you delegate your email and calendar in Google Apps, the person you delegated to has the ability to handle messages, calendar events, answer emails, and create and respond to invitations on your behalf, all from Microsoft's Outlook client.
King Abdullah University of Science and Technology:
Google Apps and Microsoft Exchange -Partial Migration and Coexistence Success Story
One of the first 10 Google Apps for Enterprise partners worldwide and initial contributor to the Google Apps Open Source provisioning tool kit, SADA Systems, Inc., has developed a proven track record in successful implementations of Google Apps solutions for the higher education market. We at SADA work closely with our clients to create custom, leading edge solutions that strategically meet their business and institutional objectives.
SADA has also worked hard to earn and maintain our distinction as a Microsoft Gold Certified partner since 2003. As a Microsoft Gold Certified partner, SADA has helped numerous businesses, from SMBs to enterprise, deploy leading Microsoft solutions in their organizations. SADA stays current with Microsoft products and licenses to ensure that our clients have the best possible solutions for their business.
Jumping oceans, bridging the cultural divide, and working to advance the Cloud frontier, this is how we do IT. This was the opportunity at hand for SADA; to help implement the systems that would advance collaboration for the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in Saudi Arabia (KAUST).
KAUST officially opened in September of 2009. It's opening represented the culmination of a decades long vision of King Abdullah Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud to create an international community of scholars dedicated to advanced science. KAUST is a graduate-level research university dedicated to pursuing research focused in four key areas:
Resources, Energy and Environment
Biosciences and Bioengineering
Materials Science and Engineering
Applied Mathematics and Computational Science
Challenges:
KAUST did not initially have an email hosting infrastructure in place. To address this KAUST had set up Google Apps, which was in place at the start of the project. After their datacenter was built, Exchange 2007 servers were deployed. As a result staff accounts needed to be moved to Exchange, while student accounts needed to remain in Google Apps.
The new datacenter infrastructure included both Exchange and Active Directory, so faculty and staff user accounts needed to be integrated into the solution. KAUST policy required MX record to point to Exchange. In order to allow two email systems to co-exist, dual delivery had to be configured on Exchange.
With less than a month till the official opening, the changeover of the MX record could not allow for any of the vast quantities of important high-level emails being exchanged to go missing.
Lastly, KAUST presented us with the following requirements:
Every account that was created in Google must exist in Exchange.
Every email sent to the domain must get delivered to both Exchange users as well as Google Apps users.
Emails sent to distribution lists must reach intended recipients.
Exchange users needed to be notified of their login credentials.
Solution:
Given the number of challenges the SADA Team faced on this particular project our Senior Solutions and Systems Engineers took the following steps to ensure both quality of timely service and successful implementation:
Utilized Google's GDATA API and PowerShell scripts to ensure that all of the existing Google Apps accounts were created in Active Directory,
Incorporated PowerShell to create mailboxes for Staff and mail-enabled accounts for Students,
Provided external SMTP addresses that pointed Mail-enabled Student accounts to Google,
Applied custom script for the contact cards we created for KAUST faculty and staff in order to set up forwarding to these cards. Hence Exchange contact cards created in this way were given external SMTP addresses that also pointed to Google,
Calibrated the GDATA API to retrieve the list of Google groups, its members, and permissions in conjunction with PowerShell to create distribution groups in Active Directory, contacts for external recipients, and to add members,
Collaborated worked with KAUST to create a catch-all mailbox to capture any messages sent to email addresses that don't exist in Exchange. This checks and balance allowed us to catch any account we might have overlooked when setting up Active Directory, *After reviewing messages captured in the catch-all account, we discovered that several Google users had nicknames that needed to be added to their Exchange account as additional email addresses,
Configured the SPF record to include both Google and Exchange,
Post completing the MX crossover, an issue with delivery receipts was discovered. Based on recommendations in a Microsoft blog post, we implemented a new transport agent, which resolved the issue,
Implemented dynamic distribution groups to mimic permissions available in Google groups,
Removed authentication requirement to allow external users to send to distribution lists,
Automated the manual account creation and activation of dual delivery in Active Directory for new Staff and Students via PowerShell scripts given the time intensive set-up, and...
Generated random passwords for all faculty and staff user which then automatically reset the user's password and sent an email to the user with their new Active Directory password via a Powershell script.
Result...
With SADA's assistance and the implementation of best-of-breed utilities for the deployment of Microsoft Exchange with dual delivery to Google Apps, King Abdullah University of Science and Technology was able to smoothly and effectively implement Microsoft Exchange accounts for their faculty and staff, while maintaining Google Apps accounts for their students. SADA was able to meet the needs and satisfy the requirements of KAUST in a timely manner, that allowed the university to open with their fully functioning email plan in place.
SADA Brings Google Apps to Wireless Pioneer LCC International
As one of the first 10 Google Apps for Enterprise partners worldwide, and an initial contributor to the Google Apps Open Source provisioning toolkit, SADA Systems, Inc. has developed a proven track record in the implementation of Google Apps solutions. SADA works with a diverse client base to create custom, leading-edge solutions that strategically meet client business objectives.
A pioneer in the wireless industry since 1983, LCC International has performed technical services for the largest wireless operators in North and South America, Europe, The Middle East, Africa and Asia. LCC has participated in the success of some of the largest and most sophisticated wireless systems in the world, having worked with all major access technologies, including UMTS, EV-DO, HSDPA, and WiMAX.
Challenges
LCC needed to deploy Google Apps for all of their employees. This included offices both inside and outside the U.S. The total number of users who would be moved over to Google Apps was over 1,100, with most of those employees using various mobile devices. To achieve a successful Google Apps Implementation would require:
SADA deploying dual delivery during the transition period to guarantee email delivery to both MS Exchange 2003 and Google Apps for all users.
SADA and LCC migrating email data from LCC International's existing, on-premise MS Exchange 2003 system. This included a 250 GB mail store shared by all LCC employees.
User provisioning and synchronization of all employee accounts and credentials that were managed through Microsoft Active Directory.
Preservation of existing LCC distribution lists.
Either before or after migration, SADA and LCC would also have to address the subject of training an entrenched workforce including techs who had become accustomed to working with the existing Exchange-based email solution.
Solution
SADA worked closely with LCC to develop a strategy for meeting the goals of the implementation. To meet the needs of LCC's users, SADA worked closely with their IT department to implement Google Apps. Solutions deployed at LCC include:
Email migration and contact sharing in between Google Apps and the identity management system in place at LCC.
Set up the Gmail list tool to maintain distribution lists managed by LCC.
Deployed Enhanced Dual Delivery to maintain messages sent to both accounts (Exchange and Gmail) during the transition period.
Conducted extensive online training via webinars for employees on five continents.
Transitioned LCC International's 1,100 employees to Google Apps from their previous MS Exchange-based system.
Results
With SADA's assistance, extensive collaboration with the LCC sponsor and champion, and the implementation of best-of-breed utilities for the deployment of Google Apps, LCC International was able to smoothly and effectively implement Google Apps for their managers and employees. This implementation of Google Apps allowed LCC International to decommission their existing Microsoft Exchange email system, while continuing to provide their users with email and collaboration services. As a result of the implementation of Google Apps, the client has experienced an increase in productivity from their field-based workers.
"Shortly after we started looking at Google Apps, LCC was introduced to SADA by Google, who noted they had been working closely with SADA since the initial launch of Google Apps," commented John Buckholz, LCC's VP of Information Technology. "The success of LCC's implementation was largely due to SADA's expertise with the Google Apps platform combined with their experience...successfully migrating other large Google customers. We completed the project on time and within budget, with no major surprises along the way. After the implementation, SADA continued to support LCCI's IT team until we were comfortable with the technical and administrative aspects of the new platform."
Are you a Gmail Ninja? Check out the new Gmail Tips to find out.
At the time of its release, and even to this day, Gmail challenged the way people thought about web-based email. When it was made available to the general public on February 7th, 2007, Gmail differed from other services like Yahoo Mail and MSN Hotmail in a number of ways:
Email messages are arranged into threads called 'conversations.' Rather than organizing email sequentially by date, by sender, or by subject.
The storage capacity of Gmail in its original closed beta was 1GB at a time when the most you could get from competing services of 2-4MB.
Spam filtering in Gmail was community driven. This helps Gmail as a whole learn to filter similar messages for all users, not just user who marks a message as spam.
From the start Gmail was heavily search-oriented. Google used their own search technology to allow Gmail users to search their inbox for messages.
Today Gmail has well over 100 million users. Now Google is asking those users, "Are you using everything Gmail has to offer?" From the days of the original closed beta Google has continued to improve on what was already an innovative system. Many users aren't aware of everything Gmail can do for them. To help educate the masses, and undoubtedly to help drive up the number of people adopting Gmail, Google has created a fun guide to many of the features in Gmail. Gmail tips is a link located at the top of your Gmail inbox.
That link leads you to a page where Google provides a guide to "Become a Gmail Ninja." The different features in Gmail are divided into four levels:
White Belt: Includes basic features like how to use stars to mark a note as special, how to reply by chat, and how to organize email using Gmail's label system. Each rank is also divided by how much email a person deals with in a day. The typical Gmail White Belt is a user who only gets a few emails a day, and maybe only uses Gmail as an alternate email solution.
Green Belt: Covers more advanced features like using Google video chat in Gmail, adding filters to incoming mail, and adding the forgotten attachment detector available in labs (and my favorite Gmail gadget by far). The typcial Gmail Green Belt is a user who gets a moderate amount of email every day and/or uses Gmail as their exclusive mail system.
Black Belt: At the Black Belt level the Google guide goes over speeding up Gmail through keyboard shortcuts, filtering email with personalized email addresses, and setting up canned responses (definitely a useful feature). The typical Gmail Black Belt is a user who is definitely using Gmail exclusively, and someone who deals with a lot of email messages every day.
The Master: A Gmail Master is someone who uses Google Docs and Google Calendar within Gmail, can sign out of their account remotely if it is left open on a public computer, and has personalized RSS feeds in web clips. Like the Black Belt the Gmail Master uses only Gmail as their email client, and they deal with a massive amount of email per day.
The features described at each level above are only a small sample of those offered by Gmail and Google Labs. To make it easier for the average user to choose the features they want, Google has published this guide online, and also made available a PDF version that users can print. Google also offers a laminated guide for $1.25. The laminated guide was given away for free to the first 1,024 (get it?) users to request a copy.

Collaboration Between Google and Adobe to Produce Search Engine Friendly Flash Content
Google and Adobe give a leg up to search engine optimization by making websites created in Flash more readily indexed by search engines.
One long standing hurdle in developing search engine friendly websites has been Flash development. Adobe's Flash tool set provides a set of utilities for creating dynamic, attractive, animated websites. Until very recently search engines could not index content in websites created using Flash. To address this problem, Google and Adobe are collaborating to improve the ability of search engines to 'read' website content contained in Flash files.
Adobe took the lead in making their Flash content more readily indexed by search engines last summer when they provided Google with their Flash technology. Last summer's hand off of Flash to Google was supplemented last week when Adobe established a new SEO Technology Center for Flash. The SEO Technology Center for Flash is a new website from Adobe that focuses on providing developers with informative and helpful articles for creating Flash websites. Articles posted to the website focus on techniques to make Flash websites better indexed by Google and other leading search engines.
What does this mean for you? As this collaboration between Google and Adobe bears fruit you will likely begin to see more sites developed exclusively in Flash among the top results of a search term in Google. If you are a developer or if you work in search engine optimization this will have a greater impact on you. If you are a web developer, you will likely be able to stop warning clients away from Flash development on those projects where SEO is a key component. If your work is primarily in search engine optimization, you will be able to extend your services to clients whose websites make use of components developed in Flash.
Facebook and Google launch competing identity services
If you're like most moderate-to-heavy Internet users, you probably have an account with Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter. You may also have a number of different online email accounts. Like most people you probably do some of your banking and shopping online. You may also be making use of online applications through service such as Google Apps or Zoho Office. All of these myriad services that are meant to make managing our lives and businesses more convenient have at least one thing in common; all of them require user authentication. This is usually managed with a username and password. Management of all of these user credentials can turn into an administrative nightmare for even the casual Internet user. Just trying to remember which password is associated with an account can be a real headache. In part to combat credential confusion Google and Facebook have launched competing projects that allow you to use one identity to log in to your account on any (participating) company's website.
Facebook's web 2.0 identity management product is called Facebook Connect, and went live on December 4th. The launch of Facebook Connect slightly edged out the launch of Google's competing product, Friend Connect by only a couple of hours. However, both services went live the same day, and they offer very similar benefits. Both services depend on web developers to add the web-based application to their website.
Facebook Connect offers the following advantages to companies or developers who implement Facebook's service on their websites:
Trusted authentication: Users can connect their Facebook account to a participating company or website using their Facebook credentials. Authentication permissions are controlled by the user.
Real identity: Facebook users represent themselves in the social network with their real names and real identities. With Facebook connect users connect their real identities to any participating website.
Friend Linking: Quite possibly the biggest benefit to using Facebook Connect is their enormous social component. Websites that add Facebook Connect will tap into an enormous potential audience/market through the Facebook community.
Google Friend Connect differs from Facebook Connect in that it's not linking to any single identity or community. Google Friend Connect offers the following benefits to anyone who adds this service to their existing website:
The websites to which Google Friend Connect may be added are not limited in any way. Google Friend Connect may be added to blogs, merchant sites, or mashups.
Adding Google Friend Connect does not require any programming. Friend Connect can be added by downloading two files which are then added to your web server. After that you may add gadgets to your website easily by picking the one you want, and inserting the code through easy copy and paste.
Google allows users to sign in using their credentials from an existing Google, Yahoo, or Open ID account.
What does this mean to you? Ultimately it could mean that you may only need one or two sets of credentials to do anything on the web. That depends heavily on the rate of adoption for these services. It also means that the web is going to 'go social' in a meaningful way. You may register with the website of a favorite restaurant using your Google Friend Connect or Facebook Connect credentials only to find that a lot of your friends have likewise signed up to receive updates from the same restaurant.
