SADA CEO Featured in ChannelWeb Piece

SADA Systems, Inc.'s President and CEO, Tony Safoian, was featured in a Channel Web story Friday highlighting progress to date of Google's Reseller Program for Google Apps.

SADA was one of the first ten partners at launch of Google Apps and has remained a significant player in the space, through its experience and continual feedback working with Google to contribute to the development of the Google Apps partner channel.

Safoian told ChannelWeb correspondent Scott Campbell that Google has "done a tremendous job of not only continuing to streamline the actual mechanics of how it works, but in communicating the value proposition for resellers. They understand more the managed services model. The introduction of Google Apps into our services offering is not going to cannibalize what we do but enhance our business," said Safoian. "It's fair to say we've learned a lot from one another. They have always been receptive to feedback. They never pretended to know all the answers."

In his piece Campbell makes the point Google's view is that managed service providers such as SADA are likely a better fit for the reseller role than strictly product focused resale organizations. Campbell states that MSPs' tendency to have longer term relationships with clients goes towards more likely success in their channel.

Tony Safoian Goes to Phoenix and Las Vegas for AngelBeat

Next week SADA Systems, Inc. president and CEO, Tony Safoian, will travel to Phoenix and Las Vegas to take part in Angelbeat. Angelbeat is a series of conferences that focus on major topics in Information Technology. Each year's event includes a tour of major U.S. cities. Tours like this mean that Information Technology professionals from all over the country may attend a nearby event, which saves on travel. Professionals may also attend an event that fits their schedule, rather than fitting their schedule to an event.

This year marks the tenth anniversary of the annual tour. Topics under discussion in this year's tour include security, infrastructure, and networks. Angelbeat tours provide a unique opportunity for information technology professionals to meet and exchange ideas and information. Professionals come to the conference from a wide range of disciplines including IT directors, network and telecom managers, infrastructure architects, and security analysts.

Tony will be attending the event and offering a presentation on a revolution in Information Technology, computing in the cloud. Tony will discuss a change in how we think about computing. Instead of buying and installing expensive hardware, then paying high prices for software licenses required to create a traditional client-server model, computing resources will be provided remotely. The evolution of this concept can be likened the development of electricity, from something that industry used to have to supply on their own, to a service provided by a utility company. SADA Systems has become proficient in providing clients with leading hosted solutions provided by Google. To learn more about Google Apps Solutions provided by SADA click one of the links below:
