Google Software-as-a-Service specialist, Appogee, has announced the launch of its global Appogee Partner Program to coincide with Google Global Partner Summit in Mountain View.

The Appogee Partner Program will help existing Google Apps resellers build sustainable and profitable business through the sales of Appogee products.

Appogee currently offers three application subscription services which integrate with Google Apps for Business:

Appogee Leave is the number 1 absence management solution for Google Apps, and helps your employees, managers and HR professionals keep track of and manage personal time off, holiday and sickness requests and approvals from any device at any time.

Appogee Signatures is a centralised Gmail signature management tool that gives you the ability to stay in control of your domain wide signatures and ensure your employees signatures adhere to company policy.

Cloud Skills Academy is an e-learning and end- support portal for Google Apps. It trains new users in their first days moving to Google Apps. A Chrome extension educates users about new functionality as it is released in Google Apps. The Cloud Skills Academy reduces employees' reliance on help desk support by promoting self-help.

The Appogee Partner program offers resellers attractive margins on both initial sales and ongoing contract renewals, a deal registration process for reseller protection, sales support, seven or fourteen day end-user trials and internal use licenses for demonstrations.

David McLeman, CEO of Appogee commented:  “Businesses want to provide employees with simple and effective tools to improve productivity. The close integration of Appogee applications with Google Apps allows a Marketing Director to protect their brand with consistent email signatures or an HR Director to manage time off approvals and reporting across their organisation. Our products are a perfect fit for organisations which have gone Google, from small startups to large multinationals.  Our new Appogee Partner Program allows Google Apps Resellers to extend their solution offering for their customers.”
