Make a fast switch to Google!

Rodrigo Vaca — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 17:04:00 +0000

At Google we know the importance of having a good enterprise search solution that helps people inside organizations find the information they're looking for. And of course, it's part of our mission to make sure every organization benefits from the best enterprise search experience.

Last week's developments in the enterprise search market are sure to bring confusion and uncertainty to many customers. Customers of existing enterprise search solutions will start wondering about the future of the investment they made in the past. Is their product still going to be developed and improved? What about support for a diverse enterprise IT landscape? How long before they're asked to do a painful -and costly- migration?

On the other side, customers of some content management systems just realized that an enterprise search "feature" - or an "express" product, for that matter - is just not enough. Good enterprise search requires a dedicated, specialized system that is secure, returns relevant results quickly, and most importantly, is able to find all content throughout the enterprise, regardless where it is located.

For those confused and concerned customers, Google has some exciting news. Today we're introducing the "Make a fast switch to Google" program. We are making it easy for customers to switch over to Google, the enterprise search solution with the best relevancy, user experience, security and easy of deployment. Learn more about why you should switch and the benefits we're offering to you.

Happy enterprise searching!

¡Hola! We're happy to announce that today we launched our Google Search Appliance and Google Mini products in Mexico. We have been getting requests from customers there for a long time. We're happy to finally say "Yes! It’s available in Mexico!”

Customers in Mexico can get the Google Enterprise search appliances through local companies like GT Consulting, MAR Consultoría, BearingPoint, Deloitte Consulting, Arteria Comunicaciones, Mobile Data, ParaByte, CasaMex and DELL.

In fact, we even got our first Google Enterprise Mexico customer a couple days before the actual launch: Grupo Sanborns. Grupo Sanborns is one of Mexico’s most important restaurant and retail chains. They’re deploying the appliances as I blog, and are ready to go live in the next day or so.

Isn’t that cool? They got the boxes only a few days ago!

Bom dia! A couple months ago we promised to enable more and more customers around the world to benefit from our enterprise search technologies.

Today we’re delivering another piece of that promise – and a big piece for that matter! We just launched Google Enterprise and announced immediate availability of our enterprise search products in Brazil. It was great to see the interest from customers and the press community alike.

For this launch we partnered with MUDE, BearingPoint, B2Bis, Added and Datacraft – great companies with lots of knowledge of the local market and customers. We’re very excited to have them on board helping customers with their enterprise search needs.

Now, if only the Google Search Appliance could help me find an excuse to make it to Rio around Carnival time… :)

Rob, we’re glad you had fun

Nothing makes us prouder than hearing about the experiences customers have with our products.

We just happened to notice a blog post by Rob, a webmaster in Steenwijk, Netherlands. In his post, Rob does a thorough review of his experience implementing a Google Mini for his website – everything from unpacking it, setting it up, to crawling and tweaking the results page UI. So if you’re curious about the Google Mini, we encourage you to read about Rob’s experience. My favorite line in the blog is the one that says: “The Google Mini really lives up to its expectations. It was great fun to do.”. Thanks Rob - that’s great to hear!

Google Down Under

G'day Mates! We're excited to announce that we just launched our search appliances in Australia and New Zealand. Ever since we announced the Google Search Appliance and the Google Mini we've gotten constant inquiries from customers down under who wanted to provide Google-quality search across their corporate networks and websites.

Google's approach of providing a complete enterprise search solution - in an appliance - rather than selling just the software means that customers can be up and runnin' and searchin' in little time after unpacking the box. But it also means that we as a company have to go through demanding tests and government processes for importing hardware into a new market. Anyway, we cleared all that and we're happy that now we can answer all those "I want my Google Mini!" demands!

Our customers elsewhere might be asking, "when can I get my hands on the Google Search Appliance?" Well, the answer is: soon! We're working hard to make sure ALL of you can enjoy great enterprise search just as you enjoy Google's web search.
