I work for Fronde Systems in Auckland as part of the S+S, SaaS team . Fronde has recently been appointed Google’s first partner in New Zealand for the Google Security, Compliance and eDiscovery products as well as Google Apps. Hopefully this means I'll be able to get my paws out to play with some Google Apps though as we're specialists in transaction processing I'm wondering if it will be the security & transaction guys who get all the fun. Guess I'll find out when I get back from speaking at TechEd Australia. Fronde had other good news last week as well. We won the Microsoft Partner Software Solution of the year award for 2008. Pretty spiffing eh?
