AAPT today announced that it will be offering Google’s new enterprise search solution to prospective and existing AAPT business customers. The integrated hardware and software product allows companies to harness the search power of Google in their internal business environment. “Why is it that you can Google information on the web quicker than you can locate critical data within your own business? It doesn’t make sense!” said Gregg Roy, General Manager, AAPT Business Solutions.

“AAPT’s partnership with Google demonstrates our commitment to providing innovative solutions to our business customers. We are continually finding new ways to increase our customer’s productivity and profitability not only with traditional telecommunications services but also now with ICT solutions,” said Mr Roy.

Two versions of the product are available. The Google Search Appliance is designed for larger organisations, with the capacity to search from 500,000 to 30 million documents. It features instant, real-time secure access to all the information and knowledge across the organisation and uses an interface as simple and intuitive as Google.com.

“The Google Search Appliance is an excellent tool to increase business productivity. It makes the sea of data on your network instantly available from a single familiar search box,” said Mr Roy.

The Google Mini is designed to meet the needs of small to medium businesses and is physically half the size of the Search Appliance. It supports from 50,000 to 300,000 documents and enables multiple document collections, search across file servers and improved reporting.

“The Google Mini is an ideal solution for small to medium enterprises. It delivers a cost effective search capability across the company’s website, intranet and file server,” said Mr Roy.

The Google Search Appliance and Mini are priced from $75K and $5K respectively. AAPT will provide sales, installation and consulting support for the Google Mini and Search Appliance products.
