Ontario vendor joins Google Apps partner program

Esna Technologies, a Richmond Hill, Ont.-based developer of embedded collaboration solutions, has joined the Google Apps Premier Technology Partner program.

The new Google Apps partner program focuses on companies that can complement, extend or enhance the functionality of the Google Apps platform, and solutions need to deeply and smoothly integrate into Google Apps.

Esna’s flagship offering is its Officelinx platform, including Officelinx Collaboration for real time presence, instant messaging and voice communications, Officelinx Messaging for enterprise class unified messaging and voicemail, and Officelinx Collaboration + Messaging which combines the two. It offers versions that integrate with Salesforce, Cisco and Jive, and now that list includes Google Apps.

According to Esna, it’s the first Google partner to integrate unified communications and collaboration capability with Google Apps, and they already have more than 500,000 Google Apps users that also use Esna solutions.

“As more companies migrate the applications that run their business to the cloud, we see tremendous opportunity with Google,” said Mohammad Nezarati, Esna’s CEO, in a statement. “We’ve had a strong relationship with the Google Apps team for the last several years and we look forward to continuing to deliver significant value and a seamless user experience to our joint customers.”
