Monthly billing for Google Apps Resellers now available!


Date: March 15, 2012 05:09:04 GMT+03:00
Subject: Monthly billing for Google Apps Resellers now available!

Hello Oleg,

The Google Apps Reseller Team is excited to announce that today, you will be able to switch to the new monthly post-pay billing system in your Reseller Tools. We will offer flexible billing plans to you: an Annual Plan with a year commitment or a Flexible Plan with no commitment. You'll pay Google monthly in arrears rather than pre-paying annually in advance.

You can begin the transition by looking for the yellow promo box and clicking the "Move to monthly billing" link in your Reseller Tools. Once you transition, Google will migrate existing prepaid orders to monthly post-pay and issue a prorated credit for future usage.

Overview of the migration process:
  1. After beginning the transition, follow the prompts to review and accept the amendment to your Reseller Agreement. Note: The new billing system replaces the annual prepaid system. Google may elect to NOT renew your Google Apps Reseller Agreement if your company does not accept the amendment as presented in the Reseller Tools.
  2. Once the amendent is accepted, the migration process begins.
  3. Your order history will be automatically migrated.
  4. Prorated migration credit for future usage will appear on the next invoice, along with monthly charges.
  5. You will need to pay all invoices that you receive from Google before, during and after the transition. Your migration credit can only be applied to each of your monthly post-pay invoices.
We also invite you to join us on one of the following live webinars on Tuesday, March 27th to learn more about the new billing system, what this means for your business, and how to begin the transition:
  • Register: [Americas/EMEA-friendly] Tuesday, March 27 at 8am PST / 11am EST / 3pm GMT
  • Register: [APAC-friendly] Tuesday, March 27 at 4pm PST / Wednesday, March 28 at 10am AEST
For more information and details on the new billing system and migration credit, please see the Intro FAQ on Google Partner Connect and the Help Center. (If you experience errors accessing the FAQ, it may be that you don't have access to Google Partner Connect yet. To ensure that you have access, follow the "Get Secure Access to GPC" instructions where you can get yourself and your team access).

Contact the team at apps-solution-providers@google.com if you have any questions or feedback.

Sincerely,
The Google Apps Reseller Team

Your Action Required: Changes to Postini bundling with Google Apps


Subject: Your Action Required: Changes to Postini bundling with Google Apps
Date: 1 February, 2012 12:24:41 AM EST



Hello Oleg,

Important: This message describes changes to the Postini services bundled with Google Apps and the actions required of you as a Google Apps Reseller. 

WHAT'S CHANGING

We recently released new Gmail message-filtering features for Google Apps, including compliance footers, approved/blocked senders, attachment controls, and more. These features are comparable to those offered with Google Message Security. 

The new offering makes it easier for Google Apps administrators to manage all their email settings in a single interface. As a result, we are no longer offering integrated Google Message Security (GMS) with Google Apps, and will require users to migrate their email filters settings to Apps. 

YOUR CURRENT CUSTOMERS USING INTEGRATED GMS

Current Apps customers with integrated GMS will be required to move their configuration settings to Google Apps policies and change their MX records to point to Gmail.

Exceptions: Integrated GMS customers who have added Postini archiving or encryption services will not be migrated at this time.

Actions Required 
In early February, we'll begin emailing both reseller customers and direct customers with instructions on how to move their email filters from integrated GMS from Google Apps. 

Note: Normally, we would not contact your customers directly. However, this migration requires contacting Google Apps administrators who use Postini integrated services so we can track their Postini service status, which is managed through our systems. 

After the primary Google Apps administrator receives an automated migration notification from Google, they can access a special Transition tab in the Postini Admin Console that walks them through the migration process.

Customers will be notified in batches beginning in February, and customers will be given 45 days to migrate their settings. If customers do not take action, their email will be routed directly to Gmail without any filtering through Postini.

Completion of the migration for all customers from the integrated GMS to Google Apps settings is targeted  the end of June 2012. See the FAQ link at the end of this message for details on the migration steps and schedule.

Action: We request that you notify your customers immediately before they receive the automated email from Google. Following is the template you can customize:

=> Template Email to send to your integrated GMS customers now


YOUR CURRENT CUSTOMERS USING INTEGRATED GMS
 Your current customers using the standalone Message Security service with Google Apps will not be affected by this migration process.  

YOUR NEW CUSTOMERS
 Your new customers should use the email-filtering capabilities in Google Apps. No Postini services needed. 

Exceptions: You may continue to order Postini services for your Google Apps customers who require:
  • Delivery manager (email routing) capabilities
  • TLS encryption
  • Message archiving
There are no changes to the ordering process or pricing; add the $0 GMS product and purchase the additional services to your Google Apps order as usual. 

MORE INFORMATION AND RESOURCES
We realize that this is a significant change, and we appreciate your assistance with the transition. Over the coming months, we will continue to enrich Google Apps email with new features, including split delivery and encryption options.

For the latest status on the migration and more about the transition process:
If you have additional questions, please contact your Google Apps Channel Manager.

Sincerely, 

The Google Apps Reseller Team

- From the Email settings page, click "Filters".
- In the Organizations section select the organization for which you want to add settings.
- To create a new setting, click the "Add Setting" button near the right edge of the window (the Add setting dialog box opens).

Changes to Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service

Changes to Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service

Is this email not displaying properly?
View it in your browser.

Dear Google user,

We're getting rid of over 60 different privacy policies across Google and replacing them with one that's a lot shorter and easier to read. Our new policy covers multiple products and features, reflecting our desire to create one beautifully simple and intuitive experience across Google.

We believe this stuff matters, so please take a few minutes to read our updated Privacy Policy and Terms of Service at http://www.google.com/policies. These changes will take effect on March 1, 2012.


One policy, one Google experience
Easy to work across Google Tailored for you Easy to share and collaborate
Easy to work across Google

Our new policy reflects a single product experience that does what you need, when you want it to. Whether you're reading an email that reminds you to schedule a family get-together or finding a favorite video that you want to share, we want to ensure you can move across Gmail, Calendar, Search, YouTube, or whatever your life calls for with ease.

Tailored for you

If you're signed into Google, we can do things like suggest search queries – or tailor your search results – based on the interests you've expressed in Google+, Gmail, and YouTube. We'll better understand which version of Pink or Jaguar you're searching for and get you those results faster.

Easy to share and collaborate

When you post or create a document online, you often want others to see and contribute. By remembering the contact information of the people you want to share with, we make it easy for you to share in any Google product or service with minimal clicks and errors.


Protecting your privacy hasn't changed

Our goal is to provide you with as much transparency and choice as possible, through products like Google Dashboard and Ads Preferences Manager, alongside other tools. Our privacy principles remain unchanged. And we'll never sell your personal information or share it without your permission (other than rare circumstances like valid legal requests).

Got questions?
We've got answers.

Visit our FAQ at http://www.google.com/policies/faq to read more about the changes. (We figured our users might have a question or twenty-two.)


Notice of Change

March 1, 2012 is when the new Privacy Policy and Terms will come into effect. If you choose to keep using Google once the change occurs, you will be doing so under the new Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

Please do not reply to this email. Mail sent to this address cannot be answered. Also, never enter your Google Account password after following a link in an email or chat to an untrusted site. Instead, go directly to the site, such as mail.google.com or www.google.com/accounts. Google will never email you to ask for your password or other sensitive information.
