Google Would Be Applying The Postini Policy Technology Across The Google Apps

12th November 2009

The Postini technology which lets the Google Apps Premier administrators control the email environments by establishing and enforcing the usage policies, the rules as well a s the parameters would be extended to some other of the applications of the suite. In that way, the Apps Premier administrators will be gaining tighter control over how the employees use not the Gmail only but also their other suite components, such as the word processing, the spreadsheet and the presentation applications too.

After being completed, the extension of this Postini security and management capabilities could be going a long way towards the calming concerns from the CIOs and the IT managers about using the Web hosted software such as Google Apps.

In turn it could be boosting the attempts of Google to lure the large organizations in order to adopt the Apps Premier, which, as the most sophisticated version of the suite, contains increasing number of the tools as well as the services that these companies require. The Apps Premier is only a fee based edition of this suite, which is priced at $50 per user for a year.

Scott Petry who is a Postini founder and the product management director in the Google's Enterprise division has said that Google and Postini are both integrated today in that every Apps a customer gets the Postini services layer for the purpose of managing their e-mail in Gmail.
