DESL Moves to Google Apps for Business With MediaAgility

GURGAON, India - Dec. 18, 2013 - PRLog -- Development Energy Services Ltd. (http://www.deslenergy.com/) (DESL)has “Gone Google” with help of MediaAgility, a premier Google Apps partner.

Development Environergy Services Ltd. (DESL) (formerly known as Dalkia Energy Services Ltd) is a subsidiary of Veolia Environnement Ingenerie Conseil (VEIC), a €22 Million consulting conglomerate headquartered in France. Since the launch of the business in 1999, DESL has continuously reinvented itself as a differentiated service provider with pioneering introduction of new technology and business processes and development of sustainable market for energy efficiency and renewable energy development services in India and across the globe. Since its inception, DESL has delivered over 300 projects including Energy Efficiency, Renewable Energy Development, Cogeneration and Captive power Projects size ranging from 1 MW to 50 MW and fuel ranging from coal and biomass to wastes.

The management at DESL after evaluating all available cloud based solutions arrived at the conclusion that Google Apps for Business (http://www.mediaagility.com/google_apps_enterprise_suite/) is best suited to their requirements. They found Google Apps for Business a good fit for the company’s messaging needs that also served their collaboration requirements well. Minimal downtime, smooth communication, collaboration and data security offered by the Google Apps suite lured DESL to make this decision.

Google Apps brings simple, powerful communication and collaboration tools to organizations of any size – all hosted by Google to streamline setup, minimize maintenance, and reduce IT costs. With Gmail (including Google email security, powered by Vault), Google Calendar, and integrated IM, users can stay connected and work together with ease. And, using Google Docs and Google Sites, they can share files and collaborate in realtime, keeping versions organized and available wherever and whenever users work.

MediaAgility migrated 50 employees of the company from a third party solution to Google Apps. The reason for migration was delay in delivery of mails and large downtime from their previous server. The entire Deployment was complete within 1 week. Deployment activities include sharing of Intranet communication templates, mobile device setting and outlook configuration. Tips & tricks email templates were sent as a change management exercise to get users up to speed. All emails from previous platform were migrated successfully to Google Apps. With Google Apps for Business there is zero downtime and no loss of emails. DESL was provided with technical support on weekends and given Google Apps admin training and user support under Change Management program.

“The successful roll out is a tribute to our IT team’s meticulous solutioning, planning and orchestration,” says DESL’s IT Support specialist, Prakash Nailwal. “Google Apps roll out turned out to be one of the most productive IT change we have ever done. We realized significant cost savings, and further anticipate additional savings due to rapid adoption of the solution throughout our organization”.

As a Google Enterprise Premier Reseller, MediaAgility has received extensive training, support and deployment services from Google, as well as access to APIs for integrating Google Apps into their customers’ business operations. The businesses receiving Google Apps from MediaAgility benefit from the additional attention to their specific needs.
