Rentokil to use Google’s Apps cloud, 3,5000 Users.
Rentokil Initial has become one of the largest user of Google Apps , rolling out the cloud-based office suite to 35,000 users globally by the end of 2010.
Rentokill plans to use Google to consolidate 40 email systems including open source products and Microsoft Exchange, into a single email system. The complex setup prevented staff from sending email across the group.
“The company has evolved with each business buying its own systems. We also acquired a number of companies. We had difficulty in sending email across the company,” said Bryan Kinsella, chief information officer.
Kinsella has now mandated the use of Google Apps across the group for email, collaboration and video conferencing.
Rentokil selected Google Apps after a 100-day pilot within its Ambius division, with 800 users in different countries, which demonstrated the system’s suitability for the group as a whole.
