E-mail and collaboration systems can become a veritable ball and chain for firms as they seek to deal with ever increasing storage volumes and manage through difficult and costly hardware and software upgrades. If you're looking to break free Google Apps may be just the thing you've been looking for!
Google Apps provides a robust Internet based collaboration environment for your firm. Google Apps Premier Edition includes:
- Gmail for business - 25 GB storage, Postini spam and virus protection, 99.9% uptime SLA
- Google calendar - shared online calendars including resource calendars
- Google docs - shared on-line documents, spreadsheets, and presentations without need for client based software
- Google sites - intranet and team managed websites without the need for custom coding
- Google chat - instant messaging including audio and video
- Google groups - mailing lists with searchable archives
- Goggle video - video archive (think You Tube for your firm)
In addition to having a full feature set Google Apps is a "cloud" based solution. As such, you no longer have to manage the hardware and
software associated with your collaboration systems.
And
now for the best part, Google Apps only costs $50/user/year. Research
indicates that typical on-premise e-mail/calendaring solutions cost
between $300 and $1,000/user/year while not providing all of the
capabilities of Google Apps.
