Proven cost savings
Google's web-based messaging and collaboration
apps require no hardware or software and need minimal
administration, creating tremendous time and cost savings for
businesses.
End users can use the familiar
Microsoft Outlook interface for email, contacts and calendar
as they transition to Gmail and Google Calendar. |
| A leading research firm found
that Google Apps is as little as 1/3 the total cost of competing
solutions. Want to see how much you could save with Google

50 times more storage than the industry average
Each employee gets 25 GB for email storage, so
they can keep important messages and find them instantly with
built-in Google search. |
| Gmail is designed so
employees can spend less time managing their inboxes, and more
time being productive. Time-saving features like message
threading, message labels, fast message search and powerful spam
filtering help employees work efficiently with high volumes of
email. |

Mobile email, calendar and IM access
With several options for accessing their
information while on the go, employees can be productive with
Google Apps even when they're not at their desks. |
| At no extra charge, Google
Apps supports over-the-air mobile access on BlackBerry devices,
the iPhone, Windows Mobile, Android and many less powerful
phones. |

99.9% uptime reliability guarantee with
synchronous replication
We guarantee that Google Apps will be
available at least 99.9% of the time, so your employees are more
productive and so you can worry less about system downtime.** |
| With synchronous replication,
your data and activity in Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Docs
and Google Sites is simultaneously preserved in multiple secure
data centers. If one data center is unable to serve your
requests, the system is designed to instantly fall back to
another data center that can serve your account with no
interruption in service. The Radicati Group found that
Microsoft Exchange typically has 60 minutes of unplanned
downtime per month. Google Apps customers typically experience
less than 15 minutes of downtime per month. |
