Google Apps
If your like many of my friends your running a small business, organization or school. You know you can’t afford to through money away on your IT management. You need a file server, MS Exchange server and lots of complicated software. Then you need to pay a contractor for set-up, repair and maintain this system. Doing things this old fashion way can cost you thousands and thousand of dollars. Face it you don’t have this money to waste. That’s where Google comes in with there new product Apps. (Actually it’s about a year old.)
Google Apps starts with Gmail a product you may already be using but unlike regular Gmail you’ll be using your own domain name (joe@widgets.com). You can create and collaborate on text documents, spreadsheets and presentations with full revision history with Google Docs. You may create collaborate and share calenders with the calendar app. All of this and much more.
With Google Apps Premier, Educational, Government and Non-profit you get Email and call in support.
For Google Apps Premier it cost $50 per seat per year. Far less than then calling IT contractor to set up maintain servers. A similar service is free to Governments, non-profits and schools.
There is a standard version that is free to anyone.
