A number of tools are available to do this, centred around Exchange Server and Outlook, although other platforms, including Lotus Notes, are supported. We had few problems with these although migration can take several hours per user, so allow plenty of time unless starting totally from scratch.
As with all applications the software behind Google Apps will be updated from time to time, but most updates will be implemented transparently requiring no action on behalf of either users or system administrators. Major enhancements are advertised well in advance and customers can opt to trial important new features before implementing. The basic subscription should cover the needs of most small business users. The only extras are likely to be additional storage possibly for message archiving via the Postini service , and third-party add-ons required to further extend functionality.
Google Apps Premier scores highly when it comes to ease and speed of deployment. A small company can be up and running in just a few hours and new users added in minutes. The most mature components—messaging, contacts and calendaring—are the biggest selling points.
Small companies will particularly like being able to access e-mail, calendars and contacts from anywhere, without the need for complex and, often, expensive VPN arrangements. Likewise the ability to push messages out to Blackberry, iPhone and other mobile users, at no extra cost, is a major plus. We particularly liked the browser-based mail client with its threaded conversation view and labels to organise messages.
The Google Docs component is much less mature and, despite a recent revamp of the underlying technology, still no match for what Microsoft Office has to offer. Indeed, Google recently acquired one of these third-party developers DocVerse and is expected to incorporate its Microsoft Office integration technology into the core Google Docs service fairly soon. Sure, you get to store and collaborate on documents online, but the tools are far from feature rich and storage is limited.

Collaboration Up to ten people can all edit the same document at the same time 50 for spreadsheets and any document can be viewed by up to people at once. Mail and Calendar Google Mail and Calendar are both distinctly separate offerings, not really integrating into the other Google Apps except that they will all look at the same list of Contacts for sending email, scheduling meetings or sharing documents.
Offline One of the major drawbacks to Google Docs has to be that you need an internet connection, and a reasonably fast one at that, in order to do anything.

But its mere existence is probably enough to agitate the Behemoth of Redmond. Call it an Office Annoyer. The various productivity tools it involves are all extant already, and are also available in free versions.
Google has let people with domain names use Gmail as their e-mail solution for awhile, and a free version of Google Apps under the what-a-mouthful name Google Apps For Your Domain appeared back in August. This product made PCWorld. Check out the list. Stop downloading pirated files also. Contact sync between Blackberry, Gmail, Salesforce, and Outlook is a must. They will be dead in the water without this. It's the only thing holding me up from making the "big switch" You should use plaxo for your contact sync.
The pace of development is glacial. Still no integration with Blogger! Yeah, I know you can hack something to work, but that's no good for the average user. How do I change everything from googlepages over to google apps? Do I really have to start all over again? Thanks Pauletta. And can you please "fix" the month view of the calendar so it does not truncate entries that extend beyond a single line.
I must say that the task looked daunting in the beginning but it came our quite nice in the end. Google Apps Premier Edition is a great Technology boost for corporates and enterprises.
It is much more cost effective than any legacy server based email system. I also use their free email service. Google Apps premium, however, is the worst customer experience that I have ever had. A relative has a small business and I suggested to switch to Google Apps, naively thinking that their premium service would be even better than their free service. They outsource the Google Apps to "IYogi" an Indian company and we talk to people in India who don't know the service and can't answer basic questions, lie about the set-up costs, costs of the service, and do a hard sell on warranties.
Further, when they said that they are going to call within minutes, they did not, and 1. And when we did finally get to us, they wanted to charge us more for an undisclosed fee.
Run, don't walk, away from Google Apps. Totally disgusted. If they'd just let you mix and match Premier and Free across a single domain, this might be perfect. It's still great, but sadly, still less than perfect. Anonymous Don't waste resources you don't have. I certainly hope you are not being serious in your comment.
This is a very good blog. Also where are we at with the OTA syncing to a blackberry etc? In the meantime, what can you expect when using this with a BB? Thanks Max. Can google Add be used with Exchange Server?. I mean simultaneously! Which edition? Is no one concerned about all the talk of Google while not being evil still having access to all your companies private data? As much as I love Google's policy's - putting a whole company's private data in their hands is something that does make me worry a bit.
Windows Live Admin Center prev'ly Custom Domains din't had custom branding so i switched 2 google apps, but now Live Admin too had custom branding included. It also has many features which GApps still dont have. Disregard my previous comment Alex just answered this in a different blog. Is there anyone in the New York City area who uses google apps premier who would like to participate in a paid focus group study in manhattan?
The pay is pretty lucrative for just a few hours.
