Benefits of Google Apps over Microsoft Office Suite


One main issue with using Outlook for email is that if your server crashes, you simply have no email. With Gmail, you generally don't have to worry that Google's servers are going to go down. Anything can happen, but the chances of that happening are very slim. Plus, if they were to stop working, your email would still be backed up to the cloud Cheap Bears Shirts , and past emails would be recoverable. Sharing is another advantage 鈥?with Google Apps you can easily share, edit, and keep track of changes to documents among coworkers with one click! No need to email back and forth, and no independent server is needed to house your files.


Google Apps can also be customized with your company's logo. Your company can easily purchase a new domain name and integrate it with your email extension. So as soon as your company signs up with Google Apps, your chosen domain and email extension are set up. With Office, you have to purchase your domain through another carrier, like GoDaddy Cheap Bears Jerseys , and integrate your email yourself. It can be done, but it's a bit more of a process.
