Google Apps (http://www.google.com/apps) is a free email and collaboration service provided by Google for small organizations. The email system is based on Gmail, a lightweight and dynamic web application. The collaboration platform includes shared documents, chat, calendar and other useful software. Google Apps has been around for a few years and was a free service for all domains until early 2009. Now, it is free only for domains with 50 or less accounts. If the domain owner needs more users, he has to subscribe to the Premium service. Educational institutions, however, can still get Google Apps for free for an unlimited number of students. Google is able to give this service for free because it is able to earn revenues from the ads that it displays along with the email application. The good thing is that the ads shown are not obtrusive and will not distract the user. Also, the free edition is subsidized by the premium edition which includes more power features as well as a 25GB storage space for emails. SMEs in Bohol should take advantage of Google Apps because it allows them to have their very own email name on their own domain name. For marketing and communicating with vendors and customers, an email address like info@mycompany.com looks more prestigious and professional than info_mycompany@yahoo.com or info_mycompany@msn.com. And why not? It is free and configuration is included in Auza.Net’s website development and hosting service. Email Auza.Net at info@auza.net or call our sales office at 038-501-8459. Share...
