Looking For Web-based Business Productivity Tools? Try Google Apps
07/05/10 | Kentucky Business Network
Apps is a platform that allows businesses to run Google tools under a custom domain name, while having greater administrative control than the regular Google services. Google Apps will allow you to use a private version of Gmail under your own domain as an enterprise solution for businesses. Other tools include: Docs, Google Sites, Chat, Calendar, Mobile, Video and more. There is also a marketplace for loading new apps to work under your Google Business Account.
Cost
The cost for the Google Apps service is 50 dollars per user per year. This gives that user access to more than just email. The whole enterprise package ( as configured by the administrator ) can be accessible by each user, including Calendar, Chat, Sites, and more. We found this to be an excellent alternative to Microsoft business services, and it works great for both small businesses and large organizations.
