Google Apps, is it a good fit for your business?

How many times have you wished your email provider gave your more space? Tired of dealing with hardware, networking problems, and spam problems? Wished you had a more professional email address than @yahoo.com or @hotmail.com? Then it might be time to look at alternatives for your business.

One option that we strongly recommend (and use for both our personal and professional email) is Google Apps.  Besides offering just email (with support for most mobile phones), it includes web based access to Google Docs which allows you to edit documents, create spreadsheets, and make minor changes They offer several different versions of the product /service that might appeal to different users depending on budget, numbers of users, and space requirements.  Below is a short comparison between the products and you can click here for the official Google document.
