End User Benefits
Google apps provides familiar, easy-to-use Google technology which also reduces IT overhead.
End user benefits include:
- Universal Access - Google Apps users receive universal access to their data, across any platform, any device, anytime.
- Email with the most current technology - Employees can email instant message and make high-quality voice and video communication without launching a separate application.
- Industry leading storage - 25 GB of storage per user lets them keep just about anything they think may be important down the road.
- Easy sharing docs, spreadsheets and presentation - Google Apps users share one doc, with multiple editors and real-time updates, along with secure, controlled access.
- Simple, secure video and web publishing - With Google Video users securely share and watch internal videos.
- Web publishing - Google Sites enables users to easily build, publish and manage web content - and even entire web sites - without special coding skills or IT support.
Cloud infrastructure
Google Apps' cloud computing advantages include IT time savings, increased reliability, security and scalability. Instead of focusing on maintenance, backups, upgrades and security your IT department can focus on innovation.
Advantages of being cloud based:
- Scalability and reliability - Google Apps is powered by the same infrastructure that services hundreds of millions of users each day, with a guaranteed 99.9% uptime SLA, redundancy across multiple data centers, and automatic disaster recovery.
- More IT control - Data in the cloud limits exposure to data leaks from lost end-user devices. Centralized sharing controls clarifies who has access to data and eliminates accidental sharing of content from email attachments.
- Minimize security hassles - Google can push security patches across in real-time, eliminating the pain and cost of security patches for IT admins. Google Apps data is fractured and obfuscated across multiple servers and disks, making it human-unreadable. Data is replicated in multiple data centers for redundancy and consistent availability.
