Question

When to switch over to Google Apps?

Mar 27, 2012 9:00PM PDT

I am hearing lot of buzz about Google Apps. Please let me know if it would be worth considering moving my existing Rediffmail pro mailboxes to Google??

Our important thing that we need is high availability of access to emails...

It's surely worth considering. But nobody can predict the outcome of that considerations.

your current service and they offer exactly what you need, then there's no reason to switch. The grass isn't always greener on the other side.

One downfall to free trial

Beware, that the one major downfall of the free trial- is that once you use it, it will be hard to switch back to consolidate all your emails, contacts, calendar etc....

Google Business Apps may be what you need
Jul 6, 2012 4:09AM PDT

I have installed Google Business Apps for several companies. The deciding factor for them and my company was "how will I need, and WHERE will I need to access my email, calendar, shared calendars and contacts/shared contacts"

These days, most people don't check and respond to emails from one device- the downfall from this is you will not have a record of all sent and received items.

Myself and clients check emails and calendars from work desktops, laptops, iPads and phones across all OS platforms. This products installs on all devices and pushes all email and calendar etc- so you never have lost emails, even the sent items.

It is worth it in time saved alone. The days of searching for emails is over. The shared calanders works great for my clients who are in the service or legal field.

Good luck.

Thanks for the response.

Rediff has also come up with Enterprise version. What is the opinion about the same compared to GoogleApps? The bugging thing is the price difference.. Sad
