They are inexpensive. They (except if they are not) can be accessed from any device with a browser. The federal government this summer, they prefer the Interior Ministry to check whether Microsoft has made its mark. Mobility Motorola Inc. are large companies like Google Inc. and U. S. News top 100 universities in 61 Heck probably knew that before moving, and the latest World Report rankings Google has been moved to Google Apps and Google corporate blog, launched this week.
Four million companies with enterprise applications from Google, an increase of 3 million a year before use. And accelerating the pace: The company said that 5000 companies every day, your Google Apps account records. Squad Google is developing very rapidly in this area. The company used today, more than 1000 team implementation, doubling the number of employees in just 18 months earlier, a Google spokesman confirmed.
However, on the verge of great success in business enterprise applications in Google? Analysts tracking the simple-minded monitoring of the labor market, not the company's future. Step taken in large enterprises, these practices are still an integral, but anywhere to change the Microsoft Office applications, and is usually applied in the business, rather than the different working groups. However, always Google the right to develop their messaging and collaboration for businesses wanting to make the short list with Microsoft and IBM, these analysts are quick to add. Unlike a few years ago, the interest goes beyond an attempt to Gmail.
Free your staff "person is not satisfied with your current e-mail, e-mail instead, Google is looking," Ted Schadler, Forrester Research Inc. analyst, and strengthened according to the authors, the basic energy to its customers and business transformation. "People do things and how to get the benefits, and offers an important difference in how a work platform for SaaS-based delivery is supported [Software as a Service] as an important transition looking for on Google. Simply does not make a decision. "
To go to Google management
In the company are looking for on Google or other collaboration platform SaaS, a number of reasons, but a growing mobile workforce and IT systems needed to support the rapid change of the activity are two important factors, Schadler said. Usually, Microsoft and Lotus software messaging and collaboration running an earlier version and would be an upgrade. "Google is not the first in the list, once a short list of questions is," he said. CIO - even CEOs and boards of directors - rather than push, the staff are, Forrester found. SaaS is a work product is detected, and yes, the cost is a real grabber. "Look or feel or behave like a solution based on old plants, and some people hate, but I'm not very cheap, "he said.
Lincoln Property Co. It has a more or how things were few, Jay Kenney CIO of Novell GroupWise for its 4,000 employees in 2010, Google Apps, a management company based in Dallas, by changing the electronic mail system, he said. Possible to move the SaaS platform is a practice management infrastructure and strategy in line with each contract, but Google Apps is not your favorite. "Google Apps in the business model there is only one case has been published. Internalization or out, or was the leading candidate of change," he said. Turned out to be a compelling business case, "It's cheaper than anything else was out there," he said. "Change management is really harder - to reach users through the company is comfortable with the new system.”
Who does not need Google Apps?
CIOs Whit said, Google can not afford not to look at the option, Andrews principal analyst at Gartner Inc., Google "This e-mail, and a solution is good enough for Google Apps for documents, many people within organizations continues to grow, "he said.
It is important to define good enough. Google in the Office family of applications business for employees who need access to a large number of old applications with less sense. In addition, critical business processes or BPM, Office applications and SharePoint available to resident companies many stores management heavy, but Andrews said.
In addition, the data are not suitable cloud-based messaging and collaboration you need to know that the rest of the business world, companies without a cloud in many places, the bandwidth and reliable companies to infrastructure have no experience, Schadler, Forrester said.
As for the attitude, "remove and replace, it will go all" - not, analysts agree. "Google Apps rather than the more commonly used as a complement," said Andrews. In fact, measures are rarely computer systems are large. "These people are not my photos on a hard disk, stored on Flickr, as now, such as Microsoft Office and do not shoot."
For most companies are moving to Google Apps "pure cost game" starts, the organization has recommended Jason Lee, a partner MavenWave Partners LLC, a consulting firm based in Chicago (and Google partner) agree move the cloud. I recognize, however, Schadler, Forrester, companies in the first decision to move the site, or a solution based on non-local programs should consider is whether you want to continue.
This client MavenWave Journal Communications Inc., a Milwaukee was the case with the media. It was close to the renovation and large enterprise agreement with Microsoft, and separate IT infrastructures, including multiple versions of 17 deployments, and Microsoft Exchange. New CIO, Michael O'Brien, who brought on board, "changing the driver," said Lee.
Earlier, at the beginning of a CIO, cloud computing, O'Brien, was shaken. The purpose of communication possible in the cloud "is to put as many daily operations. Thus, despite the company's contract with Microsoft, Google Apps has caused the situation to pass. Until 2012, when everyone 27 000 employees, the difference is a significant change in the last message of the organization on Google Apps "among the hundreds of MS Exchange Server and SharePoint, and not just" O'Brien was founded. "doubted the task to find the first on board, and even some of the people."
In fact, O'Brien decided to go to the Google cloud computing is not prone to the Company believes that the most difficult things for the house to look at the many companies that bet MavenWave Lee. "Cooperation, technology base is probably the best place to invest in internal IT assets, the difference should be much chat for CIOs," he said.
And financial forecasts - a problem for the owner of O'Brien and Lincoln Kenney involves a lot of work to manage change.
