When Google launched Google Apps Premier Edition for $50 per user per year, it raised the question, “How much should we be paying for email?”
But it’s not just this eye-popping price that should trigger the question about where you should run your email. Instead, every time you have to upgrade, switch, or add users to your email system, you should examine your fully loaded costs and consider the delivery alternatives.
This paper delivers findings from a Forrester study that surveyed 53 IT professionals at North American and European enterprises to find out where they run their email, calendar, contact, and task list services. This report presents a spreadsheet cost model to help you calculate your fully loaded on-premise email costs and compare it against cloud-based alternatives.
Bottom line: Cloud-based email makes sense for companies or divisions as large as 15,000 users.
Google Apps offers simple, powerful communication and collaboration tools for enterprises of any size in business, education, or government – all hosted by Google to streamline setup, minimize maintenance, and reduce IT costs. With Gmail, Google Calendar, and integrated IM, users can stay connected and work together with ease, even in private domains. And, using Google Docs, which include word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation tools, they can share files and collaborate in real-time, keeping versions organized and available wherever and whenever users work.
