Why Schools are Turning to Google Apps Education?

One fine morning the students of the Northwestern University (USA) approached the authorities with a curious proposal. “We know a lot of time and money goes into maintaining our internal email domain,” they said. “But no more. We have a solution that’ll get the work done for free, and increase our communication facilities.”

Intrigued by the promised profits the authorities decided to look into the matter. Google Apps - that’s what the name of the supposed savior was. And the specs didn’t look bad. To begin with- it was free. I mean, really free. There’s no hidden cost in the form of bulky hardware or maintenance. Why? Simple! There is no hardware!

Google Apps Education Edition is a completely cloud based service, so no data is stored on any physical drive. And as a result, everything is easily accessible from anywhere… including smartphones.

Another plus point is the security. Everyone knows about Google’s emphasize on security from viruses and stuff. And they have one of the best security systems in place. Now the same security system can become the backbone of your school’s email domain with Google Apps.

Then comes the killer combo of products that takes communication to a next level. Gmail, Groups, Docs and Calendar help with their accurate nature and simple but intuitive interface; and Wave makes collaboration super-fast with real-time support.

The new-age communication system heralded by Google is by far the best platform for students for seamless communication, since it comes with a guarantee of a dedicated customer support service and a 99.99% uptime record.

The folks at Northwestern University switched immediately with great results, as did millions of other educational institutions around the globe. What about your school?

You can migrate from current email system to google apps with help of professional google apps Resellers / partners. With Zero downtime of-course!
