Google Apps For Small Business

When I set up hosting for a design client, the hosting package comes with plenty of email power, but nothing can really top Gmail for email purposes. Some argue that putting all of your eggs into the Google basket is a bad idea. I feel otherwise. Google Apps has offered up one of the nicest set of small business tools available anywhere. Our church even uses Google Apps to manage multiple calendars, store documents for the staff, and route emails.

The best part of it all is that Google Apps is domain-brandable. So my church email address is brandon@bethelbentonville.com but it’s actually powered by Gmail and therefore gets me tons of storage, highly searchable and taggable email, and the awesome Gmail user interface. We can keep a facilities and events calendar for the organization and we can each have our own calendars to share with one another. It’s all collaborative magic!

Mashable.com just published a post detailing how small businesses can use Google Apps. I highly recommend that if you aren’t totally satisfied with your non-google-apps-email-and-calendar solution, check it out.
