Google offers a package of simple and powerful tools that you can use to communicate and collaborate more effectively, for less. Simplex Studios uses, teaches and 100% recommends Google Apps for business. Below are 5 ways Google Apps can help Small Businesses.
- Branded Email: Does your email address show professionalism when it ends in yahoo.com, gmail.com or comcast.com? Give your email a professional and legitimate look. [email protected] can easily become [email protected], plus you can add nicknames to your emails with ease: [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected].
- Feature Rich: Get all the benefits and features that large companies have without the huge costs, hardware and hassle of managing both the geek squad and an email server. Communicate like never before with: Branded Email accounts and instant search tools, web-powered collaboration apps: Google Docs, Google Calendar, Google Tasks, Google Contacts, Google Sites and Google Video for your business, IM, plus voice and video chat, Offline access to your inbox, Mobile access, Spam/virus filtering, and also a custom home page in your web browser to go with it!
- Sync: Anytime, anywhere access to your email, calendar, and docs which is conveniently synced in the cloud to your desktop, laptop and mobile device. Read a message on your phone when you are out at an open house and when you return to the office the message is already read on your computer. Easily sync to Outlook, Blackberry and other smartphones. Google Apps is designed so you can spend less time managing your inbox, and more time being productive.
