I always have a fair amount of projects that I’m juggling at a time with their own fair share of administration stuff. That is where Google steps in or more specifically Google Apps. Instead of installing a exchange server for my email, calendar, and syncing needs. I am able to get a better system for a cheaper price, in most cases FREE, with Google Apps. No headaches. No problems. Just simple. And I love the word simple.

Everything from emails to calendars to intranets and docs can be done in the Google system and I’ve only been happy with the system. Everything can be synced to my phone and my computers and my info is always up to date.

If you aren’t a Google Apps user and want to be. I can set you up. Email me at josh@originalboxstudio.com. Non-profits: Google Apps are FREE, yes free, to you. Shoot me an email.

If you haven’t had a chance yet to take Gmail offline. You need to. I migrated to completely Google from native apps on my PowerBook about four months ago: Gmail, Calendar, Reader, Docs, and Google Apps for Ridgepoint’s stuff. SIDE NOTE: Churches, you need to make the move to Google Apps for all your email, communication, and intranet needs! Free for Non-Profits and Google will beat whatever system you probably using.

The one downside to Gmail was that it was online and only online. I don’t have internet at home and it’s a pain to plugin my AT&T internet card for something simple like looking up an email. Now I have the FULL power of Gmail online and offline. Check it out:

Churches, want to hear about my experience with Google Apps and the setup process? Let me know. I would love to help. Contact me.
