Take a test drive into the cloud
June 1, 2010
We’ve talked about the power of
cloud computing
and how millions of businesses have already
gone Google
by switching to Apps. But sometimes it’s hard to imagine what working in the cloud would really mean, and frequently, people ask us how they can better understand the benefits of Google Apps specifically for their business. How would online collaboration really affect your workplace? And how could increased email storage or integrated IM and video chat actually impact your company’s productivity?
To answer some of these questions, we’ve created the
Go Google cloud calculator
to let you take a test drive into the cloud. Whether your company is big or small, brand new or been around for a while, this tool will give you a sense of the benefits of going Google in an easy-to-understand way. Here’s a quick demo:
Once you take a spin and learn about the potential cost and time savings, the tool will create a
custom URL
,
presentation PDF
,
spreadsheet
or even a
poster
that you can share with other decision makers within your business as you discuss going Google.
To show you a real-life example, we asked one our customers,
Smart Furniture
(you may remember them from their
recent guest post
), to test-drive the tool for us. And here’s their poster:
So if you’ve been thinking about moving your business to the cloud, take a couple minutes and see what it would be like to go Google. Be sure to
tweet
and share your results. The Go Google cloud calculator can be found at
