One year mark for Google Apps Education Edition
October 25, 2007
Posted by Jeff Keltner, Business Development Google Apps Education Edition
It's been one year since we unveiled
Google Apps Education Edition
and we've seen great progress in that time. Thousands of educational institutions on six continents now use Google Apps, and we have hundreds of thousands of active users. We want to thank our customers for providing feedback and having an open dialogue with us. Based on feedback from lots of folks, we have rolled in more than 40 product and feature updates in this first year, including:
Increased
inbox
storage
Mail migration
and routing
New
Google Docs
UI
Shared documents and
presentation features
Customizable
start pages
Shared
address book
Web-based multi-user
chat
IMAP for Gmail
(coming soon)
By keeping in touch with key customers, we can make the changes and additions necessary to truly meet your needs. Our
Google@School
event was a great success in connecting with our customers and gathering feedback last year, check out the video:
And this year at the
Educause
conference in Seattle we're announcing the first Customer Advisory Board (CAB) for Google Apps Education Edition. They are:
Abilene Christian University
Arizona State University
Central Piedmont Community College
Northwestern University
University of North Carolina - Greensboro
University of Southern California
These members represent a cross-section of the educational community as well as the range of institutions using Google Apps. We're meeting
for the first time this week to address the needs and demands of all types of educational institutions.
