Google Apps

Let me just start by saying how GREAT Google apps is!

I recently made the switch from a regular email hosted on a regular server to the almighty powerful Google. My email isn't your typical "gmail" or any other generic address @ it coincides with my web URL nthreeq.com. Isn't that great?! Now I can access my email anywhere from any computer.

With Google email you have all of your emails, which will also download to your Outlook or Entourage and whether you send through Outlook or Google it shows up on both. You can also be logged in from multiple computers - which helps us graphic artists when we work on both MAC's and PC's at the same time.

What a time saver! It also can do videos, documents and has a calendar - which will also sync right up to your Outlook calendar, iCal or Entourage calendar.

Next greatest feature?! Back up and the power of the Google servers. If your computer crashes - your email is safe backed up and stored within Google. And think about this - what are the odds of your hosting company's servers to go down? Or get hacked? Pretty good. Now, what about this. What are the chances that Google is going to go down or get hacked? I take the bet to be safe with Google.

Another feature?! Unless you need crazy space - like a graphic designer in Phoenix, i.e. me - it's free. And if you want crazy space - um $50 a year. And if you are a non-profit like many of my clients - extra features!

Best of all? Security. My Google email actually tells me how many computers I have logged in and from which IP addresses it is logged in from. So know your IP address and how many computers are logged in. Don't recognize the IP - it's not yours? Your in the bathtub and a friend calls you and says hey - I thought you are in the bath why are you logged on? Quickly, shut all IP addresses out and go in to security mode.

That'll teach anyone to get in to your personal email - besides - isn't there a law about accessing someone's mail without permission or consent? I think there is.

So, Google Apps - all the way! Contact me today if you have any questions - it's the next greatest thing out there! Need a computer backup solution for all your files? I have found one of those too! Contact me to find out more!

Take care,
