We had an excellent turn-out to our Google Apps seminar of December 3rd. The principle message delivered was about how you can reduce IT costs, increase reliability and security of your mission critical mail solution and empower your users.

The costs and issues with on-premise e-mail servers were highlighted as were the massive cost saving that can be made via Google mail solution - over 70%! Yet security, reliability and user experience are improved. It is hardly surprising then that enterprise customers of all sizes are moving to GoogleApps for their messaging and collaboration. Leading analysts estimate that 'by 2012, 20% of enterprise e-mail seats will use a software as a service (SaaS) or "cloud" model for e-mail services'.

A live demo was given of Google mail, Google Talk and Google Docs.

The audience also discovered that ABSI has extra to offer: a FREE GoogleApps assessment: a tailored blueprint for your migration.
