Google Apps: easy, collaborative workgroup
communication with Gmail and Google Calendar
Messaging overview
Google Apps messaging tools include email, calendar and instant messaging
solutions that help employees communicate and stay connected, wherever and
whenever they work. These web-based services can be securely accessed from
any browser, work on mobile devices like BlackBerry and iPhone, and integrate
with other popular email systems like Microsoft Outlook, Apple Mail, and more.
What’s more, Google Apps’ SAML-based Single Sign-On (SSO) capability integrates
seamlessly with existing enterprise security and authentication services. Google
Apps deliver productivity and reduce IT workload with a hosted, 99.9% uptime
solution that gets teams working together fast.

Gmail

Get control of spam Advanced filters keep spam from employees’ inboxes so they
can focus on messages that matter, and IT admins can focus on other initiatives.
Keep all your email 25 GB of storage per user means that inbox quotas and
deletion schedules are a thing of the past.
Integrated instant messaging Connect with contacts instantly without launching a
separate application or leaving your inbox. No software required.
Built-in voice and video chat Voice and video conversations, integrated into Gmail,
make it easy to connect face-to-face with co-workers around the world.
Find messages instantly Powerful Google search technology is built into Gmail,
turning your inbox into your own private and secure Google search engine for email.
Protect and secure sensitive information Additional spam filtering from Postini
provides employees with an additional layer of protection and policy-enforced
encryption between domains using standard TLS protocols. Centrally-managed
content filters enable companies to create custom inbound and outbound policies
to keep sensitive information safe.
Mobile integration Email and IM are easily accessible on the iPhone, BlackBerry, or
other smart phones through client applications or web interfaces optimized to run
on mobile browsers.
Google Apps: easy, collaborative workgroup communication with Gmail and Google Calendar
Migrate existing email Built-in migration tools let you easily migrate email from
legacy systems into Google Apps email accounts.

Google Calendar

Easily schedule appointments Schedule appointments, meetings, and events. Easily
enter meeting details online and let Google Calendar send invitations and update
RSVPs. Overlay multiple calendars to see when people – or rooms – are available.
Share project calendars Calendars can be shared company-wide or with select
co-workers. Users can select from a range of permission settings when sharing
calendars with others – choosing who sees event details or makes calendar changes.
Embed calendar on web pages Embed a daily, weekly, or monthly calendar in
Google Sites or on any web page; no programming required.
Publish calendars Publicize external company events by publishing a calendar and
making it searchable to the world in the Google Calendar gallery.
Mobile access View and edit event details, add new events, and invite guests, using
mobile devices like BlackBerry and iPhone. Receive calendar notifications via SMS.

Google Groups

Create online communities and share information via email or web discussions.
Employees can create and manage groups without IT support. Google Groups is
available within Google Apps Premier and Google Apps Education Editions.
Securely share content with a group Share Google Docs, Calendar, Sites, and
Videos with a group instead of individuals. Members can be added to and removed
from the group allowing the group owner to manage who has access to content.
Browse and search group archives Group members can access and search
archives of mail sent to their lists to efficiently find topics of interest.
Customizable settings Group owners have fine controls to manage their groups.
This includes the ability to set up domain specific mailing addresses which can
be used for internal or external purposes and moderate messages if approval is
required before message distribution.
