Google Apps?

[Easto]

I was told that our office is going to migrate over and use Google apps. I'm not really sure what that means and how it stacks up against having our own mail server etc.

Any comments or experience with this?

A lot of small business offices are using Google Apps instead of having their own Exchange Server locally.

EMail, Calendar, good spam filtering, docs & sites, connect smart phones easily, access from anywhere, other cool stuff.

Thanks, I took a look at the site last night but I was still a little unsure how were going to do it. All I knew was our IT guy turned to me as he left and said "Oh yeah, we're moving to google apps" and then left.

We use live.com stuff I think.
