Google Apps brings together essential services to help your business, school, group or family communicate and collaborate
more effectively. These services are powerful, easy to set up, require no maintenance, and you can get them for free.
Everything is unified by the Start Page, a central place for your users to preview their inboxes and calendars, access your
essential content, and search the web. Administrators can choose to deploy a mix of the communication and collaboration
products listed below.
Communicate and connect
-
Gmail - Offer custom email addresses to your organization with up to 10 gigabytes of storage for each account,
search tools to help people find information fast, plus instant messaging and calendar tools built right into the
email interface.
-
Google Talk - Your users can call or send instant messages to their contacts for free - anytime, anywhere in the
world. File sharing and voicemail is included, too.
-
Google Calendar - Your users can organize their schedules and share events, meetings and entire calendars with
others. Your organization can also publish calendars and events on the web.
Collaborate and publish
-
Google Docs & Spreadsheets - Your users can create documents and spreadsheets and collaborate with each other in
real-time on documents and spreadsheets right inside a web browser window.
-
The Start Page - A central place for your users to preview their inboxes and calendars, access your essential content,
and search the web.
-
Google Page Creator - Create and publish web pages for your domain quickly and easily with this
what-you-see-is-what-you-get page design tool.
Manage your services
-
Online control panel - Add, remove and modify user accounts, mailing lists and user aliases right from your browser.
If you prefer not to modify accounts one-by-one, use the bulk account update tool to upload changes from a spreadsheet
file. Access the tools to update your web pages and your Start Page from the control panel, too.
-
Extensibility APIs - Connect Google Apps Premier and Education Editions to your other IT infrastructure for user
directory synchronization, single sign-on, to enable a mail gateway or to integrate with third-party systems.
-
Getting help - Get answers to your questions from our comprehensive online knowledge base, or participate in our
Google-moderated user-to-user support community. We also respond to support questions over email, and offer 24/7
assistance, including online and phone support, for administrators using Google Apps Premier and Education Editions.
