Comparing Google Apps with Outlook

Presented by Laura Quinn and Larry Velez

Google Apps provides a compelling set of features - from email to calendars to a organizational portal to shared documents - that gives Outlook a run for its money at a fraction of the  cost.  We'll demo the main components of Google Apps, talk about administrating it as an organization, and show how it compares to Microsoft Outlook.  This session is geared for those familiar with Outlook who want an introduction to Google Apps.

By the end of the session, you will understand:
- How, at a high level, Google Apps features compare to Outlook features for email, calendaring, and shared documents
- Key considerations in deciding whether Google Apps is likely to be right for you
- Options for administrating Google Apps and Outlook, including combinations of the two
