The costs associated with using Exchange Server technology can be excruciatingly painful to any business\' budget. Having your own in-house server definitely served an important purpose at one time. So did having an Outhouse and an Oil lamp. Times are changing, and they are changing at light speeds!
If you currently are using a server, you probably spend somewhere between $300 and $1000 per year, per user to maintain the server, software, spam filters and associated elements. With Google Apps, the first level of service is FREE. Yes...I said FREE! The next level of service (if you can\'t get by on 7 GB of email storage), is only $50 per user, per year. The second level is the Premier Edition.
