Got Google? On-Ramp service for Google Apps offered at no cost!
Posted by Kevin Lalor in GoogleApps & Postini on October 24th, 2011
With the purchase of Google Apps in October and November, Bi101 will provide On-Ramp service at a $600 discount*.
Are you ready to go Google? Seems like everyone is going Google around us – the Business Times just reported that in Silicon Valley 97% of startups within the last two years are running on Google Apps. There are tons of cities booming with startups and other small and medium-sized businesses, and they all have one thing in common: they are benefiting from taking a 100% web approach. Google Apps allows you to focus on your business, not your IT.
This rapid adoption could be partly because Google Apps are allowing you to be productive anywhere, anytime. Flexibility is key as more companies need to do work on the go – while at the airport, in a coffee shop or at a hotel using a public wireless network. The great thing about Google Apps is that it protects your data by establishing an encrypted connection while you work. Without it, an unauthorized person could hack into your session and obtain access to your account.
Using an Internet standard known as HTTPS, Google will encrypt your data as it travels from your browser to their servers. This makes it much harder for an impostor to access your account. Google has supported encrypted connections from the day Google Apps launched over five years ago, and they made it the default setting for all users at the beginning of last year.

Best practices, strategic advice and hands off implementation help. Up to 5 hours of consulting to be delivered over 5 weeks.
