The new service, which is claimed by the company to be far cheaper than dedicated Exchange Server software, will be available to ‘Premier and Education’ customers, and is said to offer a wide range of services including hosted email, calendar, online word processors and spreadsheets, and a lot more, for around $50 per user, per year.
The search engine giant touted its new application by saying, “Now businesses can run Microsoft Outlook on Google Apps instead of Microsoft Exchange, so they can achieve the cost savings, security and reliability of Google Apps while employees use the interface they prefer for email, contacts and calendar”.
Furthermore, the new tool also supports some of the advanced MS Outlook features, including global address lists as well as the feature of checking colleagues’ calendars automatically for free meeting slot.
