Why Google Apps?

Avec Solutions recommends Google Apps as a full-featured replacement for traditional onsite mail and groupware servers like Microsoft Exchange.

Google Apps Premier Edition is just £33 ($50) per user per year, representing a huge savings over the cost of installing and maintaining your own server, yet offering 25GB storage per user and a 99.9% uptime guarantee.

Avec recommends the advanced features of the Premier Edition, but not-for-profit organisations may also opt for the free Standard Edition, which comes with 7GB storage per user.
