Google Apps Reseller 

Google Apps is a powerful, cost-effective tool that allows small and medium-sized businesses to run their companies more efficiently and collaboratively.

WRIS Web Services is proud to be an authorized reseller of Google Apps.  Below we answer some common questions about the product. 

 Why should I replace my Exchange server with Google Apps? 

For small and medium-sized organizations with limited technical staff, Exchange can be cumbersome to administer.  Google Apps provides a streamlined solution that requires no hardware or software and is completely on the "cloud". 

Thanks to our Google Apps reseller partnership, you get the best of both worlds in terms of support.  WRIS provides convenient, personalized services and Google provides its industry leading technology services.

What does it cost?

Google Apps is surprisingly affordable.  Most organizations find that they get more for less with Google Apps.  But don’t take our word for it – check out this Google Apps versus Microsoft Exchange cost calculator.

Can I still use Outlook?

Of course!  With Google Apps for Business you get 25GB of storage space (which is a lot!), interoperability with Microsoft Outlook and Blackberry systems, unlimited users and a bunch of fancy security options.  And it's compatible with your mobile device, be it iPhone, Android, Blackberry or Windows Mobile.

How about spam filtering?

Google’s best of breed email filtering services, Google Message Services (aka Postini), is included.  WRIS is an authorized Postini Reseller.

Besides email, what does Google Apps give me?

In addition to being a powerful email solution, Google Apps provides a variety of highly useful business productivity tools.  One of the most popular is Google Docs which allows multiple people to edit documents online.  Some of the other great tools are calendaring, Google Video and Google Groups.

I thought Google Apps was free.  Why are you selling it?

Some portions of the Google Apps product suite are free.  However, many of the items that appeal to small and medium-sized businesses Google charges for (you will hear it called “Google Apps for Business” sometimes).  For example, you can only get Outlook connectivity with the paid version of Google Apps.  The free version also limits the number of users as well as the amount of storage space.
