1. Google Apps in Colleges and Universities

2. What is Google Apps?

3. Google Apps is a service from Google providing independently
customizable versions of several Google products under a custom
domain name(college or university domain name). It features
several Web applications with similar functionality to
traditional office suites, including Gmail, Google Groups, Google
Calendar, Talk, Docs and Sites. It is a powerful tool for
communication and collaboration.

4. Benefits
Everything your college needs

5. Security and privacy first
Google Apps for Education includes dozens of critical security features
specifically designed to keep your data safe, secure and in your control. Your
data belongs to you and Apps tools enable you to control it, including who you
share it with and how you share it. Our data center network provides
exceptional security and guarantees* reliable access to your data, 24x7x365.25
(that’s right: no rest, even on leap years).

6. Stay connected from anywhere
With Google Apps for Education, everything is automatically saved in the cloud -
100% powered by the web. This means that emails, documents, calendar and
sites can be accessed - and edited - on almost any mobile device or tablet.
Anytime, anywhere.

7. Get stuff done faster
Google Apps for Education can help streamline academic tasks like essay
writing and class scheduling. A group of students can work together on a
piece of work in Google Docs, seeing changes in real time rather than
waiting for versions to be sent via email. Students can see exactly when
their professors are available and vice versa with Google Calendar. By
removing these time-consuming bottlenecks, Apps frees you up to spend
more time on learning and teaching.

8. Invisible IT that just works
Spend less time managing your IT infrastructure. Your students, teachers
and administrators always have access to the latest software, including
the newest features and security updates. You don’t need to buy or
maintain servers and everything can be managed from a single interface.
And yes, it really is free.

9. Go Green
Moving to Google Apps helps reduce both your organization’s overall
expenses and its environmental impact. Apps is powered by Google's
energy-efficient data centers, so it’s less energy and carbon-intensive
than on-premise servers.
