About

Microsoft knows productivity. Our approach is to build productivity tools that help your users do their jobs effectively and efficiently across the PC, phone, and browser.

The right tools for the right users.

Your organization has diverse needs. With Microsoft, IT can deliver the right set of tools for the right users—all with appropriate layers of security and compliance.

Why complicate things for your people?

In contrast, Google Apps is an ever-changing solution that includes experimental features which can increase complexity and the need for change management and training.

Microsoft is better suited to meet the needs of your business, both today and tomorrow. We invite you to compare our capabilities with Google Apps.

Best Productivity Experience

Microsoft products are familiar and easy to use, so all your people—whether they’re power users or casual workers—can use the same tools to work together efficiently. With our software, users can:

• Bring ideas to life by leveraging insights to make quicker, more informed decisions.
• Help your people access information virtually anywhere, so they can respond more quickly and remain productive on the go.
• Make it easy to collaborate and share information with confidence.

Google Apps is unfamiliar and oversimplified. In fact, Google’s own executives admit they don’t believe their tools can replace Microsoft Office.

IT Choice and Value

The future of software is less about one delivery model over another and more about the content and information flow across a world of devices and services. With this in mind, Microsoft builds business productivity infrastructure with the choice and flexibility you need to meet these challenges.

Don’t box in your business with an IT ultimatum.

Google Apps only delivers their solutions online. That means limited choice and forces you to move to the cloud immediately.

Unified Business Platform

Give yourself the ability to adapt, scale, and extend your platform.

Microsoft delivers key business solutions like content management, enterprise search, and collaboration that work together via a single platform allowing you to save money.

Think about real costs.

Google Apps offer an attractive initial license cost, but it can increase operational costs in other ways. For example, you may have to deploy additional technologies to integrate Google into your organization or invest in user training, which raises costs.
