Fendalton School's new web site, <a title="FOS Live" href="http://www.fendalton.school.nz/foslive/" id="e3-9">FOS Live</a>, is driven through Google docs and pulls in RSS feeds from class blogs to share learning as it happens in classrooms.<br /></p><p id="dy6s" style="margin-top: 0.19in; margin-bottom: 0.19in; font-family: Arial;">This has the potential to reduce traditional barriers between home and the school.

This improvement offers two-way synchronization between your BlackBerry's built-in address book and your Google Apps contacts automatically over the air.<br /><br />To use Google Sync or upgrade from the older version, visit <span style="font-weight: bold;">m.google.com/sync</span> from your BlackBerry browser.<br /><br />By the way, Google Apps supports mobile access on many different phones, so take a look at our other <a href="//www.google.com/apps/intl/en/business/mobile.html">Google Apps mobile options</a>. </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2008/11/contact-syncing-with-blackberry-devices.html'> <img alt='Share on Google+' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/branding/google_plus/2x/ic_w_post_gplus_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='twitter-custom social-wrapper' data-href='http://twitter.com/share?text=Official Google Cloud Blog:Contact syncing with BlackBerry devices now available&url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2008/11/contact-syncing-with-blackberry-devices.html&via=gsuite'> <img alt='Share on Twitter' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_twitter_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='fb-custom social-wrapper' data-href='https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2008/11/contact-syncing-with-blackberry-devices.html'> <img alt='Share on Facebook' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_facebook_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> </div> <div class='comment-container'> <i class='comment-img material-icons'>  </i> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='4' data-onclick='' data-post-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2008/11/contact-syncing-with-blackberry-devices.html' data-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2008/11/contact-syncing-with-blackberry-devices.html' style='color: #4184F3;'></span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2008/11/contact-syncing-with-blackberry-devices.html' data-viewtype='FILTERED_POSTMOD'></div> <a href='https://plus.google.com/112374322230920073195' rel='author' style='display:none;'> Google </a> <div class='label-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'> Labels: </span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Apps' rel='tag'> Google Apps </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/mobile' rel='tag'> mobile </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='1800974066457072920' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2008/11/calculating-true-cost-of-fighting-spam.html' itemprop='url' title='Calculating the true cost of fighting spam'> Calculating the true cost of fighting spam </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> Wednesday, November 19, 2008 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> In today's economic climate you need to be more efficient with your IT budget.

A key factor for many companies making the switch is cost savings and, as a result, we've seen more IT folks involve their finance counterparts in the decision-making and internal sell process. But even with significant cost savings, IT admins and finance naturally want to understand what risks there might be in moving their companies to Google Apps to decide if their companies are ready for change.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">We thought that one of our customers would be the perfect person to answer these questions.

A key factor for many companies making the switch is cost savings and, as a result, we've seen more IT folks involve their finance counterparts in the decision-making and internal sell process. But even with significant cost savings, IT admins and finance naturally want to understand what risks there might be in moving their companies to Google Apps to decide if their companies are ready for change.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">We thought that one of our customers would be the perfect person to answer these questions.

These Postini powered services provide spam filtering and email archiving to organizations that maintain their own email infrastructure.<br /><br />(1) Our spam protection continues to evolve, this time with NDR (non-delivery receipt) filter improvements.

We've observed that customers' mail servers can send volumes of junk messages, which in most cases are generated when servers are inadvertently configured as an open relay and used by spammers. This creates a number of problems, including the DNS "blacklisting" of the outbound server. Our outbound mail processing now includes spam scanning. This reduces DNS blocking issues and helps raise awareness of possible mail server security issues.<br /><br />(3) Within Message Discovery, administrators can now place a hold on messages of a particular user to prevent them from being removed from the archive.

Premier and Education Edition admins can enable OAuth in the 'Authentication' section of the 'Advanced tools' tab of the Google Apps administrative control panel. </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2008/10/more-powerful-apis-now-available-for.html'> <img alt='Share on Google+' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/branding/google_plus/2x/ic_w_post_gplus_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='twitter-custom social-wrapper' data-href='http://twitter.com/share?text=Official Google Cloud Blog:More powerful APIs now available for managing Google Apps&url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2008/10/more-powerful-apis-now-available-for.html&via=gsuite'> <img alt='Share on Twitter' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_twitter_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='fb-custom social-wrapper' data-href='https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2008/10/more-powerful-apis-now-available-for.html'> <img alt='Share on Facebook' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_facebook_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> </div> <div class='comment-container'> <i class='comment-img material-icons'>  </i> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='0' data-onclick='' data-post-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2008/10/more-powerful-apis-now-available-for.html' data-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2008/10/more-powerful-apis-now-available-for.html' style='color: #4184F3;'></span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2008/10/more-powerful-apis-now-available-for.html' data-viewtype='FILTERED_POSTMOD'></div> <a href='https://plus.google.com/112374322230920073195' rel='author' style='display:none;'> Google </a> <div class='label-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'> Labels: </span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Apps' rel='tag'> Google Apps </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='5390553460068508133' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2008/10/slas-for-google-calendar-docs-sites-and.html' itemprop='url' title='SLAs for Google Calendar, Docs, Sites and Talk'> SLAs for Google Calendar, Docs, Sites and Talk </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> Thursday, October 30, 2008 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Jeremy Milo, Google Apps Marketing Manager</span><br /><br />We've got more good news for Google Apps users.

We also have extended team members in Seattle, Phoenix, and Shanghai. We're a technology company, TechCrunch calls us "<a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/05/20/zuora-the-salesforce-for-online-billing-launches/">The Salesforce of Online Billing</a>".<br /><br />We run our whole company on Google Apps, and have been since day 1. We're on the Premier Edition.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Our email is Gmail.</span> We access it from all sorts of clients -- Outlook, Entourage, Mac Mail, Outlook Express. I personally just use the browser interface. We also access it from our Blackberries and our iPhones. And we use Google Chat for presence and quick chats. Plus, we get 25GB storage a person! That's 100x greater than what each employee used to get at Salesforce. Gmail is great, we have no intention of every going off of it, I've already vetoed our new CFO's request to put in hosted Microsoft Exchange.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">We use Google Calendar.</span> Works great. Fully syncs to my blackberry with Google Sync. Good support for conference rooms, and it even handles invite responses from non-gmail users as well.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">We use Google Documents.</span> Almost all of our files are online. We have proposals, documents, weekly status reports, budget spreadsheets, and our corporate directory, all stored in google documents, and all searchable and easy to find.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">We use Google Sites.</span> Every feature, every project, every client engagement gets a Google Sites page. We create a Site for every department, and everyone in that department subscribes to changes on that Site. Now, I always have a pulse on what each team is working on.<br /><br />In addition, Google Sites has been transformative for our development teams. We have developers in Beijing that work together with our developers here, and the challenge was to get people communicating. Email wasn't working, we could not get developers to actively email... chat was problematic because of the time zone differences. We almost decided to re-structure our teams to minimize the need for cross-city communication. Then we discovered Google Sites. Each developer creates a sites page and then starts writing a tech spec for the feature he is working on. Everyone subscribes to the page, and contributes their opinion, and now the Google Sites has become our primary collaboration tool for working across geographies. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">We use Google Translate.</span> We let our junior guys in Beijing write specs on Google Sites in Chinese... the American dev team can paste that into Google translate, which translates great. No more language barriers.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">We use Google Video.</span> The problem with distributed teams is often, you've never met your teammate. Now, every employee is expected to record a video introducing him or herself and putting it on Google Video. We shoot our team meetings, birthday celebrations, throw it all onGoogle VIdeo, so even though we're in multiple locations, and some of us have never met face to face, we feel like one small team.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">We use the Salesforce.com integration to Google Apps.</span> So, all emails to salesforce contacts actually go through gmail and get stored as an activity, so we have the full history.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">We use Google Analytics.</span> So we always know the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. We do lots of A/B testing, and we always know what are our top referring sites, our top search terms, and the demographics of our web site visitors.<br /><br />And best of all, we have no servers! Nothing to maintain, nothing to backup.<br /><br />In short, Google has been transformative, allowing us to have the nimbleness of a startup but be even more productive that large companies with lots of resources. This is a story waiting to be told!!!<br /><br />- tien<br /><br />Tien Tzuo<br />CEO<br />Zuora, Inc. </script> <noscript> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Kevin Gough, Sr. Product & Marketing Manager</span><br /><br />I was recently forwarded an email from the CEO of Zuora, a Google Apps customer whose company has embraced Apps across the board.
