To support the map feature, we established blogs for each state to share detailed information and updates about projects underway. Communities are encouraged to share their stories through this feature as well.<br /><br />In July the Department of Housing and Urban Development joined the effort, followed by the Department of Commerce in August, allowing the public to search for and track a larger set of projects.

With 400 employees – and growing fast – our existing infrastructure was buckling under the pressure. We were experiencing delays in email and spent too much time administering the server and dealing with crashes.<br /><br />I had been a Microsoft Exchange user and administrator for more than 10 years, so I assumed we’d go with Microsoft Exchange and Outlook clients. Then I thought about our overtaxed IT staff of five, and what would be required from them to set up and run Exchange. We would need to purchase, configure, integrate, manage and maintain many hardware and software components. We would also have to worry about our 50 mobile users and managing client software for their devices, too. I was also thinking about the cost for all of the required hardware and software. It would be a significant investment.<br /><br />Then we started looking at Google Apps. The move to a cloud computing model really made sense for us because we wouldn’t have to worry about mail servers, updates to the software, backups, softwarerollouts to desktops or mobile users, and constant maintenance. Google Apps’ features met our requirements and provided 50-85% in cost savings to maintaining our old system or moving to Microsoft Exchange – either on-premise or hosted. With Google Apps, we got a complete messaging solution with anti-spam protection, disaster recovery and a 99.9%uptime SLA built-in. We also got features for collaboration that came as an extra bonus to email – and we're now looking at different ways to use Google Sites and Google Docs to improve our collaboration, internally and with customers. But probably the feature that our employees love the most is chat, including video chat, which is fully integrated and included in the suite of apps.<br /><br /></span> <span style="font-size:100%;">You can learn a bit more about our experience on this YouTube video:<br /><br /> <object height="340" width="560"><param name="movie" value="//www.youtube.com/v/5jeEvzAswLo&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="//www.youtube.com/v/5jeEvzAswLo&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object> </span></div> <div> <span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span> </div> <div><span style="font-size:100%;"> Our migration didn't come without some hiccups.

While he was working on the website redesigns, he noticed that the company was struggling with its email service and needed a better solution.<br /><br />Among other things, the small company was tired of spam and problems with outbound mail flow. Employees also wanted to share calendars, schedule resources, and publish fitness schedules on its website without having to buy more software.<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br /><br />Jeff reviewed our </span><a href="http://docs.google.com/present/view?id=ddphq9p3_176fksq6hdc&utm_campaign=AccessFMS&utm_medium=blog&utm_source=google_enterprise_blog_090730" id="oca7" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" target="_blank" title="8 Things to Consider Before Investing in MS Exchange">presentation comparing Google Apps with an in-house Microsoft Exchange</a><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"> solution and did the math</span>. Setting up an in-house email system was never going to happen: hardware, software, networking, security, administration, and backups would be too much for a company that must keep its overhead trim. Jeff and Fitness Management Services (FMS) knew right away that a hosted solution was the way to go.<br /><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br /><b>A serious contender in hosted solutions</b><br />A hosted solution would provide a fully managed service and infrastructure, simple pricing, no specialized hardware or software to maintain, and no need to add storage capacity or manage complex backups. After reviewing multiple options, they came to a clear decision: Google Apps<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"> was the best choice given the capacity, features, and low cost</span>. Other providers offered a mere 4GB of storage space, while Google Apps offered 25GB. And we liked the other features. Google Apps provided integrated instant messaging, VoIP and video, as well as tools for web-based collaboration as part of the package.<br /><br />The list went on and on – with the pluses in terms of features, capacity, and cost as well as scalability and easy integration all weighing in on the Google Apps side of the balance sheet. We evaluated the feature enhancements and savings potential and shared it with the FMS team. </span></span> <div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;"> <span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br />When Jeff called about Google Apps Premier Edition and put us in touch with Joe Santa Maria, VP of Business Development for FMS, the fit was obvious.

While he was working on the website redesigns, he noticed that the company was struggling with its email service and needed a better solution.<br /><br />Among other things, the small company was tired of spam and problems with outbound mail flow. Employees also wanted to share calendars, schedule resources, and publish fitness schedules on its website without having to buy more software.<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br /><br />Jeff reviewed our </span><a href="http://docs.google.com/present/view?id=ddphq9p3_176fksq6hdc&utm_campaign=AccessFMS&utm_medium=blog&utm_source=google_enterprise_blog_090730" id="oca7" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" target="_blank" title="8 Things to Consider Before Investing in MS Exchange">presentation comparing Google Apps with an in-house Microsoft Exchange</a><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"> solution and did the math</span>. Setting up an in-house email system was never going to happen: hardware, software, networking, security, administration, and backups would be too much for a company that must keep its overhead trim. Jeff and Fitness Management Services (FMS) knew right away that a hosted solution was the way to go.<br /><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br /><b>A serious contender in hosted solutions</b><br />A hosted solution would provide a fully managed service and infrastructure, simple pricing, no specialized hardware or software to maintain, and no need to add storage capacity or manage complex backups. After reviewing multiple options, they came to a clear decision: Google Apps<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"> was the best choice given the capacity, features, and low cost</span>. Other providers offered a mere 4GB of storage space, while Google Apps offered 25GB. And we liked the other features. Google Apps provided integrated instant messaging, VoIP and video, as well as tools for web-based collaboration as part of the package.<br /><br />The list went on and on – with the pluses in terms of features, capacity, and cost as well as scalability and easy integration all weighing in on the Google Apps side of the balance sheet. We evaluated the feature enhancements and savings potential and shared it with the FMS team. </span></span> <div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:arial;"> <span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br />When Jeff called about Google Apps Premier Edition and put us in touch with Joe Santa Maria, VP of Business Development for FMS, the fit was obvious.
