In 1872, it became home to the world’s first national park – Yellowstone. In 1925, its citizens elected Nellie Tayloe Ross the first woman governor of a U.S. state.

Over the next two weeks, all of the airline’s 1,700 employees based across North America will be moving their corporate email to Gmail, and collaborating more efficiently using Google Calendar, Google Docs and Google Talk.

We’re eager to bring the latest and greatest tech innovations not only to our guests—but also to our teammates. The transition to a cloud-based email system allows us to save costs and increase the speed and efficiency of our platforms, so we can focus on what we do best: elevating the flying experience. Google answers our data and connectivity needs better than any other system. Google Apps allow us to stay ahead of the competition by remaining flexible and efficient since we can upgrade based on the latest technology, and not be confined by budget or staffing to out-of-date systems. Once you have Google Apps, you always have the most recent version.</blockquote>As a leading airline innovator, Virgin America has had a history of cloud firsts: in November 2008, Virgin America launched in-flight Internet with a <a href="http://www.virginamerica.com/press-release/2008/launches-gogo-inflight-internet-service-and-youtube-air.html">first-ever "air-to-ground" video stream to YouTube Live</a>.

In Oregon, local governments like Multnomah County have faced difficult budget circumstances and diminishing resources for many years, while experiencing growing demand for services. In order to effectively continue providing needed services in our community, it’s critical that we seek ways to become ever more innovative and efficient.<br /><br />Switching to Google Apps plays an important role in achieving these goals. This new environment increases government transparency by allowing employees complete access to email and information on demand, vastly improving employee efficiency and collaboration while saving taxpayers approximately $100,000 each year in licensing and related costs and up to $500,000 in staff time and staff costs.<br /><br />This transition was informed by a careful analysis to evaluate our technology needs and options. Multnomah County considered two cloud-based options for replacing our old system for email, calendar and contacts. We selected Google Apps due to its low cost, ease of use, and innovative capabilities that will allow county employees to be more collaborative and productive in their jobs.<br /><br />With 250 times the email storage of our prior email system, Google Apps will save employees considerable time previously spent deleting or archiving old emails, while allowing each department to follow specified email retention policies. The web based technology means employees can access their information from any internet-connected device.<br /><br />New collaborative tools like searchable instant messaging and real-time collaboration in word processing and spreadsheets provide Multnomah employees with useful and innovative tools to help them do their jobs. In fact, the independent analysis found that the document sharing capabilities of Google Docs meet the needs of the vast majority of county employees.<br /><br />Currently, every county employee is licensed to use the complete suite of Microsoft Office applications, but many staff members only use a small portion of those features. Google Apps provides Multnomah County with equivalent capabilities for no additional cost. Many employees will be able able to do their jobs without those costly software packages in the future.<br /><br />As an added benefit, all county employees now have a shorter email address. That makes our email addresses easier to remember and much simpler to share with members of the public and those with whom we conduct business.<br /><br />We began testing Google Apps with a small group of IT users and expanded that to a pilot of 150 and later 500 county employees. These employees came from a variety of county agencies and allowed us to identify and work through any issues with the migration. Our workforce has shown a high degree of interest and engagement in the project and have demonstrated that we’re ready to learn, explore and collaborate.

In fact, the independent analysis found that the document sharing capabilities of Google Docs meet the needs of the vast majority of county employees.<br /><br />Currently, every county employee is licensed to use the complete suite of Microsoft Office applications, but many staff members only use a small portion of those features. Google Apps provides Multnomah County with equivalent capabilities for no additional cost. Many employees will be able able to do their jobs without those costly software packages in the future.<br /><br />As an added benefit, all county employees now have a shorter email address. That makes our email addresses easier to remember and much simpler to share with members of the public and those with whom we conduct business.<br /><br />We began testing Google Apps with a small group of IT users and expanded that to a pilot of 150 and later 500 county employees. These employees came from a variety of county agencies and allowed us to identify and work through any issues with the migration. Our workforce has shown a high degree of interest and engagement in the project and have demonstrated that we’re ready to learn, explore and collaborate.

We provide investment advisory services, portfolio management, and marketing support for our clients, and are expanding rapidly - we’ve already outgrown our current office space, two years ahead of plan.<br /><br />Such fast growth prompted us to focus more on technology and find ways to remove communication barriers for all employees. So we switched to Google Apps earlier this year and are already using many of the products in the suite including Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Docs, and Google Sites.

We’re trying to put as much as we can into a Google spreadsheet or document.<br /><br />Shared Google Calendars are used to track time-off, conferences, committee meetings, and individuals’ travel schedules. This is a critical component of our internal communication strategy since Managing Directors and other executives travel as much as 40 - 50% of the year. This same group is reliant on mobile phones, and use either iPhones or BlackBerry devices to access Gmail and other applications, while they’re on the go.<br /><br />As the company grows, it has become harder to locate and share updated information and policies across all employees. Google Sites is solving this problem – we built an intranet that includes links to shared calendars, client websites, group email aliases, expense reports, gift matching instructions, and investment policies. A Google form is also embedded in the site so employees can submit vacation requests that are updated directly in our HR manager’s spreadsheet. In time, we plan to add even more to the site – we’re already showing gadgets with intra-day performance of market indexes across the world, and we’d like to add a map of client locations and charts outlining our company assets over time.<br /><br />Aside from helping us create more efficient business processes, Google Apps has become a key part of our business continuity plan.

Everything now runs smoothly with no intervention from us.<br /><br /><span class="byline-author">Posted by Tom Ray, Melrose Resources plc</span> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2010/10/melrose-resources-goes-google-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:Melrose Resources goes Google for reliability and uptime&url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2010/10/melrose-resources-goes-google-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/2010/10/melrose-resources-goes-google-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/2010/10/melrose-resources-goes-google-for.html' data-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2010/10/melrose-resources-goes-google-for.html' style='color: #4184F3;'></span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2010/10/melrose-resources-goes-google-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/gonegoogle' rel='tag'> gonegoogle </a> , <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='3586454288341264311' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2010/10/q310-spam-virus-trends-from-postini.html' itemprop='url' title='Q3’10 spam & virus trends from Postini'> Q3’10 spam & virus trends from Postini </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> Monday, October 18, 2010 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> <span style="font-style:italic;">Editor's note: The spam data cited in this post is drawn from the network of Google email security and archiving services, powered by Postini, that process more than 3 billion email messages per day.

August saw a massive 241% increase in virus volume over July, representing the greatest recorded surge in viral activity since 2008. Overall, payload virus volume increased 42% over Q2’10 and 10% over Q3’09, while spam levels decreased 16% and 24% over the same periods, respectively.

This virus surge is even more pronounced than last October’s, when Mega-D, a top-ten botnet, infected over 250,000 computers worldwide before being shut down by a carefully orchestrated campaign by security professionals. This recent increase in viral activity could indicate a “gearing up” as spammers attempt to construct botnets in time for the holiday season and increased consumer spending.

And since holidays mean more shopping, here at Google our <a href="//www.google.com/commercesearch/#utm_campaign=GCS10/14/2010&utm_source=en-na-us-blog-GCS10/14/2010&utm_medium=blog">Commerce Search</a> team has been working very hard to help get your retail websites ready for the business boom.<br /><br />For most retail businesses the holiday season can be the busiest time of the year, and we want to help you get excited about it. We’ve been listening to your feedback and noticed that many of you desire a greater ability to customize your site search so that it’s exactly the way you want it. Today we are pleased announce that we are giving you your holiday gift early, and in the form of three new customization features.<br /><br />1. <span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Control over auto-completions</span></span>. Query auto-completion leverages the machine learning of Google to automatically provide a relevant list of suggestions every time a user types a search query on your site. While this eliminates the need for manual entry of query suggestions, many of you still wanted administrative control.<br /><br />With this feature, users can now control their auto-completions. Let’s say you are an online candy reseller and typing “ch” triggers “cherry cough drops” and not “chocolate covered almonds,” your most popular treat.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="//1.bp.blogspot.com/_rQ7gtz3aOJQ/TLibJ8cjxQI/AAAAAAAAABs/6EpZWZvgKO4/s1600/Screen+shot+2010-10-15+at+11.18.21+AM.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5528339137744323842" src="//1.bp.blogspot.com/_rQ7gtz3aOJQ/TLibJ8cjxQI/AAAAAAAAABs/6EpZWZvgKO4/s400/Screen+shot+2010-10-15+at+11.18.21+AM.png" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 199px;"></a><br />You can add “cherry cough drops” to your list of exclusions and “chocolate covered almonds” to your list of inclusions to display the auto-completions you prefer.

We have made it easier to build navigation features by auto-populating the options based on what we know about your specified attribute. So, if you want to build a facet around “shirts,” options for price, color, size, and any of your own particulars will be listed automatically. This makes it simple to customize search results.<br /><br />3. <span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Improved Documentation</span></span>. Now you can find information about how to customize your search with improved documentation and code samples. These can be found at the <a href="http://code.google.com/apis/commercesearch/">GCS code page</a>.<br /><br />These new features can be activated today by visiting your GCS control panel, and we hope that while you’re eating Halloween treats you’ll utilize them to prepare your e-commerce site for the holiday rush.

We have made it easier to build navigation features by auto-populating the options based on what we know about your specified attribute. So, if you want to build a facet around “shirts,” options for price, color, size, and any of your own particulars will be listed automatically. This makes it simple to customize search results.<br /><br />3. <span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Improved Documentation</span></span>. Now you can find information about how to customize your search with improved documentation and code samples. These can be found at the <a href="http://code.google.com/apis/commercesearch/">GCS code page</a>.<br /><br />These new features can be activated today by visiting your GCS control panel, and we hope that while you’re eating Halloween treats you’ll utilize them to prepare your e-commerce site for the holiday rush.

All of our employees are passionate about music, and many play guitar or other instruments. Working with a bunch of musicians creates a fun, creative workplace, but not always a very structured environment. We needed an email system that didn’t tie our team to the office, but allowed us to work together and stay connected wherever we may be.

We not only publish a print version of our magazine, we make all of our content, current and archival, freely accessible over 5 different platforms. We’re able to successfully compete with some of the older print centric publications out there because we’re lean and we can get stories up quickly. That requires a lot of team work. Google Docs allows us to work on a story from wherever we are and get it published quickly. It would never be possible to work as efficiently or collectively if we had to wait for a new version of a document to be sent to us before we could publish.<br /><br />Often our writers and photographers will need to drop everything to hop on a plane for a last minute factory tour, or an interview with an artist. One of the reasons we started using Google Apps is the ability to access our email and calendars on our mobile phones or anywhere with an internet connection. With Google Apps, we know where the team is and what’s due based on our shared calendars. Our company calendar and editorial calendars are kept up to date so we can get our stories out quickly. Plus, we can always just hop on Chat to ask each other questions or find out the status of a shoot or a photo shoot or piece. Being able to just ask a co-worker a quick question instead of sending them an email and waiting for a response has really helped keep projects moving along.<br /><br />Apps helps us stay connected and work together, while still having fun doing what we love.

But like any good commencement address will tell you, this is only the beginning. <br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><embed flashvars="host=picasaweb.google.com&hl=en_US&feat=flashalbum&RGB=0x000000&feed=http%3A%2F%2Fpicasaweb.google.com%2Fdata%2Ffeed%2Fapi%2Fuser%2Fg.apps.education%2Falbumid%2F5527862394412272129%3Falt%3Drss%26kind%3Dphoto%26hl%3Den_US" height="267" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" src="//picasaweb.google.com/s/c/bin/slideshow.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400"></embed></div><br /><span class="byline-author">Posted by Miriam Schneider, Google Apps for Education Team</span> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2010/10/strike-up-band-over-10-million-have.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:Strike up the band: over 10 million have gone Google with Apps for Education&url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2010/10/strike-up-band-over-10-million-have.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/2010/10/strike-up-band-over-10-million-have.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/2010/10/strike-up-band-over-10-million-have.html' data-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2010/10/strike-up-band-over-10-million-have.html' style='color: #4184F3;'></span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2010/10/strike-up-band-over-10-million-have.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/education' rel='tag'> education </a> , <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/university' rel='tag'> university </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='9058563034762552334' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2010/10/be-next-gone-google-ad.html' itemprop='url' title='Be the Next Gone Google Ad'> Be the Next Gone Google Ad </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> Tuesday, October 12, 2010 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> [cross-posted from the <a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/10/be-next-gone-google-ad.html">Official Google Blog</a>]<br /><br />A little over a year ago, we began the <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2009/08/join-millions-who-have-gonegoogle.html">"Go Google" campaign</a> with just a single billboard in four US cities.

Today we’d like to share some more thoughts on making the most of Gmail.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Save time with Priority Inbox</span><br />A busy day often affords few email breaks. When you do get a chance to scan your mail, <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2010/08/email-overload-try-priority-inbox.html">Priority Inbox</a> helps you prioritize by identifying the messages that require your immediate attention. Gmail uses a variety of signals to predict which messages are important, including the people you email most and which messages you open and reply to. The best part is it gets better the more you use it. Turn on and manage Priority Inbox in your mail Settings – and read our tips to <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2010/09/5-tips-for-using-priority-inbox.html">become a real Priority Inbox whiz</a>!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="//3.bp.blogspot.com/_XfdGq25uiVg/TK5Y5X5hNUI/AAAAAAAAAHQ/xuq6k3IPlZo/s1600/screen-capture-101.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525451535521232194" src="//3.bp.blogspot.com/_XfdGq25uiVg/TK5Y5X5hNUI/AAAAAAAAAHQ/xuq6k3IPlZo/s400/screen-capture-101.png" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 148px;"></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Seamless chat, video and calling</span><br />We work with people in multiple ways, and Gmail makes it easy for you to choose the most effective means to communicate: email, chat, text messaging, video chats and phone calls are all available from your inbox. For example, <a href="//www.google.com/support/chat/bin/answer.py?answer=159499#utm_campaign=gogoogle&utm_source=en-entblog-na-us-GettingmostoutofGmail_10072010&utm_medium=blog10072010&utm_medium=blog">voice and video chat</a> lets you have an actual conversation with someone or meet face-to-face in <a href="http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2010/09/new-in-labs-video-chat-enhancements.html">brilliant resolution</a>.

Gmail has some helpful features that let you quickly view attachments without the need to open or download them on client-side software. The <a href="http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/view-doc-attachments-right-in-your.html">Google Docs Viewer</a> allows you to view .doc, .pdf, .ppt and other attachments in a new browser tab simply by clicking the "View" link at the bottom of a Gmail message.

In the first couple years of business it became evident that our clients and their subscribers wanted to have American-based customer service. Our clients were not happy with the off-shore customer service we were providing and we were having difficulties winning new business. As a customer service outsourcer the challenge was finding a way to provide the American customer service they desired at a price point they could afford.<br /><br />To save our business we ended up rethinking our business model and looking to the cloud to drive down costs and increase our efficiency. The first change was migrating to a call center in the cloud platform which enabled us to recruit, train and route calls to rural American home-based employees who needed and wanted the work. With this technology solution in place we began bringing our call center jobs back to America. As of May of last year we are a 100% American customer service organization. <br /><br />The second change was moving from Microsoft Exchange to Google Apps in 2009, which allowed us to more efficiently and effectively collaborate with our employees and clients spread out across the United States.<br /><br />Today we maintain a small office in North Carolina and a technical assistance center and network operations center in Montana. The rest of our management team is spread out between Arizona, Colorado, Kentucky, Georgia and Nebraska. Our entire customer support team works from home. <br /><br />Tools that fostered collaboration were absolutely essential to running our business. Each manager and their team really live in the Google Apps environment. All of their meetings are done through Google Docs and video chats. I’ve never met 90% of our employees in person. Every meeting agenda is built off of a doc with everyone logged into the same doc at the same time, taking notes and keeping track of next steps as we move along through the meeting agenda. Plus, our clients across the country have started getting used to the value of moving away from attachments to using Google Docs. Working together internally and externally is so much easier when we’re always sure we’re looking at the most current document and you can collaborate on it in real-time.<br /><br />Google Sites is also a key aspect of our business operations. We create a custom site for each of our clients that contains the most frequently asked questions, their unique policies and procedures, and other useful information for our teams. Sites allows us to keep all information in one place that everyone on the team can update and reference.<br /><br />We had initially looked at Google Apps for its 25 GB of mail and shared calendars, but it’s Google Sites, Docs and Talk that allow us to communicate successfully and efficiently so that we can support customers with a team all over the country.
