It’s an Adobe AIR®-based companion that’s automatically installed as part of any new Adobe CS5 product.</div><div><br /></div><div>Launched directly from the Help menu of any CS5 product, the Community Help application enables customers to:</div><div><ul><li>find fast answers with powerful new search options that let them focus results to just Adobe content, community content, developer resources, or even code samples</li><li>download core Adobe Help and language reference content for offline viewing (thanks to the Adobe AIR runtime)</li><li>see what the community thinks is the best, most valuable content via ratings and comments</li><li>share their expertise with others and find out what experts have to say about using their favorite Adobe product</li></ul></div><div><b>Google Site Search: integration and innovation</b></div><div>Under the hood of the Community Help app lies our Google Site Search engine. This search engine searches across about 3000 sites – content such as product Help, language references, Tech Notes, Developer Connection articles, and Adobe TV videos as well as the best online content from the Adobe community. Content is chosen by experts at Adobe and in the design and developer communities, meaning customers find the answers they need faster.</div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks to the robust Google Site Search APIs, the development team was not only able to easily integrate search results but also create unique innovations such as our new Code Search functionality. Formerly known as <a href="http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/blueprint/">Blueprint</a>, this new search option allows Adobe Flash® and Flex developers to search for relevant code samples so that they can write better code, faster.</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5466012373141155378" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jSdgG4-DeNE/S9stSw737jI/AAAAAAAAAYU/KEDG-LvVrxs/s400/Adobe_CH_codesearch.jpg" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 268px; " /></span></div><div><b>A new definition of Help</b></div><div>By combining the best community content with the definitive reference that customers traditionally expect from Adobe, Community Help allows us to expand the definition what help means. Now users can tap into an entire ecosystem of content — one that can dynamically adjust to changing user needs and provide a much richer set of resources over the lifetime of the product.</div><div><br /></div><div>Community Help can also be used as a standalone application. To give it a try, you can <a href="http://www.adobe.com/support/chc/">download it</a> from adobe.com.</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: right;">Mark Nichoson, Product Manager at Adobe Community Help</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">---</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><i>If you’d like to learn more about what Google Site Search can do for your website, join us for this upcoming webinar:</i></div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://googleonline.webex.com/mw0306lb/mywebex/default.do?nomenu=true&siteurl=googleonline&service=6&main_url=https%3A%2F%2Fgoogleonline.webex.com%2Fec0605lb%2Feventcenter%2Fevent%2FeventAction.do%3FtheAction%3Ddetail%26confViewID%3D615982405%26siteurl%3Dgoogleonline%26%26%26">Google Site Search: an introduction</a></div><div>Thursday, May 13, 2010</div><div>11:00 a.m. PDT, 2:00 p.m. EDT, GMT 07:00</div><div><a href="https://googleonline.webex.com/mw0306lb/mywebex/default.do?nomenu=true&siteurl=googleonline&service=6&main_url=https%3A%2F%2Fgoogleonline.webex.com%2Fec0605lb%2Feventcenter%2Fevent%2FeventAction.do%3FtheAction%3Ddetail%26confViewID%3D615982405%26siteurl%3Dgoogleonline%26%26%26">Register here</a> </div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'>Labels:</span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/developers' rel='tag'>developers</a>, <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/Google%20Site%20Search' rel='tag'>Google Site Search</a>, <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/news' rel='tag'>news</a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='1' data-onclick='' data-post-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2010/04/adobe-community-help-and-google-site.html' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2010/04/adobe-community-help-and-google-site.html' style='color: #245dc1;'></span> </span> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='3096411135352038991' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2010/04/update-to-google-maps-in-canada.html' itemprop='url' title='Update to Google Maps in Canada'> Update to Google Maps in Canada </a></h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'><span class='caption'>Posted:</span> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'>Wednesday, April 28, 2010</span> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-wrapper'> <div class='g-plusone' data-href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2010/04/update-to-google-maps-in-canada.html' data-size='medium'></div> </span> <a class='twitter-share-button' data-lang='en' data-related='googleatwork' data-text='Update to Google Maps in Canada' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2010/04/update-to-google-maps-in-canada.html' data-via='googleatwork' href='https://twitter.com/share'>Tweet</a> <iframe allowTransparency='true' frameborder='0' scrolling='no' src='http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2010/04/update-to-google-maps-in-canada.html&layout=button_count&show_faces=false&width=77&action=like&colorscheme=light&height=20' style='border:none; overflow:hidden; width:77px; height:20px;'></iframe> <span class='linkedin-wrapper'> <script src='//platform.linkedin.com/in.js' type='text/javascript'>lang: en_US</script> <script data-counter='right' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2010/04/update-to-google-maps-in-canada.html' type='IN/Share'></script> </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <div>The data that powers API features like the map tiles, geocoding, and driving directions has been updated in Canada!

Everything about our operation is focused on efficiency, so we’re always looking for software solutions that fit that model. We’ve had successes and setbacks in getting our operations into the cloud in a way that works for all of our employees. We needed tools that "just work the way that we work."</div><div><br /></div><div>We use Quickbooks for accounting and have had great success with Google Apps for email and calendar, but had trouble finding a tool that combined the ease of use, power and flexibility we needed to manage the rest of our operations. We tried various CRM, ERP and manufacturing solutions but they made us work in a certain way and were difficult to use – people just went back to how they were doing it before. </div><div><br /></div><div>Then we found Smartsheet, a cloud-based project management tool. It was already integrated with Google Apps, and as we began deploying it more broadly, made Google Docs much more useful. Smartsheet and Google Apps are the only tools that have been readily adopted across our whole company, all the way out to the guys on the warehouse floor. </div><div><br /></div><div>Here’s how we use them:</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Project & task management <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; ">We started tracking various projects and shared task lists in Smartsheet. User adoption was not a problem and the ability to launch Smartsheet from Gmail (the first app we open every morning) might sound simple, but it was a big win. Most of us check into Smartsheet dozens of times per day and we all have it added to the first screen on our iPhones.</span></b></div><div><br /></div><div><b>Order-to-ship process <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; ">We then realized that Smartsheet and Gmail could help with our order entry and shipping process. It was easy to set up and quickly adopted by reps on the phones with customers as well as people in the factory and at the warehouse. Here's our new streamlined process:</span></b></div><div><br /></div><div> 1. New orders are entered in a Smartsheet with the packing slip attached to the order and special instructions added as discussion notes</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464931130640105874" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jSdgG4-DeNE/S9dV6KvHAZI/AAAAAAAAAXs/FNFsj_iRZ5o/s400/1.jpg" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 84px; " /></span></div><div><br /></div><div> 2. The people at the warehouse are automatically notified by Smartsheet (via Gmail on their iPhone) that a new order needs to be shipped</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464931140396141330" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jSdgG4-DeNE/S9dV6vFISxI/AAAAAAAAAX0/_ahnn7YNvz8/s400/2.jpg" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px; " /></span></div><div><br /></div><div> 3. They access Smartsheet from their email, download the packing slip and prep the order</div><div><br /></div><div> 4. Once the order is shipped, they fill out the "tracking number" field for that order in Smartsheet and change the dropdown status from "waiting" to "shipped"</div><div><br /></div><div> 5. The right people receive a Smartsheet notification that a new order has been shipped with the tracking number available</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464931142396030354" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jSdgG4-DeNE/S9dV62h8LZI/AAAAAAAAAX8/Vy___dyKZhs/s400/3.jpg" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 144px; " /></span></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>Inventory tracking <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal; ">We also track raw and finished goods inventory in Smartsheet, giving salespeople instant access to the latest information online or via their iPhone.</span></b></div><div><br /></div><div><b>Sales pipeline</b> We have recently started using Smartsheet to manage the sales pipeline. It's been great to have all of our client projects and potential leads tracked in one place with their relevant documents attached to their record. We have instant status updates, forecast amounts and recent call notes at our fingertips and use reminders to make sure follow up happens.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Specification document management</b> Since we are able to easily attach Google Docs to our Smartsheets, we decided to go forward with converting hundreds of specification documents into Google Docs. Google Docs gives us collaborative writing and review to get the specifications right, and Smartsheet organizes them conveniently right inside the project workflow. Accessing files directly from our sales, inventory and order processing sheets has been a big productivity win.</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464931149247779234" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jSdgG4-DeNE/S9dV7QDhkaI/AAAAAAAAAYE/HYB7Sx1HZGs/s400/4.jpg" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 291px; " /></span></div><div><br /></div><div>Smartsheet and Google Apps are changing the way our company communicates. Our CEO loves it because he gets an update on order status or a key customer in real time. Our reps love it because they can quickly pull up an order while on the phone with a customer and give an instant answer without waiting for someone at the warehouse to call them back. This saves us a tremendous amount of time. </div><div><br /></div><div>The two keys for us are ease of use and the flexibility, and we've yet to come across a type of work that can't be managed in Smartsheet and Google Apps. We also love that it's a fraction of the cost of many of the other solutions we've looked at and we don't have to hire expensive consultants to customize it.</div><div><br /></div><div>Bottom line is that we serve our customers better than bigger competitors because we're nimble and agile, and we feel the same way about Smartsheet and Google Apps.</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: right;">Tom Hippensteel, VP, LiquidConcrete</div><div><br /></div><div><i>Join Tom and the Smartsheet team for a <a href="https://googleonline.webex.com/mw0306lb/mywebex/default.do?nomenu=true&siteurl=googleonline&service=6&main_url=https%3A%2F%2Fgoogleonline.webex.com%2Fec0605lb%2Feventcenter%2Fevent%2FeventAction.do%3FtheAction%3Ddetail%26confViewID%3D616029928%26siteurl%3Dgoogleonline%26%26%26">webinar</a> to learn more about this customer success story.

This final installment explains advantages achieved from the scale at which the <a href="http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en/business/index.html#utm_medium=blog&utm_source=en-blog-us-na-cloudseries-entblog_0420&utm_campaign=cloudseries">Google Apps</a> infrastructure operates.<br /> <br /> <b>Maximum Economies of Scale</b><br /> An Internet-scale cloud infrastructure achieves economies of scale that can produce tremendous cost savings. Rather than buying off-the-shelf completed servers, Google buys raw computer parts in massive quantities, and assembles custom servers with few unnecessary components. Not only do we save costs on hardware, we also minimize overhead by consolidating on a very small number of server configurations that can be managed in bulk globally at an extremely efficient ratio of staff to machines. On a per-user basis, these economies of scale allow Google Apps to operate at higher levels of efficiency than can be achieved by customers themselves. <br /> <br /> Further cost savings are also made possible by applications that run in the browser. Not only can customers forgo licensing expensive client software, but browser-based applications also require much less administrative overhead than traditional software or “software plus services”. IT departments don’t need to deploy patches or upgrades for web-based applications, and since improvements roll out gradually and continuously instead of in large disruptive batches every several years, companies can also save on change management costs.<br /> <br /> Cloud computing – hosted, web-based applications built on shared infrastructure – can achieve breakthroughs in the pace of innovation, reliability, security and economies of scale. As you consider alternatives to address your organization’s messaging and collaboration needs, it pays to understand how different technologies are actually delivered. Over two million businesses considered their own options and have truly moved to the cloud with Google Apps. <br /> <br /> If you’re interested in going a level deeper, we invite you to geek out with us on Thursday, when we’ll be holding a webcast to explore the advantages of Google’s cloud.

In the United States alone, roughly one out of every five classrooms has an interactive whiteboard, like this:</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462334409204215730" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jSdgG4-DeNE/S84cNFkCr7I/AAAAAAAAAXM/d5FtEUhKD-Q/s400/image001.jpg" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 250px; " /></span></div><div>These are steadily replacing the chalkboard and leave little to no room for traditional wall maps and charts.</div><div><br /></div><div>As the leading producer of maps and globes for schools, NYSTROM Herff Jones Education Division saw an opportunity to deliver geographic information to educators – a market we’ve served more more than 100 years – through innovative technology. We partnered with Roundarch, a leader in digital design and technology, to help. Ultimately, we chose to use the Google Earth API to power our educational content and reinvent our products in ways never before possible. The result of our work is StrataLogica(TM).</div><div><br /></div><div>Released late September 2009, StrataLogica is a revolutionary web-based product that delivers layers of age-appropriate, curriculum-based content for use in the classroom, school library, or at home. To meet grade-level curriculum standards, Nystrom mapped the world in many ways to illustrate various themes including physical features, political divisions, land cover, elevation, and U.S. and World history.</div><div><br /></div><div>StrataLogica geo-references the content and presents it wrapped on the 3-D Earth allowing users to navigate and interact with our multi-layered world beyond the scope of traditional maps and globes.</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462334412038807986" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jSdgG4-DeNE/S84cNQH3IbI/AAAAAAAAAXU/uq0yKa9nzpk/s400/image006.jpg" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 250px; " /></span></div><div>Using the StrataLogica dual-map viewer, teachers and students can compare and contrast a variety of topics side by side. They can examine “then and now” by comparing, say, a World War II history map with a current political view (see image) of the same place. </div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462334902233847218" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jSdgG4-DeNE/S84cpyPd1bI/AAAAAAAAAXc/cXbLB6Ik27U/s400/SL_scrcpt_USH_WWII_ed.jpg" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 250px; " /></span></div><div>Students can consider why people live where they do by creating side-by-side mash-ups of population, rainfall, and land use. They can also take advantage of Google Earth’s 3-D imagery by zooming down to satellite view to explore terrain or cities and communities around the world while keeping one globe view locked to provide context.</div><div><br /></div><div>With the intuitive tool bar built on top of the API teachers and students can interact in numerous ways with content. They can add their own placemark pop-ups and include explanatory text, videos, or photos. They can use a ruler tool to measure distance. They can add their own text labels or drop in symbols to highlight land use, transportation, weather, and more. Each user can save this information to his or her account.</div><div><br /></div><div>Nystrom and Roundarch have recently announced the addition of new StrataLogica features and functions that include collaboration, sharing, projects, and presentations. With these new capabilities students and teachers can work together to map curriculum content—exploration routes, famous battles, immigration patterns—in this online environment so learning to continue outside the confines of the classroom.</div><div><br /></div><div>It’s our belief that with the release of StrataLogica, Nystrom is redefining the way schools will think about and provide this fundamental, relevant content. Today’s students are so technically savvy – they deserve resources that will feed their appetite for information while improving their educational lives. Though it was introduced only months ago, StrataLogica is already being adopted by schools and districts around the country. The overwhelming response has been that it inspires teachers and students in an entirely new way.</div><div><br /></div><div>We invite you to see videos of StrataLogica in action and encourage educators to get a free trial at <a href="http://www.stratalogica.com">www.stratalogica.com</a>.

Here, part two focuses on how <a href="http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en/business/index.html#utm_medium=blog&utm_source=en-blog-us-na-cloudseries-entblog_0414&utm_campaign=cloudseries">Google Apps</a> is designed from the ground up to provide higher reliability and better security.<br /> <br /> <span style="font-weight:bold;">Improved Reliability and Security</span><br /> Through <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2010/03/disaster-recovery-by-google.html">synchronous replication</a>, data and user actions in Google Apps are mirrored in nearly real-time across multiple data centers. If one data center becomes unavailable for any reason, the system is designed to instantly fall back to a secondary data center with no user-visible interruption in service. For Google Apps customers, our recovery point objective (RPO) design target is zero, and our recovery time objective (RTO) design target is instant failover. Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Talk, Google Groups, Google Docs and Google Sites have a 99.9% uptime guarantee, and our actual reliability has been significantly higher than this commitment. Attempting to replicate this level of reliability with on-premises or hosted technology is tremendously costly and complex. Even very large enterprises with state-of-the-art disaster recovery systems typically target a recovery time of one hour and accept the loss of one hour’s worth of data.<br /> <br /> On the security front, Google’s large investments in physical and process-based security are passed on to customers. First, Google is able to hire many of the worlds leading security experts to protect our systems and conduct cutting-edge security research. Our data centers are hardened with many of the latest measures in security precautions, including biometric access controls and multi-tiered security perimeters. Furthermore, Google has implemented a multi-layered security process protocol designed to help keep customer data safe. Our processes have been independently verified in a successful third-party SAS 70 Type II audit to verify our confidentiality, integrity and availability of customer data. Finally, Google is able to efficiently manage security updates across our nearly homogeneous global cloud computing infrastructure, so customers aren’t exposed to known vulnerabilities until they install security patches themselves.<br /> <br /> Browser-based applications also help keep sensitive data more secure. Unlike traditional software, when a user is finished using a web-based application, minimal data is left on the machine that could be compromised. Also, when employees can securely access their data from any browser, they’re less likely to store data locally on unsecured end-points like thumb drives. In a world where one out of ten laptops go missing in the first year<sup>1</sup> and 66% of workers report having lost a thumb drive<sup>2</sup>, making data securely available from the browser and minimizing the amount of sensitive data stored on devices is an effective security strategy.<br /> <br /> Next week I’ll conclude this series by sharing how Google’s economies of scale can help companies reduce costs and free up technology resources for higher value initiatives that can make businesses more competitive.<br /> <br /> If you’re interested in going a level deeper, we invite you to <a href="http://webcasts.techrepublic.com.com/abstract.aspx?docid=1690161">geek out with us</a> on Thursday, April 22nd, when we’ll be holding a webcast to explore the advantages of Google’s cloud.

After the ISP 3FN was taken down, spam levels rebounded in less than a month, and after Real Host went down, spam volumes recovered after only two days. In response, the anti-spam community turned its attention toward taking botnets offline instead.</div><div><br /></div><div>Toward the end of 2009, Mega-D, a top-10 botnet – responsible for infecting more than 250,000 computers worldwide – was severely crippled through a carefully orchestrated campaign designed to isolate the command-and-control servers spammers were using to support the botnet. In early 2010, security professionals, along with government agencies, successfully mounted a campaign against several more targets: major botnets such as Waledac, Mariposa, and Zeus were either <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/8570993.stm">shut down</a> or had their operations significantly curtailed.</div><div><br /></div><div>However, this recent spate of botnet takedowns has not had a dramatic impact on spam levels. Although spam and virus levels did fall below Q4’09 highs, reports from Google’s global analytics show that spam levels held relatively steady over the course of Q1’10. </div><div><br /></div><div>This suggests that there’s no shortage of botnets out there for spammers to use. If one botnet goes offline, spammers simply buy, rent, or deploy another, making it difficult for the anti-spam community to make significant inroads in the fight against spam with individual botnet takedowns.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Spam by the numbers<br /></b>Overall, spam volume fell 12% from Q4’09 to Q1’10, which follows a trend of quarterly decreases in overall spam levels that started after the surge in Q2’09. This may be attributed to some of the recent takedowns, but spam volume was still 6% higher this quarter than it was <a href="ttp://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2009/03/spam-data-and-trends-q1-2009.html">during the same period in 2009</a>, and spam volume as a percentage of total email messages is holding steady.<br /><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=""><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459780352837545906" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jSdgG4-DeNE/S8UJTcKJ77I/AAAAAAAAAWs/EFCfINPvGX0/s400/WA30-1004_Q1-Spam-Trends_Spam-User_v3.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 289px;" /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />Recently, our data centers showed a 30% increase in the size of individual spam messages (measured in bytes) that occurred toward the end of March, as shown below.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=""><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459780346882095602" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jSdgG4-DeNE/S8UJTF-Q-fI/AAAAAAAAAWk/Rem9Rva4q2E/s400/WA30-1004_Q1-Spam-Trends_Spam-Bytes_v3.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 273px;" /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />This spike points to a resurgence of image spam, similar to <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2009/07/q2-2009-spam-trends.html">what we reported in Q2’09</a>. This is likely due to the fact that reusing image templates makes it easier and faster for spammers to start new campaigns.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">As always, spammers tend to make use of predictable topics – cheap pharmaceuticals, celebrity gossip, breaking news – to encourage user clicks. In January, spammers hastened to exploit the Haiti earthquake crisis, sending pleas for donations that appeared to have been sent by reputable charitable organizations, politicians, and celebrities.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">The frequency and variety of post-earthquake spam illustrates an unpleasant reality: spammers will exploit any means – even tragedies – to accomplish their objectives.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238);"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459780341419184418" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jSdgG4-DeNE/S8UJSxnzkSI/AAAAAAAAAWc/bXuiE1xbRA0/s400/WA30-1004_Q1-Spam-Trends_Payload_v2.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 273px;" /></span></div><div><div><b><br />Virus levels fall after Q4’09 surge<br /></b>During 2009, spam with attached viruses increased tenfold, with levels rising from 0.3% of total spam in the first half of the year to 3.7% in the second. Postini filters blocked more than 100 million virus-bearing messages per day during the worst of the attack.</div><div><br /></div><div><div>Since then, spam with attached viruses leveled off to around 1.1% in Q1’10, and dropped as low as 0.7% in March. It’s good news that virus levels are currently trending down – but Q1’10 levels are still 12-fold higher than they were in Q1’09.</div></div><div><br /></div><div>In fact, this virus surge may be part of the reason that there hasn’t been a significant impact on spam volume after the recent takedown of major botnets. With a host of new machines now infected and part of a botnet, it is unlikely that there would be a dip in spam proliferation.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Benefits of security in the cloud</b><br />Although the botnets that distribute spam are mindless drones, the spammers that take advantage of these botnets are a highly active and adaptable group. This is evidenced by the varied techniques and tactics that they employ in an ongoing effort to evade spam filters and deliver messages to their targets.</div><div><br /></div><div>2010 is likely to see more botnets taken offline, but the question remains – will that have a long-term impact on spam volumes overall? So far in 2010, the effect has been limited, and the security community may begin to turn to other tactics that yield a more substantial impact on global spam volumes.</div><div><br /></div><div>As long as the threat is there, however, Google is committed to using the power of the cloud to protect your enterprise from spam and viruses. Outsourcing message security to Google enables you to leverage our technical expertise and massive infrastructure to keep spammers from your inbox.</div><div><br /></div><div>For more information on how Google’s security and archiving services can help your business stay safe and compliant, please visit <a href="http://www.google.com/postini/index.html#utm_campaign=en&utm_source=en-blog-na-us-Q110_spam_trends&utm_medium=blog&utm_term=enterprise_blog%20">www.google.com/postini</a>.</div><div><br /></div><div>Posted by Gopal Shah, Google Postini Services team</div></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'>Labels:</span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/Google%20Apps' rel='tag'>Google Apps</a>, <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/Google%20Email%20Security%20and%20Archiving' rel='tag'>Google Email Security and Archiving</a>, <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/Postini' rel='tag'>Postini</a>, <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/spam%20and%20security%20trends' rel='tag'>spam and security trends</a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='1' data-onclick='' data-post-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2010/04/editors-note-spam-data-cited-in-this.html' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2010/04/editors-note-spam-data-cited-in-this.html' style='color: #245dc1;'></span> </span> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='8638732355323571279' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2010/04/laying-foundation-for-new-google-docs.html' itemprop='url' title='Laying the foundation for a new Google Docs'> Laying the foundation for a new Google Docs </a></h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'><span class='caption'>Posted:</span> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'>Monday, April 12, 2010</span> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-wrapper'> <div class='g-plusone' data-href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2010/04/laying-foundation-for-new-google-docs.html' data-size='medium'></div> </span> <a class='twitter-share-button' data-lang='en' data-related='googleatwork' data-text='Laying the foundation for a new Google Docs' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2010/04/laying-foundation-for-new-google-docs.html' data-via='googleatwork' href='https://twitter.com/share'>Tweet</a> <iframe allowTransparency='true' frameborder='0' scrolling='no' src='http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2010/04/laying-foundation-for-new-google-docs.html&layout=button_count&show_faces=false&width=77&action=like&colorscheme=light&height=20' style='border:none; overflow:hidden; width:77px; height:20px;'></iframe> <span class='linkedin-wrapper'> <script src='//platform.linkedin.com/in.js' type='text/javascript'>lang: en_US</script> <script data-counter='right' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2010/04/laying-foundation-for-new-google-docs.html' type='IN/Share'></script> </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> Over the last year, we’ve been hard at work rewriting the infrastructure underlying Google Docs to take advantage of the latest advances in modern browsers. Our updated codebase will help us deliver richer functionality more quickly, and over the next few days, we’ll be rolling out a preview of the new editors. <br /> <br /><b>New document and spreadsheet features</b><div><b></b>You shouldn’t have to give up any routine features when you switch to web-based applications, and we’re addressing many longstanding requests across Google Docs with this release that were not feasible with older browser technology. Documents support better formatting options like a margin ruler, better numbering and bullets, and more flexible image placement. Spreadsheets now have a familiar formula editing bar, cell auto-complete, drag-and-drop columns and more.<div> <br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JPTTyK3AMOQ/S8LIUSVSBkI/AAAAAAAAAFo/Y-LeqPWynMI/s1600/Picture+4.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459145949170501186" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JPTTyK3AMOQ/S8LIUSVSBkI/AAAAAAAAAFo/Y-LeqPWynMI/s400/Picture+4.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 164px; " /></a> <br /> <br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JPTTyK3AMOQ/S8LIT5MS1VI/AAAAAAAAAFg/VWUgE6JoJc4/s1600/Picture+5.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459145942421919058" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JPTTyK3AMOQ/S8LIT5MS1VI/AAAAAAAAAFg/VWUgE6JoJc4/s400/Picture+5.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 129px; " /></a> <br /> <br /><b>Higher fidelity document import</b></div><div><b></b>It should be easy to move files saved on your computer to the cloud, so we made our document upload feature much stronger. Imported documents keep their original structure more accurately, so you can spend less time adjusting files you move to the cloud.</div><div> <br /><b>Speed and responsiveness </b></div><div><b></b>Browser-based applications shouldn’t force you to compromise on performance either, and our new architecture is much faster than before. Working with very large spreadsheets is even snappy now. Web apps really can feel just as fluid as traditional software. <br /><b>Faster collaboration</b></div><div><b></b>Collaboration has always been Google Docs’ forte, and the new codebase is letting us leap forward here, too. The applications support up to 50 simultaneous editors, and documents let you see other people’s changes character-by-character as they type. Finally, we’ve added multi-user editing to drawings too, so now you can build flow charts, schematics, and other kinds of diagrams collaboratively. <br /> <br /><object height="385" width="640"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/UFem3cDqyDA&hl=en_US&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/UFem3cDqyDA&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object> <br /> <br /></div><div>The new Google Docs editors will take advantage of faster rendering engines in modern browsers as well as new web standards like HTML5. As a result, we need to temporarily remove offline support for Docs starting May 3rd, 2010. We know that this is an important feature for some of you, and we are working hard to bring a new and improved HTML5-based offline option back to Google Docs. Please note that this change only concerns Google Docs. We will continue to support offline access for Gmail and Google Calendar. To learn more, please see our <a href="https://docs.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=176376">Help Center</a>.</div><div> <br />Over the next few days, users will be able to start creating collaborative drawings from the Docs list. For Google Apps customers with the control panel option set to “enable new pre-release features,” users will have the option to enable the new document editor in the ‘Document settings’ page, and activate the new spreadsheet editor with the “New version” link at the top of any spreadsheet.</div><div> <br />These improvements to Google Docs are designed to help businesses like yours move to the cloud faster and be more productive than ever before.

In this three-part series, I’ll share how Google’s multi-tenant, Internet-scale architecture and browser-based applications produce three key advantages: the fastest innovation, improved reliability and security, and maximum economies of scale. Today I’ll focus on how Google’s innovation exceeds what’s possible with on-premises technology, single-tenant hosted applications, and “software plus services”.<br /> <br /> <span style="font-weight:bold;">Faster access to innovation for higher productivity</span><br /> The web is the epicenter of innovation, and Google’s multi-tenant infrastructure is designed so we can push improvements to our entire customer base on short iteration cycles. We can deliver new functionality on a weekly basis, or faster, because our systems are able to distribute updates so efficiently. In 2009 alone, we launched over 100 improvements, and customers didn’t need to manage any upgrades or patches. In contrast, businesses tend to update traditional server software every five to seven years due to long release cycles from vendors and the cost and complexity businesses face implementing upgrades, especially when more powerful servers are required, like 64-bit hardware.<br /> <br /> Browser-based applications are another key ingredient in our recipe for rapid innovation. When we launch new features to our web applications, users automatically get these improvements just by refreshing their browsers. Our mobile browser applications also get new features without software updates. With traditional technology and “software plus services”, client software is an innovation bottleneck. Even after back-end systems can support new features, users don’t get new functionality in those environments until the software on their computers and mobile phones have been upgraded, which can be an expensive and labor-intensive project.<br /> <br /> Feedback and anonymous usage statistics from hundreds of millions of users in the real world also help us bring stress-tested innovation to business customers at an unprecedented pace. From our consumer user base, we quickly learn which new features would be useful in the business context, refine those features, and make them available to Google Apps customers with minimal delay.<br /> <br /> Continuous innovation powered by the cloud has another advantage over traditional technology cycles: employees adapt to a continuous stream of manageable improvements better than they tolerate large, disruptive batches of change. Gradual iterations in bite-sized chunks substantially reduce change-management challenges. Conversely, employees are subjected to a painful re-learning cycle each time companies upgrade traditional software.<br /> <br /> Dramatically faster innovation helps employees be more productive, but that’s not all Google’s cloud has to offer. In part two of this series, next week I’ll focus on how <a href="http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en/business/index.html#utm_medium=blog&utm_source=en-blog-us-na-cloudseries-entblog_0408&utm_campaign=cloudseries">Google Apps</a> can offer better security and higher reliability than on-premises technology, single-tenant hosted applications and “software plus services”.<br /> <br /> If you’re interested in going a level deeper, we invite you to <a href="http://webcasts.techrepublic.com.com/abstract.aspx?docid=1690157">geek out with us</a> on Thursday, April 22nd, when we’ll be holding a webcast to explore the advantages of Google’s cloud.

In addition to her current position she previously worked at the Central KS Library System, Northeast KS Library System, and has served as the State Librarian of South Carolina.</i></div><div><br /></div><div>Last week, on April 1, the <a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/04/different-kind-of-company-name.html">same day that Google re-named itself "Topeka</a>," the State Library of Kansas (SLK) decided to "go Google" and switch our agency's email to Google Apps. But, unlike Google, we weren't fooling around!</div><div><br /></div><div>The State Library of Kansas provides on-site and online information services for state government, the Legislature, all Kansas libraries and Kansas residents. We also work closely with seven regional library systems geographically distributed throughout our state. We have a large collection of print and audiobooks, plus state and federal documents. We manage a suite of online resources available 24/7 to all Kansans – from databases and digital books to online tutoring and services for the visually impaired.</div><div><br /></div><div>Google Apps will provide the library’s staff with Gmail, calendar, video chat, real-time document and video sharing, backups, and additional services such as archiving powered by Postini. It will, for the first time, allow the agency’s multiple locations to have a staff intranet using Google Sites and join together teams that were previously separated by several firewalls.</div><div><br /></div><div>The State Library relies heavily on technology so this chance to modernize our communications and collaboration systems is a welcome one. We switched to Google Apps for many reasons:</div><div><ul><li>Substantial cost savings</li><li>Hosting by a trusted third party</li><li>Archiving and backups happening continuously in the cloud</li><li>99.9% uptime, guaranteed</li><li>Strong recommendations from staff at the Northeast Kansas Library System, which made the switch last year</li></ul></div><div>Now SLK’s IT staff will be able to focus on internal staff training needs and upgrading all of our technology systems – rather than on server maintenance. As we deploy Google Apps in the coming weeks, we will first be training our management team who will then work 1-on-1 with all staff to ensure that questions are answered and staff are comfortable with the new products and services. A number of State Library staff already have Gmail accounts and are familiar with its functionality. </div><div><br /></div><div>Staff members are also interested in Google Apps capabilities beyond Gmail – like Google Groups and Google Docs. Our staff is eager to take advantage of the capabilities of Google Apps!</div><div><br /></div><div>Staff from SLK will be at the Kansas Library Association conference in Wichita beginning tomorrow, Wednesday, April 7, and encourage anyone interested in Google Apps to seek us out.</div><div><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jSdgG4-DeNE/S7q_DGyibzI/AAAAAAAAAVc/E84Zcl5FXho/s1600/slk_logo.jpg" style="text-decoration: none;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5456883958595874610" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jSdgG4-DeNE/S7q_DGyibzI/AAAAAAAAAVc/E84Zcl5FXho/s200/slk_logo.jpg" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 65px; " /></a></div><div>Posted by Serena Satyasai, The Google Apps Team</div><div><br /></div><div>Do you have an informative and fun Google Apps story to share? <a href="https://spreadsheets.google.com/a/google.com/viewform?hl=en&formkey=cm5BVzV3QUtjaTljSWRiUDlub25rSEE6MA..">Please submit it here</a>.</div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'>Labels:</span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/Google%20Apps' rel='tag'>Google Apps</a>, <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/government' rel='tag'>government</a>, <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/guest%20post' rel='tag'>guest post</a>, <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/switch' rel='tag'>switch</a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='0' data-onclick='' data-post-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2010/04/state-library-of-kansas-in-topeka-goes.html' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2010/04/state-library-of-kansas-in-topeka-goes.html' style='color: #245dc1;'></span> </span> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='9189720406092720567' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2010/04/collaborative-mapping-for-major.html' itemprop='url' title='Collaborative mapping for major disasters'> Collaborative mapping for major disasters </a></h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'><span class='caption'>Posted:</span> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'>Monday, April 5, 2010</span> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-wrapper'> <div class='g-plusone' data-href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2010/04/collaborative-mapping-for-major.html' data-size='medium'></div> </span> <a class='twitter-share-button' data-lang='en' data-related='googleatwork' data-text='Collaborative mapping for major disasters' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2010/04/collaborative-mapping-for-major.html' data-via='googleatwork' href='https://twitter.com/share'>Tweet</a> <iframe allowTransparency='true' frameborder='0' scrolling='no' src='http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2010/04/collaborative-mapping-for-major.html&layout=button_count&show_faces=false&width=77&action=like&colorscheme=light&height=20' style='border:none; overflow:hidden; width:77px; height:20px;'></iframe> <span class='linkedin-wrapper'> <script src='//platform.linkedin.com/in.js' type='text/javascript'>lang: en_US</script> <script data-counter='right' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2010/04/collaborative-mapping-for-major.html' type='IN/Share'></script> </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Editor’s Note: </span>Today's guest author is A.J.

Instead, enable your IT staff to work on new and innovative initiatives that will drive your business forward by freeing them from the chains of the on-site server.</div><div><br /></div><div>I've been excited about Google Apps since the day I discovered the service. I was an early Gmail beta tester, and, like many, have been faithful to the awesome service since 2004. When I saw there was such thing as Gmail for your business, I thought to myself, "This is innovative. This is going to change things." Three years later and Google Apps is changing things. It's a lot of fun to participate in a paradigm shift as a reseller, rather than standing by and watching it happen.</div><div><br /></div><div>My brother Dan and I started Dito in 2007 in order to help small and medium businesses transition to the cloud. Even back then, before the Google Apps Authorized Reseller Program existed, we were providing services around Google Apps. When we were invited to take part in the reseller pilot program, accepting the offer was a logical progression for our business.</div><div><br /></div><div>Joining the Google Apps Authorized Reseller Program has been a great experience for Dito all around. We've received extensive training, guidance and support from a variety of highly skilled and knowledgeable Google folks. Today, with a growing team of subject matter and Six Sigma experts, Google Apps trainers, and developers, we're able to perform to the high standard of service that our customers have come to expect. And the team is as passionate about Google Apps as I am. As users ourselves, we "dogfood" all new Google Apps features, growing our knowledge of the product and improving our own business processes.</div><div><br /></div><div>Almost everyday, Dito helps a new customer move from a legacy system into Google Apps. Why are most of them moving? Businesses are moving to Google Apps Premier Edition for many different reasons, but there are a few that resonate across the board: cost, usability, and innovation. Put simply, businesses want to cut current costs while providing employees with a service that is easy to use and is constantly improving. Google Apps fits that bill.</div><div><br /></div><div>When people ask where we see Dito in the future, I like to use the analogy that we are strapped to a rocket ship (Google Apps) that is taking off into the stratosphere, and we are screaming "yeeehaa" the whole way. We are just really excited about what we do. Dito is committed to providing the best services and solutions for businesses and organizations using Google Apps for years to come. We will continue to evolve with Google Apps and develop custom solutions, like Dito Directory that is available in the new Google Apps Marketplace, that fit the needs of the Google Apps user base.</div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jSdgG4-DeNE/S7aE8n8Ka6I/AAAAAAAAAU8/922k2l-TCU4/s1600/Dito+preferred.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5455694175654276002" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jSdgG4-DeNE/S7aE8n8Ka6I/AAAAAAAAAU8/922k2l-TCU4/s200/Dito+preferred.jpg" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 90px;" /></a><br /></div><div>Find reseller case studies and learn more about the <a href="http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en/business/resellers/index.html#utm_campaign=gaar&utm_source=en-blog-na-us-gaar_ent_dito&utm_medium=&utm_term=ent_blog_dito">Google Apps Authorized Reseller Program</a>. </div><div><br /></div><div>Posted by Jeff Ragusa, Google Apps Channel team</div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'>Labels:</span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/developers' rel='tag'>developers</a>, <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/Google%20Apps' rel='tag'>Google Apps</a>, <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/guest%20post' rel='tag'>guest post</a>, <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/partners' rel='tag'>partners</a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='1' data-onclick='' data-post-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2010/04/ditos-journey-as-google-apps-reseller.html' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2010/04/ditos-journey-as-google-apps-reseller.html' style='color: #245dc1;'></span> </span> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='7916998501088706128' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2010/04/beyond-email-simple-ways-to-get-more.html' itemprop='url' title='Beyond email: simple ways to get more out of Google Apps'> Beyond email: simple ways to get more out of Google Apps </a></h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'><span class='caption'>Posted:</span> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'>Monday, April 5, 2010</span> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-wrapper'> <div class='g-plusone' data-href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2010/04/beyond-email-simple-ways-to-get-more.html' data-size='medium'></div> </span> <a class='twitter-share-button' data-lang='en' data-related='googleatwork' data-text='Beyond email: simple ways to get more out of Google Apps' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2010/04/beyond-email-simple-ways-to-get-more.html' data-via='googleatwork' href='https://twitter.com/share'>Tweet</a> <iframe allowTransparency='true' frameborder='0' scrolling='no' src='http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2010/04/beyond-email-simple-ways-to-get-more.html&layout=button_count&show_faces=false&width=77&action=like&colorscheme=light&height=20' style='border:none; overflow:hidden; width:77px; height:20px;'></iframe> <span class='linkedin-wrapper'> <script src='//platform.linkedin.com/in.js' type='text/javascript'>lang: en_US</script> <script data-counter='right' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2010/04/beyond-email-simple-ways-to-get-more.html' type='IN/Share'></script> </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jSdgG4-DeNE/S7ZnW8GAHBI/AAAAAAAAAUk/UKigU9XaeGk/s1600/logo-mrn.gif"></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jSdgG4-DeNE/S7ZnLBGcPVI/AAAAAAAAAUc/iMHaC_eXGho/s1600/photo-jlawrence.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5455661437577608530" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_jSdgG4-DeNE/S7ZnLBGcPVI/AAAAAAAAAUc/iMHaC_eXGho/s400/photo-jlawrence.jpg" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 177px; height: 185px;" /></a><div><i><b>Editor's note: </b>Today's guest blogger is Jeremy Lawrence, CIO of The Mind Research Network (MRN), an organization dedicated to the discovery and advancement of clinical solutions for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of mental illness and other brain disorders. By switching from hosted Microsoft® Exchange to Google Apps, Lawrence spared his IT team from the grind of maintenance, upgrades and patches – all while providing users with a more advanced solution. </i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div><i>Beyond mail, Jeremy deployed Google's online documents, video, archiving, and encryption apps to help his 200+ research scientists and staff improve collaboration, boost productivity and enhance security. </i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div><i>Jeremy will be speaking this Thursday, April 8, on a live webcast. <a href="http://webcasts.techrepublic.com.com/abstract.aspx?docid=1662615">Register here.</a></i></div><div><br /></div><div>Several years ago the situation at MRN could not have been more complex. The organization had grown with very little standardization and centralization. For email, we had a blend of email clients – Microsoft Outlook®, Outlook Express®, Apple® Mail, Pine, Elm, Semaphore, Morse – need I go on? There was such a proliferation of email accounts with varying reliability that people kept saying "Send it to my home account, because I never check this one." We also had growing needs in calendaring and document sharing.</div><div><br /></div><div>We determined that we needed a single mail domain, mailing lists, a company directory, a shared calendar, as well as shared documents and project websites – something our employees weren't really aware of at the time. We thought about running Microsoft Exchange in-house, switching to another on-site platform, or a hosted model. Over a fair period of time, we calculated the costs of several solutions and analyzed all the reliability and collaboration factors.</div><div><br /></div><div>Google won hands-down in a feature/cost comparison. We opted for a Big Bang conversion and got over the conversion hump in about a week's time. Import of email was flawless across 104 mailboxes – and we've now grown to nearly 300. We also did up-front preparation with weekly FAQ emails and bulk account creation in advance. We set up a hotline and printed instructions for users. We also conducted help sessions in the lobby. Post-migration, we provided "tip of the day" messages for 14 days.</div><div><br /></div><div>Beyond mail, we deployed Google's online documents and video, as well as additional archiving and encryption features by Google Postini Services to help our 200+ research scientists and staff improve collaboration, boost productivity, and enhance security. Most of all, we learned that Google Apps provides capabilities far beyond our expectations and provides a platform for us to easily add on additional web apps. It's this additional extensibility and flexibility beyond just email that's a big value add for an organization of our size – and we're just scratching the surface.</div><div><br /></div><div>We learned many tips and tricks for making users happy and we can share five (and more!) simple ways to get more out of Google Apps. Please join me for a live webcast to learn more.</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://webcasts.techrepublic.com.com/abstract.aspx?docid=1662615">Five Simple Ways To Get More Out of Google
