Google Apps for Business (Score: 2, Interesting) by erichill@pipedot.org on 2014-11-17 17:09 (#2V3F) Excellent email, Google Drive does all the document collaboration you could ask for including offline access and multiple platform support, great calendaring, chat, etc. It's $50/user/year. You can't even buy a server for that.Google sites will take care of the intranet needs. What am I missing here?

I'd been working for a company that was on google for a couple of years until we got bought. Now it's Microsoft whatever.As a remote user on a Mac, Microsoft blows.Downsides of google:No Gantt/project planning software.Google drive is flexible and unstructured. Sometimes it'd be nice to have a more rigid document layout and enforcement.Really stellar upsides:EmailCalendarGoogle Hangouts (super useful for remote users)Drive has been very useful
