Last month I introduced some free tools for business.  Throughout the year MicroKnowledge has been exploring quite a few free, web-based tools.  One tool in particular is Google Apps,  which contains tools for gathering information, email, calendaring and file sharing.  Available in the cloud, with Google Apps you have access to your information regardless of where your business takes you.  With many great tools to reduce costs and gain efficiency, all you need to get yourself started is a gmail account.

If you have a larger business, try Google Apps for Business, which allows for unlimited users for a minimal fee (Google Apps limits users to 10).  Review the benefits of Google Apps for Business.

Considering a switch?  You are not the only one.  Google boasts that more than 3 million customers have made the switch.  Read their stories: Business that have made the switch to Google Apps.

If you are considering using Google Apps in your business, MicroKnowledge offers a Google Apps class.  Hope to see you at an upcoming session!

Send me your favorite free business tools and I’ll post them in a later blog.
