34. Objections and FAQs Why are we supporting a non-Google UI? In businesses with more than 100 employees, the cost of rolling out Google Apps becomes extremely high if the business needs to retrain their users. What's more, their executives are rarely willing to retrain at all. In order to enter these markets (where we charge $50/user/yr) we need to eliminate this barrier to adoption. Over time, we expect that users will transition to Google UI because we'll offer innovative features, a better experience, and no need to purchase client software upgrades. Why would I want to keep Outlook when I switch to Google Apps Premier Edition? While IT Admins quickly understand the cost savings of using Google Apps, large businesses might opt for a phased approach when rolling Google Apps out to their users since the cost of retraining users can become high. Google Apps Sync for Microsoft Outlook allows IT to immediately save on infrastructure costs, while letting them spread out deployment and training efforts thereby allowing users to adopt Google Apps web interface at their own pace. Can I run a pilot of Google Apps and keep Exchange at the same time? Yes, Outlook allows you to access multiple accounts at the same time. Google Apps Sync for Microsoft Outlook will automatically set up a Calendar and Contacts account to Google Apps, and help you set up an e-Mail IMAP account as well; however you can still keep your Exchange account active at the same time. This is useful for migrations, account transitions, or even for piloting Google Apps without having to get rid of your Exchange environment immediately.
