The average employee in the company became 2.8x more effective while working mobile within 6 months after adopting Google Apps,
ibm goes Google (Telegraph Media Group Internal Study, 2009). 4
5. Efficiency: Bigger inboxes, less clutter
ibm
could add
Enough for
10,000,000GB
of email storage space
25,085,550,240 emails
Gmail inboxes are 50 times the industry standard
So employees will spend less time deleting emails.
Plus, that new space will be organized into
conversation threads, reducing the number
of inbox lines by 47%.
Calculations based on an average email size of 418KB (Osterman Research Study, 2010). The number of lines in employees’ inboxes decreased by 47%,
ibm goes Google or 510,000 emails per day across the organization (Motorola Mobile Devices Business internal stat, 2009). 5
6. Productivity: Less spam, more time
ibm could put the
11,122,223 hours
employees normally spend dealing
with spam to better use.
Gmail saves time by filtering out spam and protecting you from viruses.
Hope you won't miss those inspirational chain letters.
Assumptions: 5 seconds for an employee to click open and email, ID it as spam, and delete it.
ibm goes Google An average user receives 77 spam emails each day which are blocked by Google Postini Services (Google internal stat, 2009) 6
7. Productivity: No more version control
At ibm, if
10 team members
working on a project each make
5 revisions
there would be
50 versions
of the same document floating around.
Yikes.
Technology is supposed to make things easier, but too
many attachments get complicated.
With Google Apps, there's a single online copy of each document, so
everyone knows that they're working on the latest version
of a doc, spreadsheet or presentation.

8. Productivity: Integrated email, IM, and video chat
Employees at ibm
could communicate
36% more
with integrated email, IM, voice
and video chat.
Along with saving money on the company phone bill, Gmail's built in IM, voice, and
video chat make collaboration and communication more efficient.
Employee communication increased by 36% within 6 months after adopting Google Apps.

9. Trust: Automatic updates
Save 400,000 hours
per year with automatic
updates and keep your
data safe and sound.
With Google Apps, updates and security patches are
automatically installed. So instead of installing patches,
changing passwords and fending off viruses, your IT department
can contribute to the company in more productive ways.
Assumption: 5 minutes for each user to update and restart their machine after each Patch Tuesday (12 times per year).
ibm goes Google Microsoft® had 71 “critical” and “important” security alerts in 2009 alone. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/current.aspx 9
10. Trust: 99.9% uptime reliability
With
uptime ibm will get
10,800,000 hours
of additional productivity
each year.
When it comes to servers, downtime is a downer. But with Google Apps,
ibm will experience more reliable access to files and
emails with no planned downtime. Other server systems have at least 36
to 90 minutes of planned downtime a month.
Companies with on-premises email solutions averaged from 30 to 60 minutes of unscheduled downtime and an additional 36 to 90 minutes of
ibm goes Google planned downtime per month, (The Radicati Group study, 2008). http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2008/10/what-we-learned-from-1-million.html 10
11. Trust: Data security
ibm
could avoid losing
240,000GB
of data from lost
or stolen laptops.
And ibm
will spend
$1,133,904,000
less recovering
from data loss.
Losing things is never fun.
But with Google Apps all your
data is stored online. That
means you'll need 0 thumb
drives and lose 0 gigs of data
if anything happens to
a company laptop.
Assumptions: 60% of employees have laptops; 10 GB of data stored per laptop; average laptop cost of $2000.
According to the FBI, 1 out of every 10 laptops are stolen in the first year of purchase, (FBI, 2005).
ibm goes Google A typical lost or stolen laptop costs employees $49,246 due to value of missing intellectual property or other sensitive data. (Ponemon Institute, 2008.)

12. Trust: Data Recovery
ibm could save
$378,800,000
in data recovery services.
ibm may spend as much as $378,800,000 in data recovery services to protect
from a natural disaster or hardware meltdown. But by going Google you'd spend $0 and wait
0 weeks to recover files.
Assumptions: Average data recovery cost of $150 per user per year. Calculations based on companies of a similar size.

13. Innovation: Continuous updates & new features
Plus, nobody likes waiting for new stuff.
That's why Google has automatic updates. You'll instantely get the newest features instead of waiting years
for the next version to be released. In the past year, Google Apps has released over a hundred new features
and innovations without any patches of installations to worry about. Here are a few new ones:
Google Drawings Google Apps Connector for BlackBerry Enterprise server
Upload any type of file Custom template creation in Google Docs
Google Apps Migration for Microsoft Exhange Google Secure Data Connector
Translate documents in Google Docs Gmail drag & drop attachments
