Seeing the business benefits of computing with the cloud. Filipino -owned firm Pointwest Technologies migrated 800 of its users to Google Apps this year, and the Department of Finance has also "Gone Google" with the help of Orange and Bronze Software Labs (O&B).
In a "Why Go Google?" seminar at the Dusit Thani Hotel in Makati City, Raymond Posadas of Pointwest shared his company's experience in migrating to Google Apps with the help of O&B, a Google Enterpise Partner in the Philippines.
"Our previous e-mail provider couldn't cope with our exponential growth when we grew from around 50 employees on our first year (2003) to 2007," says Posadas, a pioneer employee at Pointwest, "We had to switch providers then. Now that we are at 800 employees, we had to look for a new solution that could cope with our growth and business demands."
Mary Manzano, entrepreneur sales consultant for O&B, explains that Google Apps is the ideal product for e-mail, communication, and collaboration needs of SMEs. For only $50 per user per year (about P2,100), an organization can enjoy 25 gigabytes of storage space (50 times the industry standard): security with spam filtering and virus protection, document, spreadsheet, and presentation creation tools with version and rights management; and automatic software updates without the need for an IT department to install patches, change passwords, and fend off viruses for every user.
Google's team of developers and security experts take care of system maintenance, while migration and user training can be performed by O&B.
