Setting Up Your Brand

When setting up your business, the very first thing which you need is a professional email address.  The impression your recipients have of receiving email from a @yahoo.com, @hotmail.com, @gmail.com, @mac.com or even worse, @aol.com email address, is that you are not a serious business.  You are not affiliated with a professional entity or organization.  This can affect your brand perception when trying to get business or get things done.

Having your email on a platform which will help you grow your business without headaches will save you much expense and problems in the future.

Google Apps Business Platform

Google Apps is not only an email platform for your brand, but it is also a powerful collaboration system.  You can manage documents, share and collaborate on calendars and build an intranet for your business processes and knowledge for you and your team.

Furthermore, as your business grows, you can work with team members wherever they are in the world.  You can chat in real-time and work from any computer anywhere.

In the old days, there were servers to manage, IT people who were babysitting your technology and spam threats continually.  Today, you can operate securely and freely from anywhere and manage your business operations from this simple and powerful platform.
