A core goal of Google Apps is to be easy to set up and deploy.  However, just because it's easy for an experienced admin or IT solution provider to deploy doesn't mean that a business has the time or resources to execute an effective deployment.  Many small businesses have a single IT person, who has little interest or time to plan, configure, deploy, and integrate a new communication and collaboration service like Google Apps.   For these businesses, as well as larger businesses with more complex environments, outsourcing these tasks to an experienced solution provider is a smart business decision.

Most organizations transitioning to Google Apps are coming from a different system, where the majority of users are less accustomed to web-based business software.  I provide training as part of my deployment-related services, making for a smooth transition and allowing users to hit the ground running.

Google Apps is evolving quickly.  New services and feature updates are released regularly, and are integrated into Google Apps with no work required on the your end.  This is great for businesses, because it gives you access to continuous innovations, without having to undergo infrastructure changes or suffer major end-user-impacting changes. For many organizations however, this can present a challenge for end users not used to adopting to new features quickly.  For these organizations I provide ongoing training and consulting services to help you make the best use of the steady stream of new capabilities.
