Professional email versus Amateur email in the Age of Now

We are living in The Age of Now - find almost anything on your phone or mobile device;-

• buy it
• sell it
• invoice it
• compare it
• map it
• ticket it
• pay for it !

Does your provider say you cannot access email across multiples devices or via mobile or smartphone, does your remote email look like something out of Star Trek in 1966 - really cool and advanced, for that era.

Does your business email look like  firstnameLastname77@yahoo.com  or MyCompanyName@hotmail.com 

In marketing and promotion terms amateur email does not present your business in a professional light, it also sends a message about your level of tech savvy.

There are over 400 million Google mail users worldwide and via Google Apps for Business you can have the same feature rich system for your business for $5 per user per month. 

For the one woman / one man band you get the advantage of  being able to create up to 30 aliases  e.g. sales, accounts, info - these aliases can be used to filter your email thus acting in the role of virtual assistant. You can access it with any device, you have 25gb of space, you have access to Documents, Spreadsheets, Presentations via Google Drive, plus Google Sites, Calendar and a range of other features.

The primary aspect is permanence, with your own domain and industrial grade email provision you get 99.9% uptime guarantee. When you create sales@TheNameofYourBusiness.com   it will work for you actively over time, since the address is permanent, i.e. you own it, you control it. The same address means incoming enquiries are never lost, even if they originate from old sales campaigns;-

• via advertising
• via print media
• via video ads
• business cards
• on vehicles.. 
• even just by intuition 

with prospective customers assuming
1. you Must have sales@thenameofyourbusiness.com
2. you are monitoring it for Sales :-)

Adopting the web, creating a website and using Google for your Email is not rocket science despite the number of rocket engineers out there. There are essentially 3 Elements;-

Element 1 - the domain name is or has been purchased from a Registrar

Google launches Drive

Google Drive

• Create and collaborate. 
• Store everything safely and access it anywhere (especially while on the go). 
• Search everything.

5GB of storage for free. You can choose to upgrade to 25GB for $2.49/month, 100GB for $4.99/month or even 1TB for $49.99/month. When you upgrade to a paid account, your Gmail account storage will also expand to 25GB.

See the Official launch info here

This is just the beginning, Drive is an open platform and third party developers are working on features like send faxes, edit videos and create website mockups directly from Drive.

There is significant debate going on with regard to Drive and other competing systems, e.g. Dropbox however just being able to edit files and store / access them across multiples environments is a much more attractive proposition than just synchronisation. (IMHO)

Google Docs/Presentations features

Google Docs/Presentations adds more features... always incremental improvement :-)

Google Apps Mobile Management

Google Apps mobile management is Free for all Google Apps for Business, Education and Government customers. The Administrator can view reports, enforce device policies and remotely block or wipe a stolen device, additionally you can audit Apps that access your Google Apps via Android devices. Policies can be set by organisational unit (e.g. the Finance Dept) including password policies, encryption (dependent on Andriod version) , activation approval for user installed Apps accessing the Google Apps data. There are some limitations on the granularity of reports and controls depending on the type of device.

There is also a degree of self service possible for users who have installed the Google Apps device policy via their My Device page;- from there they can remotely reset the pin, ring the device or remotely locate if location is turned on.
