Google Quickstart

Some organizations just need a little jumpstart to get going with Google Apps. If you don’t have email, document or other data to migrate from other systems (or you want to do it yourself with a little instruction), then our Quickstart may be just what you need. For as little as free for the Google Trial or as much as $250 for some additional training and support, we can get you up and running on Google Apps in just a couple of days.

We’ll take care of setting up your Google Domain Name, establishing your users, activating the Google components — calendar, documents, email, sites and video — as well as set up Postini message security and provide limited remote support. For many organizations this is the quickest, easiest, and cheapest way to get started with Google and the cloud.

Google Apps Migration and Support

Some organizations are larger or more complex, and may need a little more assistance in migrating to Google Apps. EduCloudComputing can help you migrate to Google Apps from your current email, calendar, and document systems. Along the way there will be important choices to make about configuration and migration processes. We can guide you through those decisions.

Some people welcome change more than others, and we can help prepare your staff for how Google Apps will impact their work. We specialize in training, and we can help to get your employees very comfortable using Google Apps.

Once you’ve migrated to Google Apps, we continue to support your organization.

Cloud Advice and Advocacy

Not sure how the cloud might best serve your business needs? EduCloudComputing is ready to be your primary source for cloud advice and to be your advocate as you implement cloud services. We get to know what is important to your business through a full needs assessment. Once we have completed the assessment, we will create a customized synopsis for what cloud services would benefit your organization as well as a project plan for implementing them.

We’ll work directly with the selected cloud services to implement your new cloud capabilities. As your advocate, EduCloudComputing will remove the burden from your staff for the implementations. We’ll work directly with the vendors to make sure the configuration meets your needs, that the implementation timeline is appropriate, that important details like data migration don’t get overlooked, and that integration is given adequate consideration.
