In a previous post two people told me a post in which I explain why I think Google is not suited as a business platform told me I shouldn't verdict Google Apps before actually working with it. I took the challenge. Last week I signed up for a Google Apps Premier account. Over the last week I have been working with Google Apps and will continue to do so over the next few weeks. I'll write down my experiences on this blog.

But first. You must know:

• I have been working with Microsoft Office almost all of my professional career;
• I am a heavy Computer user. I spend about 3 to 10 hours a day behind my computer working;
• Wortell, the company I work for, concentrates on Microsoft technology.

In the posts following this post I will paint an honest picture of my experiences. Just keep the things I said in mind.

Next:

• My experiences with Gmail part 1 (I will post it tomorrow)
• My experiences with Gmail part 2 (I will post it Thursday)
• My experiences with Google calendar (I will post it Saturday)
• My experiences with Docs (Documents) part 1 (somewhere next week)
• My experiences with Docs (Presentations) part 2 (somewhere next week)
• My experiences with Docs (Spreadsheets) part 3 (somewhere next week)
• My experiences with Docs (Forms and Drawings) part 4 (somewhere next week)
• My experiences with Sites (sometime after that)
• Google Apps: My experiences, the verdict
