Keeping up with Google Apps
Posted by Jeremy Milo, Marketing
Manager
During 2007, we introduced 40 significant improvements to
id="a4g:" >Google Apps, which is our suite
of communication, collaboration, and security apps for businesses,
schools, and organizations. Feedback from many of you, and even our
own employees, inspired these changes. And there are many more in
store — the count this year is already up to 11.
Since we introduced Google Apps a little more than a year ago, many
of these features have been of particular benefit to businesses,
like tools to migrate mail from an old email system to Google Apps;
integration of Postini's security and compliance services;
support for IMAP in Gmail; syncing tools for Google Calendar;
support for dozens of new languages; new mobile access options; and
just weeks ago, Google Sites.
We're able to release these sorts of things quickly because all
of our apps live "in the cloud." That means updates are
continuous: you get improvements without having to wait for new
versions, as you do with traditional software. Of course, it may
also mean that IT administrators get a little dizzy from the pace
of these changes.
The latest improvement will help technology departments and those
of you who already use Google Apps keep up with every change, no
matter how often they appear: Now we're documenting all updates
in an
id="ze6y" >RSS feed, so you can get notified as
they happen.

If there's something you'd like to see in Google Apps,
let us know. Feedback like yours shapes its future development
