Why Would You Choose Office 365 Over Google Apps?

You need technology that can be as flexible as your business is.

Growing companies are constantly challenged to find technologies that help them to simplify without giving up control, work better together and be productive anywhere. And they want to get more value for their investments.

Because your company is growing, you’ve got more to do. But chances are, you still have to do it all with less cost and limited resources. To grow, you’ve got to do more with less.

If you’re like many small to midsize businesses, you’re using Google’s online productivity suite. But more and more companies are turning to Office 365 over Google Apps.
