Going Google across the 50 States: Google Apps “just works” for Massachusetts -based marketing firm
Friday, August 20, 2010

Google Enterprise Blog

Editor’s note:
Over the past couple months, thousands of businesses have added their Gone Google story to our community map and even more have used the
Go Google cloud calculator
to test drive life in the cloud. To highlight some of these companies’ Gone Google stories, we decided to talk to
Google Apps
customers across the United States. Check back each week to see which state we visit next. To learn more about other organizations that have gone Google and share your story, visit our

In Massachusetts, we find Sean Leach, Systems Architect for
EPS Communications
— a strategic marketing firm near Boston. With experienced staff, EPS marries multiple disciplines to offer client services including direct response media, interactive development, design, and custom content and publishing. EPS is so excited to have gone Google that Sean created the picture below showing each of his co-workers, and shared the story of why the company switched.
“In late 2007 we made the switch from a traditional email POP server and a ‘whatever you can find’ calendar and docs solution to Google Apps. We haven't looked back since.
Within Google Apps, we mainly use Gmail, Calendar, and Docs. Because of the tight integration between the three services, as well as the ‘it just works’ nature of the products, we've definitely had a marked increase in productivity and user happiness. No more POP server being down, no more having to try and track down an email or document. It's all there in the cloud, all the time, and easy to find because of Google search.
Our other favorite part of Google Apps is that everything is accessible from any computer or mobile phone with a web browser, no matter where our jobs take us. Our employees can be just as productive outside the office as they can inside it. That is a big deal for a small company. It allows us to be both flexible and productive. It's something we truly can't live without.
If you haven't tried Google Apps, you really owe it to yourself (and your company) to give it a shot. It's wonderful.”
