I know I mentioned this briefly, but if you have a small trucking business, get a professional sounding domain make an easy change at your domain and use google apps. Add and modify user accounts from google’s interface. Have a professional presence and be able to access email from cell phones, laptops or a public internet kiosk.

I’ve worked at many places where 1 or 2 poorly trained hardware people are tasked with operating an Exchange server. Problems, outages, priv problems, admin shutting down people over a disagreement, etc. All that can go with Google’s apps.

I’ve experienced the outages and they are minimal in comparison. You can back up Gmail and numerous other services are coming. The comparison’s to Microsoft are not even close.

You should always have reservations about ANY software, but some are unfounded with Google.

Google outage only affected 14% of it’s customers. The gmail outage wasn’t really an outage, you could still get to your email from POP3 clients and no emails were lost. Sidekick customers didn’t really lose anything and the only people it affected would have been those people that reset their phone when there was no data on the server to sync with. They did have a backup, the news that they “lost” everything was premature.

You’re always giving your data to someone else. Just make sure who you’re giving it to can keep it secure and backed up.

Google’s outage today, the Sidekick loss of data and the gmail outage a few weeks ago, has convinced me maybe giving your data to someone else may not be the best idea.
