Google Apps for your school?
A little while ago I blogged about the possibility of your school nolonger having their own server but working from a central server.
Well further to that conversation I have had a discussion about Google Apps , that for a fraction of the cost of hardware and tech support you schools system can be run through the Google cloud. It means that there is a huge saving in cost and the cost that is incurred is spread out evenly through the year. There is a Google reseller available for this system available in New Zealand. Have a watch of the video. I certainly will be recommending it to my school.
Certainly worth investigating further.
Reseller contact here . Just mention where you heard about it!
Keen to hear where you get to as a school, as I think Google certainly meets a need some schools have. Not to mention the price. Please share the next chapter of your story.
