Google Apps for Education offers value that is yet to be matched in the world of cloud-based messaging and collaboration. For $0/user/year (that's right, it's free), faculty, staff, and students of educational institutions at all levels can leverage this vast set of customizable communication and collaboration tools.

Tools like Google Sites and Google Groups are ready-made for the world of education, enabling information exchange and instruction at entirely new levels.

Google Apps brings you the latest technologies and industry best practices for datacenter management, network application security, and data integrity.

• Students will love you for it - Schools say that when students are asked what email they'd prefer, they overwhelmingly say Gmail.
• Free up your IT - Focus your IT on activities that add value instead of worrying about the uptime of your email services.
• Easy to deploy
• - Outsourcing the maintenance of servers to Google frees up resources that would have been spent on additional licenses and upgrades.
• Google protects your privacy - Google's business is built on users' trust: trust in their ability to properly secure your data and their commitment to respect the privacy of the information you place in their systems by not giving that information to others or using it inappropriately.
• Security as powerful as Google - The security that is provided to Google Apps customers is the same security that Google relies on to protect www.google.com. In addition, Google's entire organization runs on Google Apps.
• Innovation in real-time - What better way to prepare your students for the newest technology in the workplace, than by giving it to them as a part of their education?
• Collaborate globally - Google Docs, our word processing application, doesn't just give you access to the same document, it actually allow students to work on the same document at the same time from anywhere in the world.
