More business are moving away from Microsoft office and heading towards Google apps for all of their office needs. There are benefits are easy to see if you use the basic Google apps they are free, but if you want more you will have to pay $50 per subscription per year. This is still dramatically less than the cost of Microsoft office. Major problem for business when transitioning to Google apps is that it web based. The business will have to have an account and so will all the employees, so if they already have an account problems could arise.

I agree with this article that Google apps are really helpful, but to implement it in an office could be trouble. I wouldn’t be against using both; there are applications that Google has, that could help business and their employees. The problems that I can see from completely using Google apps is that it can be a little confusing with all the apps and your g-mail account. The bottom line is that it really doesn’t matter if a business uses Microsoft office or Google apps it all satisfies the same function.
