Top 10 Reasons to go Google! http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en/edu/sell.html

1. Students will love you for it; Schools tells us that when they ask their students what email they'd prefer, they overwhelmingly say Gmail.

2. Free up your IT 3. Easy to deploy; No software to install,

no hardware to buy, just validate your MX records and create your accounts to get started.

4. Save money; Outsourcing the maintenance of servers to Google frees up resources that would have been spent on additional licenses and upgrades.

5. You're not alone; Your school is not alone.

6. Google protects your privacy ; More specifically, read our FAQ on privacy, visit our Privacy Center, and review how we've handled challenges to users' privacy in

7. Security as powerful as... well, Google; Same as company is ran on.

8. Innovation in real-time; prepare your students for the newest technology in the workplace .

9. 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.

10. GOOGLE’s GOT YOUR BACK! Help Center, our education customer group, or directly through the phone and email contact information.
