MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (Feb. 7, 2008) - Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) today
announced Google Apps Team Edition as the simplest and fastest way for
groups of employees and students to collaborate within an organization
using Google Apps(tm). Once users verify their business or school email
address, they can instantly share documents and calendars securely
without burdening IT for support. Team Edition can easily be switched
to Google Apps Standard, Premier or Education Edition for
communications and collaboration across the entire company.

"More than half a million businesses have already chosen Google Apps
to collaborate and share information across the organization," said
Dave Girouard, vice president and general manager of enterprise,
Google. "With Team Edition, groups of individuals at school or work
can just as easily get the benefits of Google Apps by simply signing
up online."

Once a user has signed up for Team Edition using a verified business
or school email address, they can instantly invite others to join, or
easily identify people within their organization already using Google
Apps, to collaborate and share documents. Together, teams of people
within a business or school can:
* Work on the same document, spreadsheet or presentation (instead of
emailing changes in multiple copies of the same attachment)
* Publish documents and calendars for the team to view and update
* Access information from any computer, even mobile phones
With Google Apps, there is no hardware or software to buy, install or
maintain, so businesses can quickly begin to collaborate with minimal
up front investment. Google Apps Team Edition currently includes:
* Google Docs(tm) to create and share documents, spreadsheets and
presentations
* Google Calendar(tm) to arrange meetings, set schedules, and publish
event information
* Google Talk(tm) for instant messaging and free PC-to-PC voice calls
* Start Page where users can access their Google Apps services and
customized content
"Our business has been tripling every year, and we needed better tools
to help us keep up with the growth. So we started using Google Docs
and Google Calendar with our personal accounts to do things like
coordinate customer visits and work together on documents, even when
we're traveling separately," said Paul Laurie, co-founder of Walking
Tree Travel (walkingtree.org), an organization that leads educational
trips abroad for high school students. "We're thrilled Google Apps
Team Edition now allows everyone at Walking Tree to be connected
automatically."

Google Apps Team Edition lets colleagues and departments at work, or
study groups at school, immediately begin sharing information within a
domain. In addition, the Team Edition can easily be upgraded to Google
Apps Standard, Premier or Education Edition for full administrative
control, such as the ability to set default sharing options, decide
which applications are available on the network, or determine who has
access. When organizations switch to Google Apps Premier Edition,
they also receive business integration capabilities and 24/7 support,
including phone support for critical issues.
