Re: Google Apps Premier and OpenOffice

["Jeff Crosby" <jlcrosby@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

No, only that we haven't found anything else we like.

Over a period of years, various people here have tried Notes, Time&Chaos,
Act, Thunderbird with calendar, and at least one more that I can't remember
right now.  We keep coming back to Outlook.

We're looking for the functionality of Exchange w/Outlook.  The vendor who
would sell us the licenses and set up the Exchange server suggested we look
at Google Apps, which he would also help us set up (even though he stands to
make more money with Exchange).  A cohort of his in Indy switched a large
school system from Exchange to Google Apps and they love it.  Saved them a
fair amount of money.
