After the recent partnership of Google with CapGemini to help in promoting Google Apps for Organizations some major companies like Microsoft and Zimbra have been criticizing Google Apps for its shortfalls.

While I agree that Google Apps has its own shortcomings, but I see no reason Google Apps can’t have a mass adoption by the enterprise sector. Here are some reasons why Google Apps is the right choice for most Enterprise Users.

• 1. Eliminate email hassles instantly. No more outages, lost mail, spamming, phishing, viruses, security breaches.
• 2. Reduce costs. Eliminate the hardware, software, maintenance, upgrades, and services associated with your current environment.
• 3. Enable collaboration for everyone, from anywhere. Access and collaborate on all your documents and spreadsheets from anywhere in the world via a web browser.
• 4. Get everyone on the same page. Bring all your key information together in one central, easy-to-use, searchable location.
• 5. Reduce IT overload. Google handles all technical aspects, freeing up your team to focus on other projects, and allowing you to reduce your online communication and collaboration costs to one low monthly fee.
• 6. Instantly increase the productivity, knowledge, teamwork, and communication capabilities. Provide instantly accessible tools, including Web-based business class email, online document management, online calendars, blogs, wikis, etc. to your business and your team.

Yahoo Mail has finally moved out of beta and the users should see the new Yahoo Mail in the next 3-6 Weeks. Looks like Yahoo has done some hard work and come up with some interesting features like Text Messaging right from the Yahoo Mail interface in select countries.

There are a host of other changes that include performance improvements, and keyboard shortcuts to add contacts, addresses, integrated maps, calendar and of course Yahoo Search is there too. I am not a big fan of Yahoo Mail since it seems to be a little bit bloated unlike GMail which has been kept to the bare minimum intrusion.

If you get a chance to test out the new Yahoo Mail then please let me in the comments on how it works for you.
