New! Google Apps is Out of Beta

This year we've focused on making it as easy as possible for large enterprises to switch to Google by launching new features and removing key barriers to adoption. Today, we're taking this one step further. Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Docs and Google Talk are now out of beta, alleviating doubt that Apps is a mature product suite.

We're also continuing to implement procedures that offer our Apps customers even greater reliability. These include live replication of data to other locations for near-instant disaster recovery, and special handling of business users' data in our data center operations.

Finally, in the coming weeks we'll be launching email delegation and retention to help companies manage email and comply with industry regulations. Both features are in testing and will be rolled out to Premier Edition customers as soon as they're ready.

All of these new features together highlight that now is the time to switch to Google Apps. To make it easier for enterprise IT managers to access tools and learn more about switching, we've built out resource centers for Microsoft Exchange and Lotus Notes. Take a look to see how we're positioning Apps to these two key audiences. For more details on the new launches, read our post on the Official Google Enterprise Blog.
