3. Is Google Apps compatible with Microsoft products?

Google Docs: Yes, Docs is compatible with Microsoft Office file formats and many other standards such as PDF, OpenOffice, and ODF. Standard Microsoft file formats are supported for import/export from and to all these popular formats. Our products are designed to open standards and are compatible with many other products.  Gmail also allows you to read your Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, and PDF documents directly from your inbox -- no additional software required.

Messaging and Collaboration: Google Apps are built on an open and extensible platform with extensibility and integration in mind. Google's open API standard, Gdata, provides easy and secure programmatic access to data within applications such as Google Docs, Google Calendar, Gmail, etc. In addition, Google's popular Gadget development platform is ideal for creating enterprise mashups and workflow integrations to serve business needs in a fraction of the time and cost of traditional development environments (e.g., .NET, SOAP). Over 50,000 gadgets have been developed on this platform, many of them are enterprise specific applications such as CRM and ERP integrations as well as workflow management.

4. If I decide to stop using Google Apps, can I get my data back?

Yes, our solution has open APIs to all applications and you can get email, calendars, and documents back in other industry formats (IMAP, iCal, MS Office) for migration purposes.

5. Security and Reliability: Do I get dedicated servers?

No. Google operates what is called a "multi-tenant" environment. While there is logical separation between users and corporations, storage and compute power are shared across a vast computing array. This is at the heart of Google's architecture and it's what provides the scalability, reliability, and cost effectiveness for which Google is known.

6. Why is Google Apps secure?

Google operates one of the largest networks of distributed data centers in the world, and we go to great lengths to protect the data and intellectual property on these servers. These facilities are protected around the clock and we have a dedicated security operations team which focuses specifically on maintaining the security of our environment. The controls, processes and policies that protect these data have successfully completed a SAS 70 Type II audit. There are three main components to our security practices:

• People – Google employs a full-time information security team including some of the world’s foremost experts in information, application, and network security. This team is responsible for the company’s perimeter defense systems, security review processes, and customized security infrastructure, as well as for developing, documenting, and implementing Google’s security policies and standards.
• Process – Security is part of the Google DNA. Each application is built from the ground up with security in mind. Google applications go through multiple security reviews as part of the Secure Code development process. The application development environment is closely restricted and carefully monitored to maximize security. External security audits are also regularly conducted to provide additional assurance.
• Technology – Google Apps data is fractured and obfuscated across multiple servers and disks, making it human-unreadable. Data is replicated in multiple data centers for redundancy and consistent availability. To reduce exploit risks, each Google server is custom-built with only the necessary software components, and the homogeneous server architecture enables rapid updates and configuration changes across the entire network when necessary.
