DEPLOYMENT
After running the trial, you will have a much better understanding of what Google Apps can
do for your organization. The next step in the process is to deploy the services and start
using Google Apps as your Enterprise Solution.
What are some key points I should look into for deployment?
• Email Delivery Options: Google Apps has multiple methods of delivering mail (MX
records, gateways, routing, etc) that require different configurations.
• Enabling Services: Administrators can choose to enable or disable each individual
service in Google Apps.
• Data Migration: Google Apps allows administrators to migrate email accounts from
their legacy mail solutions to Google Apps.
• Single Sign On: Single Sign On allows your users to sign in to your organization's
portal and access Google Apps services seamlessly.
Is there a service that I can hire to help me deploy Google Apps?
There are many experienced companies offering setup services for your domain. You can
find listings and user-recommended services in the Google Solutions Marketplace. Partners
can assist you with setup, migration, and implementation needs, as well as comfort in
having someone who's been through a Google Apps deployment before.
I want to deploy Google Apps myself. Do you have any tips?
Refer to the Deployment Guide for sample messaging, typical time lines, and training for
your users. Making sure that your users understand and are prepared for the transition to
Google Apps is an important part of a successful deployment.
For more information, the Deployment Guide contains best practices and much more.
