Google announced and released today a Google Apps Sync, which allows a Windows user with Outlook to seamlessly connect Outlook to Google Apps Premier Edition. Instead of needing to use 3rd party products, employees that use Google Apps can seamlessly sync e-mail, contacts, and calendar data to Google's servers instead of an Exchange server. This software, as I've mentioned, is currently only available for Premiere Edition users, but at a cost of $50 per user per year, it's a small price as compared to yearly costs per user for Exchange.
Has the Exchange server in the computer room just become an artifact for small and medium (and maybe large) businesses?

I like Office, but I don't like the price. I stopped using Outlook a couple years ago and never looked back.
I guess this is a good bridge for those who are not comfortable with cloud computing, but from my experience; it is safer than having data stored on my PC.
