Google Apps Premier Edition

What is it exactly?

Google Apps Premier Edition is simply another name for Google Apps for Business. They offer the same services, i.e. Gmail, Google Docs, Google Calendar, Google Sites, Google Video, 25 GB of space for emails per user, message and account security powered by Postini, 99.9% email uptime guaranteed, and so on. Prior to changing the name of the product to Google Apps for Business, this product was seen as a step up from the free version of Google Apps. Originally it was referred to as Google Apps for Your Domain, which eventually evolved into a more encompassing term of Google Apps Premier Edition, and finally has become the most widespread title of Google Apps for Business.

What Makes it “Premier”?

If you are a single user that doesn’t need collaborative tools, large amounts of space for emails, as well as integrated accounts from legacy systems, it makes no sense to have Google Apps Premier Edition. However, Google Apps Premier is called as such because of its ability to help any organization perform to a premier level. The tools offered in the Google Apps platform allow any business to grow at a more rapid and productive pace than when using their prior platform.
