Google Apps Editors and Sharing Improve

As you know, if you've been to some of our Google Apps workshops, development on GA is never standing still.  Over the next couple of weeks, Google Apps customers will be seeing some updates to their document center.

Starting June 16th, Google will introduce some new features in Google Apps:

• A new sharing summary makes sharing easier and gives you more control over your files.   See at-a-glance how a document is shared.
• A new document editor now offers character-by-character real-time collaboration, better document import, and many new features like built-in chat with co-editors.
• Finally, the new spreadsheet editor offers many new features like an editable formula bar, cell auto-complete and faster performance.  

Of course, Alpine is an Authorized Google Apps reseller.  Let us know if you want to upgrade that creaky, old Exchange server with some cloud-based, supercomputing goodness.
