SMBs can be Nimble with Google Apps

For years, SMBs have relied on complex and costly servers and desktop applications to provide support for sales, marketing & customer service automation, accounting, project management and more. Today, companies are turning to solutions like Google Apps to replace that costly infrastructure with cost-effective, business applications that run in the cloud.
