your current service and they offer exactly what you need, then there's no reason to switch. The grass isn't always greener on the other side.

it would be worth trying out. I've used it for a small business (35 employees) for little over 2 years now and haven't had any problems with it being slow or down.

I'd try Google Apps for free first (up to 10 users) https://www.google.com/a/cpanel/standard/new3, and if you're happy, switch over to Goggle Apps for Business http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en/business/features.html.

One downfall to free trial

Beware, that the one major downfall of the free trial- is that once you use it, it will be hard to switch back to consolidate all your emails, contacts, calendar etc....

Google Business Apps may be what you need

I have installed Google Business Apps for several companies. The deciding factor for them and my company was "how will I need, and WHERE will I need to access my email, calendar, shared calendars and contacts/shared contacts"

These days, most people don't check and respond to emails from one device- the downfall from this is you will not have a record of all sent and received items.

Myself and clients check emails and calendars from work desktops, laptops, iPads and phones across all OS platforms. This products installs on all devices and pushes all email and calendar etc- so you never have lost emails, even the sent items.

It is worth it in time saved alone. The days of searching for emails is over. The shared calanders works great for my clients who are in the service or legal field.

Good luck.
