"Our Mac users have always had a second-class experience on the Exchange server. In 2001 Microsoft released a Mac Outlook client, and for about two years we had an acceptable experience for the Mac users. For much of the last decade we made do with the limited functionality in Entourage. We were hopeful that Outlook 2011 would solve a lot of our issues. Outlook 2011 was better, but it still lacked the features that our PC users enjoyed. We had SharePoint running, but it didn’t play nicely with our Macs. Now we share project calendars directly with clients via Google Calendars. Project managers can do this themselves and don’t need assistance from IT to do so. Since Going Google, Barkley has added 30 additional staff and we just add the accounts. We don’t worry about mail clients, disk space, or what platform they’ll be on; Google Apps finally put us all on the same tools. On the Web, everyone (and device) is equal.”
