An initial caveat: This study was fully funded by Google. That said, for those in the legal services community debating the respective advantages and/or disadvantages of Google Apps verses MS Exchange may be interested to read Google Apps & Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 – Total Cost of Ownership Analysis.

(The study is posted at MC+A, our GSA consultant for The Findability Project.)

The cost numbers for Google Apps are premised on a business Premier account, costs which would be predictably less for non-profits relying on the Education edition of Google Apps.
