Chromebook Series – Part 2: Overview of Chromebook Apps
In Part 1 of this blog series, I took a look at Chromebooks from a macro level and highlighted eight key features that businesses should take note of. In Part 2 of this blog series, it’s time to switch gears and look at the meat and potatoes – the Chromebook apps. Chrome OS is essentially a glorified web browser (albeit a nice one) and requires you to run cloud-based apps. Given the growth in Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), there are apps for most typical business requirements but are they good enough to replace their traditional desktop competition? Let’s take a closer look at the apps that are available for Chromebook users:

Which Cloud-Based Project Management App Integrates Well With Google Apps For Business?
One the questions we often get asked is “What is the best cloud app for Project Management?”. For small and medium sized businesses (SMB), there are a lot of choices so it’s important to understand what you’re trying to accomplish. For most SMBs that are looking to cloud computing, they understand the inherent savings that come with it (i.e. no large up front costs like hardware, license fees and maintenance). Now, it’s about improving the bottom line which means rapid time to benefit, better collaboration and integration with existing systems are all of concern. However, it’s integration in the longterm that we believe provides the most benefits. With cloud apps, one of the biggest benefits is the ability to integrate them easier than traditional on-premise apps that sit behind network firewalls.
