What is Office 365?A subscription-based online Office and software-plus-services suite that offers access to various services and software built around the Microsoft Office platform.
Successor to Microsoft's Business Productivity Online Suite (BPOS) – originally designed to provide hosted e-mail, social networking and collaboration, and cloud storage.
First included hosted versions of Exchange, Lync, SharePoint, Office Web Apps, along with access to the Microsoft Office 2010 desktop applications on the Enterprise plan.
With the release of Office 2013, Office 365 expanded to include new plans aimed at different types of businesses, along with new plans aimed at general consumers.

What is On-Premises ExchangeIf you have “Exchange” it’s probably what you already have.
Traditional deployment of Exchange 2007 / 2010 / 2013 in your data center or similar deployment.
Multi tenant deployments offered as a managed service offered by a third party.
Any other type of “hosted Exchange” or Exchange SaaS offering.

What is (are) Google Apps?Google Apps is a service from Google providing independently customizable versions of several Google products under a custom domain name. It features several Web applications with similar functionality to Office, including Gmail, Google Groups, Google Calendar, Talk, Drive, Play, Docs, News, Wallet and Sites.
Google Apps for business is free for 30 days, $5 per user account a month thereafter, or $50 per year. Google Apps for Education is free and offers the same amount of storage.
In addition to shared apps (calendar, docs, etc.), there is Google Apps Marketplace, an App "store" for Google user. It contains various apps, both free and for a fee, and can be installed to customize the Google experience.

SkyDrive Pro keeps offline documents synchronized with the SharePoint copy
No offline coverage within the Google Apps service level agreementLack of document fidelity with MS Office formatInconsistent user experience / Very reduced functionality from normal Google Apps UXNo access with any browser except for ChromeNo ability to edit spreadsheetsNo ability to print documentsGoogle recommends not working offline with shared documents to prevent data loss.
If an online collaborator deletes the text you edit while offline, their changes will override yours If a collaborator deletes the document you’re editing offline, your changes will be lost when you come back online because the document will no longer exist.
Google Docs Offline
“Try to use offline editing for
documents that you own and that won't be deleted without your knowledge.”
Google Drive Offline: on any devices?
Google has tried to offer Offline capabilities and failed in the past with GearsCurrent solution offers a confusing and impractical offline experience
Google Docs Offline = Productivity Loss
“Google Docs is not really suitable for business use due to limited functionality and the lack of offline capabilities.”

MOMENTUM
Customer Wins Against Google
Looked at Google Apps and said: “No!”
Switchers away from Google Apps
Customer testimonials“When we switched from Google Apps to Office 365, we freed our people to work together in synergy, and it has produced good results in every area of our business.”
“It appeared there would be a lot of downtime waiting for Google support, but with Microsoft, we could get help immediately, whenever we needed it.”
“We quickly realized Google would not meet our needs, so asking our employees to put up with less functionality was not an option for us.”
“I spent two weeks trying to figure out how the Google Apps approach would fit our business.
“We did not have the compatibility issues with Office Web Apps that we had with Google Docs.”
“The problems were threatening operational efficiency and creating staff issues. Our employees complained of lost productivity and major process interruptions…”
“We found that Gmail has some operational disadvantages for business use; for example, mail is organized by thread and folders cannot be created to organize mail.”
“Google Docs is not really suitable for business use due to limited functionality and the lack of offline capabilities.”

“It's unwise to pay too much, but it's worse to pay too little. Whenyou pay too much, you lose a little money - that's all. When you paytoo little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing youbought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do. Thecommon law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting alot - it can't be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is wellto add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you willhave enough to pay for something better.”
