I assume you're talking about Google Apps so you can have an institutional domain? We switched over to Google Apps over a year ago and have loved everything about it. It's extremely cheap, but still reliable and flexible. The switchover was painless and the administration of the account (and the end user accounts) is dead simple. We use all the tools every day - video, voice and text messaging, Google Docs, file storage, calendars, etc. I have about 20k messages in my mailbox (including all the attachments I've sent or received) and I've still only used 7% of my allotted mail storage. Imagine never needing to harass your users about attachment size or cleaning out their mail accounts. And imagine never thinking about archiving (and retrieving archived messages!) spam, or user admin. And have your boss imagine you never asking for a new server, or an upgrade to Exchange, or hearing complaints from your end users. It's a no-brainer.
