Our easy-to-use wizard will walk you through all the steps in the setup process, without disrupting your web site or email system. Here’s what you’ll do:

Verify domain ownership << Wait 15 min to 48 hrs for this to be done.
Create user(s) (Use the email instructions tab, copy those into Keypass and cc to Project Manager that are sent to the GMAIL address of the new user)

A. The next step prompts me to setup billing.

Run a pilot if you need to test the product or deployment process
Activate email and setting up access on mobile phones
Decide whether to migrate your old data, and how much to migrate
Add core Google apps such as Calendar, Drive, and Sites
Add apps from the Google Apps Marketplace to make your business more productive
