Who should use this deployment strategy?

Our 30-day "fast-track" deployment strategy for medium businesses is ideal for most organizations of between 50 to 400 users; however, companies of any size can use this strategy, depending on their needs. Use this strategy if you are not:
  • Migrating more than one domain to Google Apps
  • Implementing advanced authentications systems, such as OpenID or OAuth
  • Implementing a single-sign-on system
  • Using a BlackBerry Enterprise Server and want to keep using it after the transition
