These as some pretty awesome statistics on economic value of using technology (aka Google Apps) to increase collaboration. I’m impressed. Not surprised, but impressed.

We recently commissioned the help of Forrester Consulting to measure the “Total Economic Impact” of Google Apps that customers can expect over three years by moving from traditional technologies to the cloud. While we encourage you to assess the potential impact for yourself, Forrester’s analysis (PDF) found that with Google Apps, a typical large business of 18,000 employees experiences:

• Productivity gains even larger than cost savings
• Over 300% return on investment
• Break-even under seven months
• Total economic impact over $10,000,000 (NPV)
