This past week Google announced the ability to sync Google Apps with a LDAP (lighweight directory access protocol). Simply put, LDAP is a electronic directory that often stores user information. In corporate environments an LDAP is helpful because you can manage user accounts from one location. For the users it is also helpful because it allows you to use a single login ID for various corporate applications and websites.
While this functionality is beyond the needs of many businesses with under 10 users, it adds to the reasons why businesses with more than 10 users want to consider Google Applications for their email and calendar system.
