(NASDAQ: <a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/google-inc-cl-a/goog/nas">GOOG</a>) has patched together an interesting suite of <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2007/02/22/google-does-compete-even-though-it-says-otherwise/">productivity applications</a>. Now, of course, the company is moving towards monetization.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.google.com/a/enterprise/">suite</a> includes Gmail, Calendar, Talk, Start Page (to create web sites), and Docs &amp; Spreadsheets. </p>
<p>No doubt, this was widely anticipated, but Google has a lot of savvy in building suspense - so as to maximize PR value.</p>
<p>As for its latest offering, the focus is primarily for business users and the pricing is $50/user on an annual basis. This is actually fairly cheap. Keep in mind that salesforce.com, Inc. (NYSE: <a href="http://finance.aol.com/quotes/salesforce-com-inc/crm/nys">CRM</a>) averages about $68/user on a monthly basis, albeit for a more robust system.</p><p><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2007/02/23/google-taking-some-office-space/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Google: Taking some Office space</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2007/02/23/google-taking-some-office-space/">Google: Taking some Office space</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Fri, 23 Feb 2007 10:27:00 EST.
