Google SaaS for the Enterprise. Episode I

It seems that Google for the Enterprise, Year 0, will be this year. As posted by Christan Fauré on his blog , the first Press Release presenting a shift from a large corporation to Google Apps could occur in the coming weeks. If Google Apps is not yet ready for a any large corporation (because of MS Word legacy, poor Google Spreadsheet features…), this PR will demonstrate that Google Apps is not dedicated to Small and Medium Business. I do not know what company Christian is thinking about, and since Christian is not working in the same company as I am, I bet we do not think about the same companies. So we can wait for several announces. As many of you, I was first skeptical about SaaS, especially with Google Apps. Salesforce.com dominance is obvious, given the level of features and possible integration with corporate IT. For Google, I thought it was just targeted to SME market. After a quick look and some explanations form my beloved CTOs or my friend François, it is obvious that Google has many of the items a large corporation is looking for. You think that Google Apps has no SSO? Look at this. SAML based SSO. Many more example will come. Yes. This is for sure. Google Apps Year 0 will be 2008.

Hi Denis,
If you are thinking of a company, that might be the same :-)
BTW all of your links are not working, you just put “http://” in the href of your html.

Hope to talk to you soon ; maybe at “Solutions Linux” ?
regards,
CF

The company I think of has 12 letters in its name :-)
