Google Apps Marketplace: 10 Enterprise Must-Haves

By Don Reisinger on 2010-11-30


The Google Apps Marketplace is an absolutely necessary resource for any enterprise customers that use products or services in Google’s Apps suite. The marketplace boasts programs that are designed to enhance the usability of Google Apps, and features the kind of enterprise functionality that the vast majority of firms will be happy to see. Admittedly, Google Apps Marketplace is mostly useful to those business users that are Google customers. But, in many cases, the apps available in the marketplace have been adapted from services that are available to any other users on the Web. The result is a place where Google customers can go to dramatically expand the overall usability of their Google Business Apps installation. And it generally makes for a more viable experience for customers. So, if your company is using Google Business Apps, or if you’re thinking about deploying them, be sure to click through this slideshow. In the HTML field above each slide you'll find direct links to all of the apps profiled. We highlight apps available in the Google marketplace that will appeal to companies looking for more productivity, control, or simple ease-of-use. Take a look.
