Google Tightens Apps Security

by Gilad on October 4th, 2007

Google took another step today into making its Google Apps product more appealing with integrating security, storage and compliance services from Postini. Postini was searchengineherald.com/2007/07/09/google-buys-security-firm-for-625-million-will-it-help/”>purchased by Google over the summer (July) especially for this matter and for now will be integrated into Google Apps Premiere Edition.

The move Wednesday is the latest in a series of forays Google is making into the enterprise space. Google Apps Premier Addition goes up against established enterprise messaging services, most prominently Lotus Notes from IBM and Microsoft Exchange. Google Apps includes a suite of services, such as GMail, Docs, Calendar and GTalk, which are available for business use. However, with Postini, Google Apps Premier Edition will now have a large customer base from which to draw.

Google obviously realizes its weaknesses and is making moves to improve its offerings based on that. This seems to be a smart move on their behalf will most definately help them capture marketshare.
