There are a lot of small players in the SAAS movement but companies look at Google and they trust Google. A lot of companies (and execs especially) don't trust open source. I'm not taking an opinion on open source, but a lot of companies choose paid solutions and they sleep better as a result.

Whether Google Apps is the best option is an open question. But companies make decisions based on imperfect information--they don't want to spend the time to research and implement all possible solutions.</p>MCFThu, 22 Feb 2007 18:21:20 -0000http://venturebeat.com/2007/02/22/google-to-sell-online-office-suite-for-50/#comment-14673088<p>This is not very impressive…..It just the same google hype…about business applications that can never be any better than the offering that is currently available from Open Office…..The cost of the Open Office solution per user is 0….and unlike the goolge offering it is open source…..this means that if your business needs to add some functionality they can do it….</p><p>The <a href="http://Adelph.us" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="Adelph.us">Adelph.us</a> social network currently offers its members “Lightapp” the best business productivity application that is currently available….and it includes a presentation application….and all of the applications are compatible with Microsoft office….and it can be all be used online today for free…..</p>williamThu, 22 Feb 2007 12:04:59 -0000
