Google and Salesforce.com are reportedly discussing an
alliance that will potentially give them an advantage over
Microsoft.
The Wall Street Journal revealed that although Salesforce.com is
not a particularly big company, it is one of the "fastest
growing segments of the software market" and provides "customer
relationship management (CRM) service to businesses worldwide".
The details of the potential partnership could be ironed out in
the coming weeks, with a web-based service integrating some of
Google's online services, including email and instant messaging,
with Salesforce's CRM tools.
Google and Salesforce will be hoping their alliance can produce
software solutions to rival Microsoft.
The integration of Google Apps, the company's web-delivered
software, with Salesforce.com's CRM software is expected to take
a lot of time and investment.
"The new partnership may look good on paper, but mashing
together product offerings and marketing them to sophisticated
corporate customers is much easier said than done. And,
Microsoft has a big head start," revealed Douglas A. McIntyre on
24/7Wall Street.com.
Meanwhile, Google has revealed plans to digitize at least
800,000 Indian books and manuscripts that are currently held in
Mysore University in Karnataka.
"Written in both papers and palm leaves, there are around
100,000 manuscripts in our library, some dating back to the
eighth century," revealed J. Shashidhara Prasad, vice chancellor
of the university.
"The effort is to restore and preserve this cultural heritage
for effective dissemination of knowledge."
