Executive Luncheon: Google and the Enterprise: How is Google changing the way businesses use email, collaboration, and office applications.

On November 19th 2008, Agosto held it’s second in a series of executive luncheons. The subject of this event was Google and the Enterprise. Tom Mills, Head of Mid Market sales at Google presented their SaaS delivered Enterprise Apps. The presentation was great, Tom did lots of live demos which we captured on the video below.

One of the things that amazed me were the powerful tools within Google Spreadsheets. You can add widgets to map your customers right in the spreadsheet. You can also have formulas that go out on the web and pull in information right into the cells on your spreadsheet. Powerful…

I think Tom said it best: “Google Apps is not just a cheaper alternative to MS Office, it’s that and many more powerful capabilities that Office just can’t touch.” I think Google Apps can replace MS Office / Exchange for 95% of the users out there. The “advanced” capabilities within MS products most people just don’t use.

If you missed the presentation, please contact Agosto for more information or watch the video below from the luncheon.

Thank you – Irfan.

We had the opportunity to spend some time with Tom Mills the night before the event and left impressed about the direction Google is taking. I also got a overview of the Google Search Appliance, I can’t wait to get my hands on one. Tom Kelly of 2nd Wind Fitness also joined us that evening and shared his Google App experiences. You can see a video on 2nd Wind and Google Apps here:
