We are excited to announce a new partnership with Google that will help you get even more out of your on-demand applications -- both CRM and beyond. Today, we launched Salesforce for Google Apps, which combines the power of Salesforce CRM with the Google applications many of us are already using, including Gmail, Calendar, Google Talk, Documents & Spreadsheets, and Presentation in a seamlessly integrated, affordable, and 100% on-demand new offering.

At the same time, we have unveiled a new "Google" category on AppExchange which already features ten applications, and will undoubtedly grow as more developers build joint applications on the Force.com and Google platforms-as-a-service.

When you are running a business, you have better things to worry about than manually syncing unwieldy Excel spreadsheets and trying to keep track of different versions of Powerpoint email attachments. With Salesforce for Google Apps and the complementary set of applications in the new Google category on AppExchange, all of your organization's critical information and communication data are now fully and automatically synced on-demand, accessible from any browser on any device. This is exciting news for Salesforce customers and Google users -- the two biggest on-demand companies in the world coming together for the End of Software and the End of Office!
