Google adapts Applications for Smaller Businesses

Google has changed its applications pricing structure in order to make it more appealing to the smaller businesses. Google has recently introduced a flexible plan that offers $5 per month as a pricing option for users and it also requires no contractual commitment. The pricing option currently is priced at $50 per year per user and has a one year commitment attached to it. This has now changed and has been given a new title, the “Annual Plan”. Google has also scrapped the plan for accepting upfront payments from new customers, which ensure that they will only pay at the end of the month. Now, direct debit payments are available. However, it’s not all good news for every business. Google’s changes to its applications will upset new customers. Under the new rules, new customers having 10 users or more will have to sign up for the paid option for the Google Apps. Before, businesses with as many as 50 users could enjoy this service for free.

Multiple Google Accounts and One Browser

Google is testing the option, which will allow users to use multiple accounts within the same browser as per the Google Operating System. Before, users had to develop kludgy workarounds in order to use multiple accounts. People have various roles to play online, as a personal Gmail user, contribute a group blog, use the Google Reader, Google Buzz or Google Calender. Performing these multiple tasks in one browser was not possible, which Google didn’t realize. The new multiple log-in screen is not however widely available. It includes Google Calendar, Google Reader, Gmail, Google Sites, Google Code and Google Docs.

What they need to brush up is to integrate more between the personal Google accounts and Google Apps accounts. Google noted that they had already thought about testing such changes. “Back in May we announced ...
