Internet search giant http://www.Google.com and software-as-a-service leader http://www.Salesforce.com are combining two products to take on http://www.Microsoft.com
The companies planned to release a joint offering called Salesforce for Google Apps today, combining online customer relationship management software with productivity applications.
The pairing will compete with Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online. It also points toward the companies' designs on Microsoft's broader business-software offerings.
"This is freedom to focus on the benefits and not focus on the software," said Bruce Francis, vice president of corporate strategy at Salesforce.
