Microsoft under attack from Google and Salesforce

Probably two of Microsoft’s oldest enemies who joined forces a while ago, are due to announce that they will be increasing their efforts in the to attract more customers for their customer management and office software, which is mainly directed at business users.

The combined services will include Google’s suite of office programmes and applications, along with Salesforce’s customer relationship management software. The total package will now include email, word processing and even spread sheet applications all in one easy package.

This could be a good boost for Google’s software package, which did start off ok however seems to have stalled a little over the past few months for one reason or another. It is not known if this alliance is good enough to turn businesses away from the Microsoft family of applications.
