Google recently launched an Application Market Place comprising services from third party providers of Accounting and Finance Applications and others that integrate with Google Apps.
This is good news for developers of Small Business Accounting and Finance Applications as well as users of Accounting and Finance Applications.
The launch of a Marketplace by Google has provided a great Business opportunity to third party developers of Applications than can integrate easily with Google Apps such as Gmail, Google Calendar and Google docs to develop their Applications using the Google platform. But how are developers and Business owners going to benefit? You may be asking. This is how it will all work.
For an entrance fee of only $100 a developer can join the Google Apps Program and have access to add as many Apps as they wish to add to the Google Apps Market Place for approval. Once the submitted Apps are approved, the developer will have access to over 25 million Google customers. The Apps will be available for Google customers to buy and Google only gets a percentage from the sale. This demonstrates how much Google is embracing “small players” in the Market a situation I would describe as a win-win situation.
Business owners and other users of Accounting and finance Applications will also benefit greatly from the Google Marketplace, with only a few clicks as a customer, you will have access to product reviews and know the most hot products on the market making it even more easy to choose the right Accounting and Finance Application you require for your Business.
