Salesforce.com Adds Google Apps

Salesforce.com said Monday it will integrate Google applications with its products.

The Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) provider, which first partnered with Google last year, will offer Gmail, Google Docs, Google Talk and Google Calendar to its customers for free.

"Google and Salesforce.com have always had similar models and philosophies about delivering innovations made possible by the Internet," said Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google, in a prepared statement. “Together, we are making more applications and services available online so customers can focus on building their core business rather than the applications that support it."

Salesforce.com will sell a Google Apps support package that should be available this summer. For $10 per month per user, subscribers will get phone support, billing and provisioning, platform APIs, other third-party applications and advanced Google Apps functionality.
