Once a company has moved to the cloud and is using Google Apps for Business (i.e. Gmail, Docs, Calendar etc.), the question of ‘What’s Next?” arises. Companies using Google Apps for Business see the value that it brings to their business and want to figure out ways that they can better collaborate, communicate, and coordinate efforts within the company. The answer to “What’s Next?” is found in the Google Apps Marketplace.
Google Apps Marketplace is an online store of web-based apps that companies from any industry can purchase to help solve a problem area in their business. Apps are organized by category to help users find the type of app that they need including:
- Product Type (i.e. Project Management, Sales and Marketing)
- Popular and Notable Apps
- List of Top 10 Installs
- Top New Apps
- Staff Picks
Each app in the marketplace has a full page summary so that potential users can learn more about the app’s features, benefits, specifications, customer reviews, and price.
In addition to listing apps, Google Apps Marketplace also has a searchable database of Professional Services. Businesses looking for help can search by 1) category or 2) enter their own search terms (i.e. city) in the search field at the top of the page. For example, if you type in ‘Calgary’, you will find Perpetual West Inc. listed as a small business service provider.
Overall, visiting Google Apps Marketplace is definitely worth your time if you are looking for apps that can help you run your business in a more efficient and collaborative way. If you have any questions about Google Apps Marketplace, give us a call at 1 (877) 388-6400.
