Google and Salesforce.com on Monday announced an expanded alliance to deliver online programs competing with packaged software at the heart of Microsoft's global empire.
Google "Apps" including email, calendar, and document writing will be included in software services offered by Salesforce, which essentially serves as a for-hire technology department businesses via the Internet.
Salesforce is a leader in "software as a service" (SaaS), which is referred to as "cloud computing" because programs are hosted online instead of installed and maintained on users' machines.
