By Daya Baran at April 09, 2008 0 Comments
Google just announced the creation of an online marketplace for Google-related solutions released by 3rd parties. The site named “Google Solutions Marketplace” will organize 3rd party solutions built by using Google components. The aim of the site is to simplify match-making between the customers, products and professional services.
The Marketplace’s initial focus is to connect customers of communications and collaboration products like Google Apps and Enterprise search with 3rd parties that sell complementary products and services.
For users, the Marketplace has search, browse, and end-user ratings to make it easy to locate and purchase from a vendor that meets their needs. For developers and partners, the Marketplace makes it easy to create information-rich vendor and product listings to reach new customers and grow sales. And listing is self-service and free.
The service is similar to SalesForce.com’s App Exchange. Earlier this week Google unveiled Google App Engine with is a service similar to Amazon S3.
