谷歌微軟一決雌雄

????越來越多的企業為了削減成本正尋求依托于云計算的解決方案。因此，企業甚至開始外包我們處理工作任務時采用的基本效能工具，諸如電子郵件、文字處理和演示工具，這一點顯然也符合邏輯。谷歌（Google）應用軟件和微軟Office 365之類的產品組件由此應運而生。這兩種產品都具有網絡信息傳送和合作方面的獨特優勢，同時免去了附加硬件、軟件安裝方面的困擾，此外，企業不需要專門配備內部的IT員工，而且價格只是傳統方式的一個零頭。(實際上，谷歌表示這種解決方案的成本要比傳統解決方案低三分之一。) 谷歌針對企業用戶的應用軟件于2007年問市，而微軟公司（Microsoft）在當年進入市場的時間更早。企業用戶目前正糾結哪個解決方案更有利，可以預見這兩家巨頭之間將會展開正面交鋒。

Google Apps and Office 365 will duke it out

????With businesses increasingly looking to cloud-based solutions to cut costs, it only seems logical that even our basic productivity tools for tasks like email, word processing and presentations get outsourced. That's where product suites like Google Apps and Microsoft's Office 365 come in. Both offer the distinct advantage of web-based messaging and collaboration without the hassle of additional hardware, software installation, or the need for in-house IT staff, for a fraction of the price. (In fact, Google says theirs costs a third less than traditional solutions.) Though Google Apps for businesses has been around since 2007, Microsoft just got into the game earlier this year. Expect these two titans to clash as companies wrestle over which solution is better for them.
