Google Apps attacked by Microsoft

Global software developer Microsoft has begun an assault on Google's enterprise application technology Google Apps.

Tech radar reported the firm has commissioned a number of studies which all show how consumers have been pleased they chose Microsoft Exchange service instead of its Google counterpart.

Phaeton's Jonathan Pisarczyk told the publication: "Google Apps was inadequate in meeting business needs. It didn't allow single sign-on service, user migration and couldn't help us centrally manage multiple domains."

The company took on Microsoft Exchange after it was decided that its in-house messaging platform would be best suited to meet its needs.

Elsewhere, the Microsoft Exchange Team Blog recently stated that the new mobile phone from Microsoft - the Microsoft KIN - offers users full access to Microsoft Exchange.

It offers a full QWERTY touch-screen keyboard for users and is aimed at the professional market, the team noted.
