Google (GOOG) Inaugurates Apps Marketplace

On Tuesday, Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) launched the Google Apps Marketplace, a platform which will help businesses to buy, and manage online applications.

Google Apps, which went public in 2007, is essentially a professional office software suite: services such as Gmail, Calendar, and Google Docs are synced company wide, usually under a custom domain name. Google Apps just won’t help businesses to increase storage, and collaboration but it takes the service one step further.

Now businesses that subscribe to Google Apps can choose from a range of 50 applications, including Intuit Online Payroll, and TripIt, an organizational tool for business travel. Some applications available on the marketplace are free while others go for $30 per month.
