management platforms.
The free integrated
online software from Google will allow Salesforce CRM users to
easily transfer data between the different applications to aid the
wider sharing of sales and marketing information.
Google's Gmail system, along with a word processor, spreadsheet
and other office productivity programs, will be available to users
