The Google Goes to College
December 30, 2009
Short honk: If you want to see what is ahead for college students, read “Google Apps and College Kids: True Love?” I am surprised when I point out in my lectures that some people are unaware of Google’s march on the education market. If you are lost in a cloud of unknowing, this write up in MSPmentor (published on December 22, 2009) provides some backfill on this topic. For me, the most important point in the write up was:
First, there’s a chance Google will make additional vertical market pushes in 2010 and beyond. Google insiders have downplayed the vertical market chatter to me. But I’m watching and listening for more clues. Second, tomorrow’s workforce–today’s college students- will demand Google Apps and/or similar SaaS applications when they show up at your door for work. Third, those Google-savvy college grads will also work for your customers. In my mind there’s no doubt a Google Enterprise push is coming in 2010.
Despite the funky formatting there are some useful links.

Oyez, oyez, to the Department of Education. A freebie. Do you hear that? A freebie.
