What is Google?
Launched in 1999
Competitor for struggling Internet search
engines such as AltaVista and Yahoo
Vast proportion of Google’s revenue
(97%) is derived from advertising
Google has introduced numerous
products targeted at enterprise use since
2001
Enterprise products have the effect of
unbalancing Google’s competition
Google Product Development
Google products are always targeted at
consumers first and organizations second
Google products are:
Capable of massive scale
Easy to configure and implement
Elegantly simple in usability and features
Friendly to third-party developers
Freestanding and not dependent on (or exploitative
of) linkages to other applications, even those that
appear obviously related
What is Google Chrome?
Launched in September 2008
New, open source browser intended to
create a better web experience for
users around the world
Available in more than 40 languages
A new approach to the browser based
on the simplicity and power that users
have come to expect from Google
products
WHY CHROME?
WHY NOW?
