At Google Atmosphere in Paris, Google’s annual European event, Google announced that more than more than 3 million businesses have “Gone Google”. Within the businesses, schools more than 30 million users have “Gone Google”.
Just six months ago, in March, Google announced that 25 million users have Gone Google. Google claims that ”Each day, thousands of companies are going Google”. Going Google basically means switching to Google Apps – a web/cloud based suite of office, messaging and collaboration applications.
Celebrating the success of cloud computing, Google also launched two-step verification to help enhance security in the cloud. Google said Google Apps Premier, Education and Government Edition users
can sign in with the combination of their password (something they know) and a one-time verification code provided by a mobile phone (something they have).
These security measures will protect users from phishing scams and password reuse. Google said
For the first time, we’re making this technology accessible to organizations large and small without the costs and complexities that have historically limited two-step verification to large enterprises with deep pockets.
Google also said Google Apps Standard Edition and individual Google users will also get these security features soon.
Google Docs Editing Will Come to iPad and Android
Google also demonstrated Google Docs editing features on Apple iPad and Android platform. It said Google will unveil the mobile editing features of Google Docs to users around the world soon.
