Google OneBox Hooks up With Enterprise Apps

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the google-urban-sprawl dept.

TopShelf writes "Google's OneBox for Enterprise has now been integrated to multiple top-notch business applications, including Oracle, SAS, Cognos, and Salesforce.com, according to this morning's press release on Yahoo! News. PHB's everywhere will soon be able to Google their way to the information they need - what will that mean for corporate report developers and business intelligence staff?"

  1. How long til MS blocks this? by TheLinuxSRC · · Score: 3, Interesting

    "With Google OneBox for Enterprise, corporate information -- such as contact and calendar info, HR benefits, sales leads, or purchase order status -- is now instantly searchable through a Google search box as part of the Google Search Appliance."

    I assume that in order to access this sort of information, Google is searching through the stores on an Exchange server. I have not heard of any deals w/MS regarding the connector used to connect to Exchange thus I assume it is something Google has either written or had written for them. My question is, how long is it until MS "updates" Exchange under the guise of security or what have you in order to "F'n kill Google" (and their appliance)?

    Just a thought.

    Maybe they aren't using it because it didn't "plug into" their "enterprise" business apps. Now it does. I'd say that's a major selling point.
