Google out, Zoho in — to the tune of 400,000 desktops at GE

September 23, 2008

Who doesn’t love a David and Goliath story?  Looks like General Electric has chosen India-based Zoho over Google to supply its cloud-based desktop suite on 400,000 desktops.  Zoho is a 600 person company that has never taken venture funding and currently generates $40 million a year.

According to Daya Baran’s blog “A GE spokesperson who did not want to be identified said their decision was based around issues of personal and corporate privacy, functionality, support, features and Zoho won hands down.”

Hmmm, GE might be a great candidate for Blueprint 🙂

Zoho landing page.  Look familiar?

Pau for now…
