As posted by Christan Fauré on his blog , the first Press Release presenting a shift from a large corporation to Google Apps could occur in the coming weeks. If Google Apps is not yet ready for a any large corporation (because of MS Word legacy, poor Google Spreadsheet features…), this PR will demonstrate that Google Apps is not dedicated to Small and Medium Business. I do not know what company Christian is thinking about, and since Christian is not working in the same company as I am, I bet we do not think about the same companies.
