With two of the leading on demand CRM firms getting into a Google related war of words and the search engine firm gearing up to take on Microsoft, is Google about to become the new force to be reckoned with in the enterprise applications space?
Last week Salesforce.com and NetSuite both announced new moves built around Google technology - Salesforce.com announced the purchase of AdWord revenue-tracking app Kieden while NetSuite announced the roll out of its own Keyword Marketing Module.
