More about Google released on Tuesday a plug-in to its Google Apps arsenal that could be the last push needed to nudge some businesses into fully adopting its cloud computing services.

The product, Google Apps Sync for Microsoft Outlook, works with the Premier version of Google apps, which costs US$50 per business user per year, as well as the free educational version, which is limited to 50 user accounts. The software plug-in will allow enterprise users to adopt Google's email services without without forcing a migration to the Gmail user interface, according to Google.

"Barriers to adopting cloud computing have been falling away over the last few years," Andrew Kovacs, spokesperson for Google, told TechNewsWorld. "Now, broadband connections are ubiquitous, and the recent release of Gmail Offline removed another barrier to migrating. There is no reason now for businesses not to switch."
