Expert Source for Analysis of Google Apps Premier Edition

Market Wire, February, 2007

Google's introduction of Google Apps Premier Edition is an important milestone in the business use of browser-based applications.

If you are writing about Google Apps Premier Edition, Tom Snyder is an excellent source for an industry perspective. He's a former Microsoft developer whose company has been involved in the browser-based applications category since 2003. Tom is also a co-founder of OpenSAM (Open Simple Ajax Mashups, www.opensam.org ), a set of recommendations and techniques for integrating SaaS (Software as a Service) applications into powerful and flexible solutions. Tom is currently working with other SaaS application vendors to create an open, integrated suite of enterprise office applications.

Tom Snyder is founder and president of iNetOffice ( www.inetoffice.com ), a provider of browser-based office applications such as iNetWord, which is the first and only fully functional online word processor. iNetWord is an Ajax (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) and SaaS application that supports the interactivity and speed goals of Web 2.0. Its features include the ability to create custom styles, rich table formats, spell checking, one-click Web publishing and graphics support just like common office applications. You can try iNetWord here: http://www.inetoffice.com/ , and you can compare its features to Microsoft Word here: http://inetword.com/hp/compare.html . You can read Tom's blog here: http://blog.inetoffice.com/ .

Tom's 10 years as a developer at Microsoft -- where he worked on products such as Internet Explorer 4.0 (the first DHTML browser), C 6.0, Windows Help system, and Microsoft Publisher '95 and '97 -- gave him an in-depth understanding of programming systems that has enabled him to build one of the most responsive and satisfying Ajax (browser-based) applications.

Please let me know if you are interested in interviewing Tom for any articles you are writing about Google Apps Premier Edition, about browser-based office applications in general, or about Ajax, the hot enabling technology for browser-based applications.
