Serena Software expects to save $750,000 per year by shedding
Microsoft Exchange Server in favor of Google's Gmail application for its 800 employees, officials of
the Web development software maker told eWEEK Nov. 12.
The move, slated to be completed by the end of 2008, is a coup for Google. The
search engine provider has been struggling to entice customers to switch from the
Microsoft Outlook e-mail client and Exchange Server on-premises application to
its SAAS (software as a service) Web mail, word processing, spreadsheet and
other applications.
