Google to provide apps for GM

The Wall Street Journal reports.

The contract, however, requires Google to meet certain requirements before GM makes a final decision to deploy the software, these people added.

A GM spokeswoman declined to comment on the Google contract, but said the company has "not made a decision to deploy Google Apps. We're always looking for leading-edge technologies, and our [information technology] department is open to various developers."

This could be the largest deal since the company launched on Google Apps in competition with Microsoft's dominant business application, FNN Online says.
