Google will kick off an international campaign to broaden the adoption of its Apps software suite. Through Google Apps, users have access to e-mail, calendars, and productivity software among others. Google is taking these steps in an attempt to compete with Microsoft and IBM in the business world. All of the offerings from Google take advantage of cloud computing, and will allow businesses to cut down on server and energy costs. Google charges large companies $50 per year per user, but allows companies with less than 50 employees to use the service for free. The number of businesses that use the service is up to 2 million, with around 20 million users overall. The ad campaign is set to run for the remainder of the year.
