Google Not Gaining Traction with the Federal Government
(MoneyWatch) Who new that Google sold products to the Federal government? Marketwatch reports that while the company had been able to see some sales there contract value has declined 75% over the last few years. In 2008 the company had barely $80,000 of work compared to over $400,000 in 2006. Google has been trying to sell Google Aps, their map and earth information as well as database products. They company has had some success overseas, but seems not to have gained any traction with the Feds. To be honest this was one company that I didn't really think of trying to get Government business since they do so well commercially.
