Not going to mince words here. Google is taking over just about every facet of your personal and professional life. Their ecosystem is a highly advanced slippery slope where you use one of their products and quickly find yourself ensnared. You use their search, then check your Gmail, then whip up a quick document on Google Drive, and pretty soon you find yourself integrating their technology into your office. That’s because they offer FREE enterprise solutions. It’s intense. However, it’s become quite clear that Google is good at more than just making major apps for large numbers of people. They actually crank out niche software that’s little-known and not used as often as, say, Google Drive.
