SAN FRANCISCO – Google Inc. is sprucing up its corporate e-mail service by adding new security tools and more than doubling the storage capacity.
The changes, to be unveiled today, mark Google’s first attempt to capitalize on the technology that it picked up in its recently completed $625 million acquisition of e-mail security specialist Postini Inc.
Google also is courting Postini’s existing customers as it tries to drum up more interest in a suite of online software applications that costs each user $50 annually. The roughly 36,000 businesses already using Postini products can get the software bundle, which includes word processing, spreadsheet and other programs besides e-mail, free through June 2008.
Storage capacity Google’s corporate e-mail will be boosted to 25 gigabytes, up from 10. Individual accounts with the company’s free service, known as “Gmail,” will remain just under three gigabytes.
