Altogether there were more than a dozen technical sessions focused on the enterprise and more than 20 Google Apps Marketplace vendors demoing in the Enterprise Developer Sandbox.
Here’s a recap of a few of the sessions below. You can find the videos and slides for these sessions on the linked session title:
Run corporate applications on Google App Engine? Yes we do. Google CIO Ben Fried and his team discussed how Google runs real-world business applications on App Engine, and gave practical advice on how enterprise IT developers can make App Engine work with firewalls, legacy systems and proprietary systems. We unveiled this video yesterday along with the rest of the App Engine videos, but are reiterating it here as this session is quite relevant to the enterprise.
Making Freemium work - converting free users to paying customers - In this panel moderated by Google’s Don Dodge, venture capitalists Brad Feld, Dave McClure, Jeff Clavier, Matt Holleran and Joe Kraus discussed strategies for building free products that can be upgraded to paid versions.
