Google targets new Android, cloud features for businesses

Google decides to pay their attention to the enterprise with announcements about Google Docs and its cloud service at the Google I/O which was held in June 25-26.
Google noted that, users get native editing for Office documents from their Android-based mobile devices or from Google Drive, the company's file storage and synchronization service.That means a user can open a Word document, for example, on an Android tablet and edit it without having to stop and convert it to a Google Doc.All files now uploaded to Google Drive will also be encrypted, not only between the user's device and Google and in transit between Google data centers, but also while the information is at rest on Google servers.
Google didn't leave the cloud out of its focus on the enterprise.The company also introduced the Google Cloud Dataflow, a managed data processing service.This cloud news is more important to the enterprise, and hence to Google's enterprise push, than its Google Docs changes.
