Google’s Service Offerings
Google has gained prominence by offering services for free. They are now making use of the same infrastructure to offer business class services. For $50 per year you can get a 10Gb email account. That will hold a whole lot of email.
Along with their online wordprocessor and spreadsheet, this could be a pretty compelling option for small businesses. If your staff never uses 75% of the features in Microsoft Word, the online Google versions are going to be pretty attractive.

Yes.. instead of using Microsoft Office for 500-600 USD.. 50$ supposed to be more attractive.

The $500 is just the cost for the software. For a small business the idea of being able to type in a credit card and immediately be up and running with full support for remote workers is a pretty big deal.
