Adding an application from the Marketplace to your domain is simple - it only takes four clicks. Applications can then be easily managed from your domain's control panel and accessed by users through the same links as the Google Apps suite.
1) Click "Add it now"
2) Agree to the vendor's Terms of Service
3) Grant access to the data that the app is requesting (ome apps require data access, some don't...so only grant access to apps you trust)
4) Turn it on and start enjoying your increased productivity
Applications listed in the Google Apps Marketplace integrate with Google Apps using open protocols. These integrations improve the efficiency of your businesses by allowing users to share data and collaborate on projects as well as connect to users' daily workflows in apps like Gmail, Google Calendar and Google Contacts.
This integrated app experience is available in the Marketplace today for users of Google Apps Premier, Standard and Education Editions thanks to the efforts of folks like Intuit and Atlassian, and others who are committed to join, including NetSuite and Successfactors. We are honored to work with the more than 50 partners listed below:
The Google Apps Marketplace gives software vendors access to a rapidly growing Google Apps customer base of 25 million users from 2 million businesses and universities. By embracing open standards like OpenID and OAuth, and by giving software vendors freedom of choice for both billing arrangement and hosting platform, Google makes it easy to build apps for the Google Apps Marketplace.
For a lot more detail on what this means for developers and ISVs, check out our posts on the new Google Apps Developer Blog and the Google Code Blog.
We look forward to seeing the ways in which companies leverage the applications currently in the Google Apps Marketplace in addition to the apps to come in the future. In fact, we'll be exploring these topics further at Google I/O on May 19-20 in San Francisco. We hope you'll join us!

Hello

Would you have got more information please?
Thanks

same for us, any tips ?
same issue
I have same problem
Working with the Google team on that launch was a very nice experience: professional yet responsive and cool, and in any case really collaborative. Great job guys.
How does this fly with education apps customers? I was looking at Aviary today, but in going over their terms of use, it expressly states that users may not be eligible if they are under the age of 13. We use our apps accounts with students as young as 10. How will this play?
I think this is a welcome option for Google Apps users. However, I wish that Google was a little more connected to the credibility of the App providers. It is too risky IMHO to at least two reasons (1) The providers could go out-of-business and the functionality and data that your company has created and come to reply on is gone (2) The provider (whoever and where ever they are) must be trusted with in many cases a substantial amount of corporate data.
The fact that I have to read each app provider's 'terms of service' is a big disincentive. It may be unrealistic but it would be more attractive option if (1) Google hosted the application (2) hosted the corporate data being used by the app (3) the 'terms of service' was standardized
All of that said, if an app was useful, the provider well known and worthy of some trust, I would consider using.
Hi,
I would like to know how many businesses (or a percentage) use Google Apps Premier Edition. Also, I would like to know what are the top 5 Industries that use Premier Edition.
Lastly, the industry types on http://www.google.com/support/a/bin/request.py?contact_type=premier&hl=en are different from those on http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en/business/customers.html which are also different from the registration page when you signing up for an App acct. Any assistance on how Google measures the "industries" will be appreciated. Thank you.
Any thought of getting educational software companies to explore using this marketplace? Many districts are looking at creating their own cloud environments to add software specific to their institutions. What a tremendous advantage to schools (and cost savings) if they could add their specific software to the Google Cloud!
