In a move to attract business customers, Gmail has decided to shed its ‘beta’ label. Apart from Gmail, the beta tag will be removed from Google Docs, Google Calendar and Google Talk. This tag was used to indicate that the organization is still building on its software.
Speaking on this, Glotzbach, director of product management for Google Enterprise stated, “I’ve had CIOs (Chief Information Officers) tell me that the beta label is a real problem for them because as a policy they don’t deploy beta software to their enterprise.”
With a slump in the first quarter sheets, Google has decided on this option.
Meanwhile, other Google products like Chrome Web browser and Google Scholar have already shun the Beta label.
