“The U.S. government is probably the largest enterprise I know of,” Google co-founder Sergey Brin said last year. And soon it will be one of Google’s largest customers as well, if the company has its way.

Discussing Google Docs and the company’s other productivity offerings with ZDNet Asia, Dave Girouard, president of Google’s enterprise division, volunteered that most businesses will have the opportunity to “get rid of [Microsoft] Office if they chose to” in a year.

Q: How much revenue flows through this (Apps)? A: Hundreds of millions of dollars…that’s as explicit as we’re going to get. Q: How is the company dealing with Microsoft and its entrenchment in this particular sector? A: Long meandering answer that ends with this: The company has a new App Reseller program that it debuted in April. It will give it more feet on the street and expand the ecosystem. That’s a start, I suppose.
