Google gobbles up GrandCentral
According to the Google Blog, GrandCentral is an innovative service that lets users integrate all of their existing phone numbers and voice mailboxes into one account, which can then be accessed from the web.
“We think GrandCentral's technology fits well into Google's efforts to provide services that enhance the collaborative exchange of information between our users,” Google said.
“We're really excited to welcome the GrandCentral team to Google. While we're moving their technology over to Google's network, a limited number of invitations will be available to register for a GrandCentral beta account.”
“GrandCentral is joining Google. We're excited about this. Being part of Google will helps us make our vision of improved voice communications one step closer to reality and bring innovative communications services to millions of users around the world,” said GrandCentral Founders Craig Walker & Vincent Paquet.
According to GrandCentral, Google acquired the company because its communications services fit into Google's mission to organize the world's information and to provide services and features that enhance the collaborative exchange of information between users.
The terms of the acquisition are confidential and the deal is officially closed according to the Q&A with the founders on the GrandCentral website.
