Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

With more than 25 million people using the Google Apps Marketplace, it’s no wonder developers have focused on this marketplace to create innovative applications. The Google Apps Marketplace provides users with a centralized storefront with a wide-variety of applications that help businesses move their desktop based applications and workflow onto the ubiquitous cloud.

With hundreds of applications in a plethora of different categories, sifting through the Google Apps Marketplace can feel like a chore. The biggest problem is that many applications try to accomplish the same set of tasks so finding quality products is vital. To help in your quest for ultimate productivity, we’ve created a list of our five favorite applications, besides Manymoon, in the Google Apps Marketplace.

• Aviary
  Every business has some design elements that are necessary in their everyday workflow. From banners and logos, to designing sleek presentations and letterheads, Aviary brings their powerful web suite to the Google Apps Marketplace. Having the ability to collaborate on design projects makes getting feedback easy and helps implementation occur faster. Aviary even has an audio creation and editing suite so your office can finally have that weekly IT nerd podcast you always wanted.
• Expensify
  Tracking all the minutia of business expenses can be a harrowing task, but using Expensify allows your business to connect its bank statements and credit cards into a single tracking system. Your business will get eReceipts for all expenses in an easy-to-read PDF. You can even create automatic expenditure approval flows for recurring expenses. A real time saver.
• OffiSync
  While GoogleDocs is a powerful online word processor, most businesses rely upon and are centered around Microsoft Word. OffiSync gives your business the online capabilities of GoogleDocs with the familiarity of Microsoft Word by easily allowing users to save any document to the OffiSync cloud.
• SlideRocket
  SlideRocket is one of the sleekest, prettiest and most robust of the slideshow presentation apps. While Google’s native presentation app is intuitive, SlideRocket gives users many more options to edit, animate and organize slideshows, akin to Microsoft’s PowerPoint.
• TripIt
  Every business has the necessary evil of travel but the headaches start when people need to coordinate on different sides of the world about when people are arriving and departing. TripIt allows employees to easily share trip information, like locations and hotels, with everyone who is involved. There is even a beautiful map that tracks where all the employees are so no one will be left at the airport overnight again.

The Google Apps Marketplace is a great way to enhance your business’s productivity. All of the aforementioned apps are either completely free or have a robust trial period. Try them all out and see what works for you and your business!
