Google gets a lot of kudos for its free collaboration Google Apps, but some larger businesses have been reluctant to endorse the suite of e-mail, word processing and spreadsheet software due to concerns that it isn’t secure enough for the enterprise.

SAAS (software as a service) collaboration startup Central Desktop, which offers small and midsize businesses and workgroups group calendars, wikis, intranets and task management tools, also has plans to make collaboration software a safer place to work and play.
