Thunderbird is an organization founded in 1946 and was the first graduate management school focused exclusively on global business, as the founders describe the firm. Thunderbird is a multinational company and it's present in USA, Europe, Russia and Asia with 38.000 graduates from all around the world.
Google is a company that tries to expand its solutions into all categories, creating multiple services meant to help you whatever your need might be. That's why the search giant tried to be a part of our lives, offering to us products
like University Search, to help us choose our university, Book Search, find books from all around the world, and many other products that can help students achieve best results.
So, what's the relation between these two companies? Well, it looks like for both of them, the educational system is the future. Google wants to develop the best solutions for students and Thunderbird is already providing them. It's obvious that an agreement between Google and Thunderbird will result in well-developed and powerful solutions. That's why the two companies made a partnership meant to improve the communications between all educational aspects using Google Apps for Education.
"Thunderbird is converting to Google to give users more storage space, greater spam filtering as well as the ability to use Gmail in any of 40 languages, according to Johan Reinalda, Thunderbird's director of network engineering and support. Other improvements include indexed e-mail search, calendaring, tagging capabilities for tracking e-mails and instant messaging. Gmail, which ranked No. 2 on PC World's Top 100 products of 2005, offers 2.0 gigabytes of storage space and allows students who primarily speak a language other than English the ability to customize the interface - all the headings, menus and help features - into almost any language," it is mentioned in a press release posted on the Thunderbird official webpage.
