“I don’t see Google that often in most of the discussions we have with customers, whereas it’s pretty much Amazon and us in every single engagement competing,” Guthrie said.
“Amazon Business has now reached a billion annual sales run rate and is serving millions of private and public-sector organizations in eight countries,” said Jeff Bezos, Amazon founder and CEO. “And we’re not slowing down – Amazon Business is adding customers rapidly, including large educational institutions, local governments, and more than half of the Fortune 100.
