Office for Mac 2011 does not offer APIs to allow direct sync with Google. CompanionLink's cloud technology connects Google Contacts/Calendar with an Office 365 account. You can then set up your Outlook for Mac client with your Office 365 account. This setup keeps Google Contacts/Calendar synchronized with Outlook for Mac.
