Los Angeles Will soon use Google Web services

October 28th, 2009 admin No comments

City Council of Los Angeles approved a multimillion-dollar contract proposal to use Google Web services for government e-mail and other Internet services. Many city computer systems will be replaced with the so-called Google-apps. Under this deal Google will provide e-mail, calendar, online chatting and other services to more then 30000 city employees. The main problem with this contract was that Google places documents online rather then on individual computers under the city direct control, so the agreement was only reached when Google agreed to pay a preset penalty in case if a security breach occurs.
