Actually most of the city is using Google Apps and the contract has been renewed. The LAPD decided it wanted additional security and hasn't migrated yet.
- kenjackson 15y agoTo be clear it's more than just the LAPD. From http://informationweek.com/news/government/cloud-saas/232300646 http://informationweek.com/news/government/cloud-saas/232300... The amendment will remove the LAPD, portions of the city attorney's office, the Los Angeles Fire Department, Department of General Services, and Department of Transportation from the contract Only a little more than half of the expected number of users have been migrated. Still a nice win for Google, but also a cautionary tale.
- sunchild 15y agoSo what are the excluded departments using? Hosted Exchange? I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that whatever solution they're using isn't any more secure. Even if you host your own mail servers inside Fort Knox, and hire and vet everyone who goes near those servers, you still have all the same trustworthiness problems. On the other hand, I'm probably missing something there, since Google somehow failed to convince them to stay on board.
