Goverment Apps Look To Take Off On Cloud - 28 Jul 10

This week's rollout of Google Apps for Government is a major milestone in the search giant's efforts to win more customers for its cloud apps and to answer the security concerns of potential enterprise customers. Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) said it has become first cloud computing application suite provider to receive Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) certification and accreditation from the U.S. government, essentially giving government agencies and departments a clear path to adopt the Google suite. Google had to document hundreds of security and other controls to win FISMA certification.
