US Government Approves Google Apps 3 comments
Google Apps
Google has finally won approval from the US Federal Government to sell web applications to more government agencies. This means e-mail and other web-based office programs from Google have now been given security clearance.
The granting of the clearance was made public on Monday. It means that Google Inc.'s online applications such as word processing and spreadsheets have complied with the federal government's security standards for data storage. This is the first time the U.S. government has allowed software programs to be delivered over the Internet, also known as cloud computing.
Google hopes to build on the endorsement by offering its package of online programs to more government agencies. This will most probably intensify Google's rivalry with Microsoft Corporation, whose Office programs are used extensively by most government agencies and businesses.
Google has already designed versions of its applications specifically for use by government agencies in an effort to boost sales to the US government.
