City of LA Has Gone Google Apps

The Los Angeles City Council voted 12-0 Tuesday to approve an agreement with Google to deploy Google Apps including the Gmail solution for 30,000 City employees.

Councilman Tony Cardenas, who made the motion in Council to go Google, told the Los Angeles Times "The City of Los Angeles, the second largest city in the nation, made a world-class decision today to support a state-of-the art e-mail system."

Los Angeles will be the first major city and the largest in the US to move to Google's platform.
