Google launches Apps for Government |
|
|
Google has introduced a new edition of Google Apps that has been designed with inputs from “customers” like the federal government, the City of Los Angeles and the City of Orlando.  Google Apps for Government, Google said in a post on its official blog, includes the same applications commonly used by the general public but with specific measures to address the policy and security needs of the public sector. The company said Apps was the first cloud computing messaging and collaboration suite to have received the FISMA certification (Federal Information Security Management Act) and earned accreditation from the US General Services Administration. The FISMA law applies to all information systems in use by US federal government agencies to help ensure they’re secure. Google Apps for Government stores Gmail and Calendar data in a segregated system located in the continental United States, with other applications scheduled to follow suit in future. Google said that Apps for Government would evolve to meet unique government requirements as well, As a “community cloud”, as defined by the National Institute for Science and Technology, Google Apps for Government is available to any federal, state or local government in the United States. |
