Big news out of the General Services Administration today: It has become the first federal agency to move to a cloud-based e-mail system for all employees. The system will be on the Google Apps for Government platform. Agency officials say it will save $15 million over five years.
The move came in the form of a $6.7 million, five-year task order to Unisys Corp. under the Alliant Governmentwide Acquisition Contract. Unisys is partnering with Google, Tempus Nova, and Acumen Solutions.
We'll have more details on this soon.
