Washington D.C. has joined 500,000+ businesses and organizations in moving its communication and productivity tools into the cloud. Vivek Kundra, CTO for the District, signed an agreement with Google to migrate the organization’s 38,000 employees to Google Apps, the search giant’s web-based offering of communication and productivity tools. Washington D.C. is a not-insignificant win for Google, and yet another blow to Microsoft’s incumbent Office suite, as a surge of web apps steadily replaces their desktop counterparts.
