LA's Google Apps Rollout Hits the Skids

The city's transition from Los Angeles to Google Apps for its 30,000 employees are apparently not going smoothly, according to letters obtained by the group Consumer Watchdog. It seems that Google and CSC contractor has failed to comply with the LAPD security, and now the city is asking for some of his money back.


Google (Nasdaq: GOOG) Apps seem to have bruised his toe in delivering services to the 30,000 employees in the city of Los Angeles.

Google and Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC), which was hired to implement Google Apps in the IT infrastructure of the city in 2009, apparently for safety as promised, and the town is out for blood.

City's Chief Technology Officer Randi Levin addressed this issue in a letter to Michael B. Schneider, senior manager for CSC for contracts and subcontracts in August.

A copy of this letter was published on the Internet by the group Consumer Watchdog consumer privacy.

Consumer Watchdog wrote Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa to ask to what extent Google has not fulfilled its contractual obligations in the project known.

"I do not know how Consumer Watchdog letter was, and I called them," Laurel Lightner, assistant city attorney for the city of Los Angeles, told the tech news world.

She declined to comment further on the matter because the letter "is not intended as a public document."
