Boston Replacing Microsoft Exchange With Google Apps

Posted by Soulskill on Friday May 10, 2013 @08:32AM from the heard-new-york-liked-microsoft-too dept.

netbuzz writes "The city of Boston, which employs 20,000 people, has become the latest large organization to switch from Microsoft Exchange to Google Apps. The city estimates that the move will save it $280,000 a year. Microsoft's reaction? 'We believe the citizens of Boston deserve cloud productivity tools that protect their security and privacy. Google's investments in these areas are inadequate, and they lack the proper protections most organizations require.' More and more customers aren't buying that FUD." Hopefully they'll be more satisfied than Los Angeles was (PDF).

An equally interesting link would be: http://techrights.org/2009/05/04/consumer-watchdog-exposed/
Where they show that Consumer Watchdog is actually a PR/lobbying firm hired by MS.
