Google Cries over Spilled Milk
August 30, 2010
Google has accused the government of favoring Microsoft. This is a recent news revelation on WebProNews.com’s “Google Cries Foul Over California Email Contract” citing Google’s inability to win the $60 million contract, which has gone to CompuCom Systems, an IT outsourcing company with ties to Microsoft.
Even though Google is based in California, the City of Los Angeles and the Government are adopting Google Apps, but Google failed to clinch the opportunity to get a foothold in the government IT space. The Internet giant openly accuses California Governor’s office of rigging the bidding system, however the article quotes the LA Times reporter duo as saying, “Google spent months trying to complete in the contract bidding process but never formally joined the race because state officials drew up a lengthy list of requirements the company said were impossible for it to meet.”
One can only say that it is imperative to get the details correct, and not be careless.
