"CIOs Ignore Collaboration Tools Too Much, CEB Says"

It says here that "...contracts between Google and its customers guarantee user privacy." Do we have a copy of the contract or the end user agreement? There will be more people concerned about that and I would like to see what it says.

terms and conditions: http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en/terms/user_terms.html and privacy policy: http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en/terms/user_privacy.html the first time you register, you have also validated global terms and conditions for Google Apps usage

Kimind is business partner of Backupify, and we are very please of this announcement. Backupify is a very important add-on solution for Google Apps, providing and extra layer of security to be sure you will never loose any data, even if one of your users is deleting it on purpose or accidentally. Backupify will allow you to retrieve any information from gmail, calendar, contacst, docs and sites, at any time. And having Symantec on board is a very impressive signal for the reliability of the company in long term.

Good news about this is that pure players of the internet are improving their security dramatically. This is very good, and a necessary step for everybody. It's why also Google is so much secure than the others, they have taken already all this actions few years ago, because fully of the security problems.

All datas in Google exportable, data liberation project team is aware of this, providing APIs to all the services of Google to extract at any time any data stored in Google services. It is not the case of other mayor players like FaceBook from which any data entered couldn't be exported, the most important being the social graph. Users should not accept this.

This could be a good approach to migrating Exchange users.

A very good demonstration that SharePoint Portal Server is not an Enterprise 2.0 solution, and that you must avoir using it if you want your users build new real social practices for productivity, reactivity, innovation and competitiveness.

Google Docs may soon enable live, simultaneous editing of Microsoft Office documents thanks to the recent acquisition of DocVerse. The teams have a shared vision of enabling easy collaboration for Office users, and may end up signing up a few new businesses to Google Apps in the process.

That could become interesting.
