There's a huge shift coming, though, as to where data is stored. Google goes with the premise of a full public cloud model, while many companies are looking more to the hybrid model (private and public mixed).

We aren't planning on making a switch from office to google docs due to the sensitivity of our documents, as I'm sure everyone else has as well. We like having our documents and such located on our network and don't have to worry about Google servers going down or our data leaking out. _____________________________ Cameron Cooper Network Administrator | CompTIA A+ Certified Aurico Reports, Inc Phone: 847-890-4021 | Fax: 847-255-1896 [email protected] | www.aurico.com From: Richard Stovall [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, August 05, 2010 2:40 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Anyone move from MS Office to Google Docs?

Last place I worked looked at it but the legal eagles on the main campus put a fast and painful stop to local management even going beyond the asking phase. What I was told was this was fine for use by students but faculity and staff that had access to or was creating patentable/copywritable/sellable documents or work or worked with any confidential information of any form would be sued by the University if they exposed any of the confidential information to Google or any other outside body which may or could result in loss of marketablity of the work. This was a couple of years ago when Google got caught doing something that cost someone/group money because of a loss of confidentiality of information. I doubt Google has changed their practice just made it more difficult to trace it back to them.
