Gianluigi Cogo, Director Information Systems, Regione Veneto
“We started a pilot project using Google Apps . The project is aimed to evaluate its effectiveness in comparison with the other messaging platforms currently used by Regione Veneto. The test is particularly focused on the implementation of a highly customized messaging service for agencies, municipalities and government bodies that we serve with our eGov innovative ICT projects. Regione Veneto is a big and complex organization that could significantly benefit from features like the huge capacity made available by Gmail without the need for large investments in added storage, application servers, front-office extension and back-office maintenance.”
