Google to run Yale University e-mail System
February 16, 2010
The Gmail-based service will gradually replace the University’s current e-mail client, Horde, the student said. The incoming class of 2014 will be the first to go directly to the new Google system, and current freshmen and sophomores will have to make the switch. Upperclassmen will have the option of keeping Horde, but the University plans to phase out Horde by spring of next year. Yale News is reporting
Matt Drudge is linking to the above post with the words “DOMINATE: Google to run Yale e-mail…”
Interesting to say the least, but its not as unexpected as you think. Email can and sometimes is a problem, Horde is a decent e-mail program for companies and large organisations, but e-mail is always a time consuming problematic process that can consuming valuable IT staff needs.
Let’s face it as well, Gmail is pretty easy to use.
If you were going to outsource it, Google isn’t a bad option by any stretch of the imagination.
