I believe that the effort to "Go Google" was also influenced by Michigan's IT centralization effort... I say this because I just started working in UM-ITS, and centralization of campus IT has been a major focus here. And to answer a question from earlier in the thread, not all units have really jumped onto all of the efforts yet. Eventually they likely will, but the Health System and MCIT are going to do things when *they* are good and ready.
