The Los Angeles City Council on Tuesday voted unanimously to approve a $7.2 million deal with IT contractor Computer Sciences Corp. to replace the city’s existing Novell GroupWise e-mail system with Google Apps, Google’s suite of online communication and productivity programs. Microsoft Office licenses will be reduced but not eliminated, as select city workers will continue to use Microsoft’s software.

The hotly contested deal calls for shifting about 30,000 city workers over to Google Apps in the next year.
