And here’s video of federal CIO Vivek Kundra making the Apps.gov announcement, which aired on today’s In Depth with Francis Rose.

On today’s Daily Debrief, Chris Dorobek and Amy Morris talked with two of the biggest players on Apps.gov — Google and SalesForce.com.

Matt Glotzbach is Google’s Product Management Director — and Dan Burton is Senior Vice President for Global Public Policy at SalesForce.com.

They talked about helping the federal government move to the cloud — and you can read the full story here.
