A major shift in the way companies obtain software and computing
capacity is under way as more companies tap into Web-based applications

At first, just a handful of employees at Sanmina-SCI (SANM) began using Google Apps (GOOG)
for tasks like e-mail, document creation, and appointment scheduling.
Now, just six months later, almost 1,000 employees of the electronics
manufacturing company go online to use Google Apps in place of the
comparable Microsoft (MSFT) tools. "We have project teams working on a global basis and to help them collaborate effectively, we use Google Apps," says Manesh Patel,
chief information officer of Sanmina-SCI, a company with $10.7 billion
in annual revenue. In the next three years, the number of Google Apps
users may rise to 10,000, or about 25% of the total, Patel estimates.
