We’re always looking for ways to better serve our customers and grow our customer base. As an IT officer, I introduce, evolve and maintain the technology that helps our 100 employees acquire more customers. Security, durability and affordability are top of mind when I’m researching a new solution.<br /> <br /> In 2010, we looked to modernize our IT solutions. Our employees wanted greater flexibility to pursue customer leads outside of the office. At the time, our employees were using laptops and smartphones that didn’t have the security, functionality or mobile management we needed. I started researching other solutions and discovered <a href="https://apps.google.com/" target="_blank">Google Apps for Work</a>, <a href="https://apps.google.com/products/admin/mobile/" target="_blank">Google Mobile Device Management</a> (Google MDM) and Android devices. I believed these solutions would help us achieve our goal of giving our team greater mobility with tools that not only advanced productivity but that also offered the security, central management and cost efficiency we required — I was right.<br /> <br /> Today we use Google MDM to manage 40 Samsung Galaxy smartphones and Samsung Note tablets. These Android devices help us save time and money. One example: We used to print and ship 300-page binders for board meetings, which was wasteful and inefficient, but now, board members use Android tablets during meetings to view and share annual reports and quarterly earnings presentations. <br /> <br /> Our employees are already benefitting from greater mobility at work. Lenders now commonly travel to construction sites to meet with customers, receive progress updates and pursue more loan opportunities. Loan officers who work away from the office can receive reminders about upcoming client meetings on their Android smartphone, locate and reach their destination using Google Maps and retrieve relevant customer documents from the cloud with <a href="https://apps.google.com/products/drive/" target="_blank">Google Drive</a>. <br /> <br /> The security of Google Apps was essential to our purchasing decision. Since commercial institutions can be targeted by cybercriminals, protecting our customer data is especially important. Our centrally-managed Android devices help us save time and money without compromising security, and IT administrators benefit from capabilities like mobile device management. Remote administration also helps us save time and money from a pure logistics standpoint — we don’t have to be on site to solve individual problems that arise. <br /> <br /> Before we adopted Google Apps for Work and Google MDM, our employees were clamoring for tools that allowed them to work from anywhere and better serve our customers. The integration of Google Apps and Google MDM, supported by Android devices, has vastly improved what our employees can accomplish each day. These tools have helped keep Elsa State Bank competitive amid a rapidly evolving work environment. <br /> <br /></div> </script> <noscript> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Jaime Hinojosa, Information Technology Officer, Elsa State Bank<br /> </span> <br /> <br /> <i><b>Editor's note:</b> Today we hear from Jaime Hinojosa, Information Technology Officer at Elsa State Bank, which has served Texans since 1945.

Companies that have for decades relied heavily on printed contracts, drawings and documents are now moving to online tools to save time and money and keep productivity up in a marketplace that’s more expansive and more demanding.

My top goal was to use technology to better consumer experiences and in turn grow our revenues. Compass Group relied on <a href="https://apps.google.com/" target="_blank">Google Apps</a> already, so when we needed to revamp our digital signage, we turned to Google. Over the past two years, our technology field services teams, led by Jugveer Randhawa, installed more than 200 <a href="https://www.google.com/work/chrome/digital-signage/" target="_blank">Chrome digital signage devices</a> in our retail locations.

Store managers had to upload new images every time we wanted to promote a new menu item, daily special or social media contest. By modernizing our approach using Chrome digital signage, we’re saving hundreds of hours each week on this formerly time-intensive process.

Millions of people visit our <a href="http://www.compass-canada.com/Pages/Content.aspx?ItemID=67" target="_blank">retail locations</a> every year, and with Chrome we can reach them all with the latest content.<br /> <br /></div> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/08/how-Compass-Group-Canada-modernized-its-digital-strategy-with-Chrome.html'> <img alt='Share on Google+' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/branding/google_plus/2x/ic_w_post_gplus_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='twitter-custom social-wrapper' data-href='http://twitter.com/share?text=Official Google Cloud Blog:How Compass Group Canada modernized its digital strategy with Chrome &url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/08/how-Compass-Group-Canada-modernized-its-digital-strategy-with-Chrome.html&via=gsuite'> <img alt='Share on Twitter' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_twitter_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='fb-custom social-wrapper' data-href='https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/08/how-Compass-Group-Canada-modernized-its-digital-strategy-with-Chrome.html'> <img alt='Share on Facebook' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_facebook_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> </div> <div class='comment-container'> <i class='comment-img material-icons'>  </i> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='17' data-onclick='' data-post-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/08/how-Compass-Group-Canada-modernized-its-digital-strategy-with-Chrome.html' data-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/08/how-Compass-Group-Canada-modernized-its-digital-strategy-with-Chrome.html' style='color: #4184F3;'></span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/08/how-Compass-Group-Canada-modernized-its-digital-strategy-with-Chrome.html' data-viewtype='FILTERED_POSTMOD'></div> <a href='https://plus.google.com/112374322230920073195' rel='author' style='display:none;'> Google </a> <div class='label-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'> Labels: </span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Chrome%20Device%20Management' rel='tag'> Chrome Device Management </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Chrome%20digital%20signage' rel='tag'> Chrome digital signage </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Apps' rel='tag'> Google Apps </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='8535471124586111019' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/08/building-data-driven-companies-with-Google-and-Asana-Q-and-A-with-Looker.html' itemprop='url' title='Using Google and Asana to provide more understandable data: Q&A with Looker'> Using Google and Asana to provide more understandable data: Q&A with Looker </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> Tuesday, August 30, 2016 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <br /> <i><b>Editor's note:</b> Today we speak with Kyle Coleman, Director of Sales Development and Kelly Payne, Customer Programs Manager at Looker, a data analytics software company that makes deep data understandable and useable for business teams.

As a fast growing startup, we think a lot about scaling our team and processes effectively and efficiently. We need the right tools do this well.<br /> <br /> <b>Why Google Apps?</b><br /> <b>Kyle</b>: We’re heavy users of Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Docs, Sheets and Slides. We can easily share our work cross-functionally and always feel confident that the person we’re working with has the most up-to-date version.<br /> <b>Kelly</b>: We’re constantly pulling up a Google Doc to have everyone work from the same place at the same time. There’s a huge benefit to having our work and discussions update in real time and to easily share what we’re working on with anyone in our organization. <br /> <br /> <b>How and why does your team use Asana?</b><br /> <b>Kyle</b>: We use Asana for important cross-functional workflows like new hire on-boarding, sales development and for almost all of our marketing team’s work. From campaign management to launches, every piece of content we publish — whether video, customer case study or blog post — is tracked in Asana. There’s so many moving pieces involved in a complex and collaborative workflow; Asana lets us track every detail.<br /> <b>Kelly</b>: With Asana, we can more easily keep track of who's doing what, and stay updated on the progress of projects. As we’ve grown, Asana has helped us identify how repeated tasks can become standardized processes. Developing process standards brings the clarity and accountability that help us work together well.<br /> <br /> <b>How are you using Asana and Google Apps together?</b><br /> <b>Kelly</b>: We're always linking our docs, spreadsheets or slide decks into our Asana tasks, which is easy to do with the Asana and Google Drive integration. Asana is where we make our work actionable, so the task becomes the place where all the relevant information is stored. Connecting Google and Asana makes it easy to ensure that everyone’s working out of the right documents. We’ve added a good deal of efficiency to our workflow by not duplicating efforts across teams.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjokSCQLxYQcbElKam5LuVauG5mFsBTgGpDkKvAfzeyZ9G4TN4U741STKqVBWRa8OwmOQsiJWQQwhqPDigSLZu4zyBxRQ3w8QmMBL98_e-WoSC_LTVQQSCp6UZ75H-uL8913rPcCwVZ20E/s1600/Looker-2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="286" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjokSCQLxYQcbElKam5LuVauG5mFsBTgGpDkKvAfzeyZ9G4TN4U741STKqVBWRa8OwmOQsiJWQQwhqPDigSLZu4zyBxRQ3w8QmMBL98_e-WoSC_LTVQQSCp6UZ75H-uL8913rPcCwVZ20E/s640/Looker-2.png" width="640" /></a></div> <b>How has productivity improved on your team by integrating Asana and Google apps?</b><br /> <b>Kyle</b>: Two things that matter deeply to us as a growing team are productivity and priorities.

It was tough to get clients at the beginning because nobody wanted to hand-paint anything, it was a completely dead industry. So we built a sustainable business out of a startup, guerrilla-style beginning. <br /> <br /> <b>Why hand-painted advertising?</b><br /> Hand-paint is in your face. It’s exciting. Being high up on buildings and painting on rigs, I thought it was the coolest thing in the world. Now we’re working on 400 of these projects a year. <br /> <br /> <b>When did you start using Google Apps?</b><br /> Colossal has been using Gmail as our corporate email platform for about 10 years and in around 2008, we began to use Google Apps.<br /> <br /> <b>What made you choose Google Apps?</b><br /> From a logistical standpoint, it made the most sense. We’re physically all over the place. We all work from different locations (offices in New York, co-workers in California, painters working out in the field across the globe) and needed a solid solution for communication and information exchange. Apps makes it easy to share concepts and ideas. <br /> <br /> <b>Which apps do you use most and why?</b><br /> Google Drive is super helpful for Colossal. It helps keep all projects organized and managed. It’s also nice having a sharing tool to use that can be kept private.<br /> <br /> We also use Sheets, Forms, Hangouts and Docs. From the shop perspective, Sheets is a great web-based solution that helps us create database systems for organizing, compiling and calculating job information during pre-production. Sheets also helps us deliver accurate, up-to-date information to our crew and clients who are in several locations around the city on any given day. Forms let us collect feedback from the field and gather Peer Evaluations and End-of-Job details. <br /> <br /> <b>How has Google Apps changed the way you work?</b><br /> As Colossal has grown as a company, communication has become harder because it’s not always face to face. Google Apps has made communicating from anywhere more streamlined and efficient. The flexibility to have instant, easy access to everything we need to get the job done — whether we’re on site for a paint job or in the office across the country — from colleagues we’re collaborating with has helped us scale. When you work outdoors and wrestle with the elements, anything can happen when you least expect it. Google Apps brings all of our information to us wherever we are, whenever we need it. It’s also great that we’re able to go back and find things from eight years ago and look at it. It’s like a treasure trove of memories that travels with you.<br /> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/b47UZi6uaqo" width="640"></iframe></div> </script> <noscript> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <br /> <i><b>Editor's note:</b> Today Google Sheets <b><a href="https://googleblog.blogspot.com/2016/07/art-collaboration-sheets.html" target="_blank">unveiled an original artwork in NYC</a></b> <links ogb="" to="">, designed entirely in Sheets by two artists working together from different continents.

It’s like a treasure trove of memories that travels with you.<br /> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/b47UZi6uaqo" width="640"></iframe></div> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/07/Colossal-Media-and-the-art-of-collaboration-Sheets-to-the-streets.html'> <img alt='Share on Google+' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/branding/google_plus/2x/ic_w_post_gplus_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='twitter-custom social-wrapper' data-href='http://twitter.com/share?text=Official Google Cloud Blog:Colossal Media and the art of collaboration: Sheets to the streets&url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/07/Colossal-Media-and-the-art-of-collaboration-Sheets-to-the-streets.html&via=gsuite'> <img alt='Share on Twitter' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_twitter_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='fb-custom social-wrapper' data-href='https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/07/Colossal-Media-and-the-art-of-collaboration-Sheets-to-the-streets.html'> <img alt='Share on Facebook' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_facebook_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> </div> <div class='comment-container'> <i class='comment-img material-icons'>  </i> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='272' data-onclick='' data-post-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/07/Colossal-Media-and-the-art-of-collaboration-Sheets-to-the-streets.html' data-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/07/Colossal-Media-and-the-art-of-collaboration-Sheets-to-the-streets.html' style='color: #4184F3;'></span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/07/Colossal-Media-and-the-art-of-collaboration-Sheets-to-the-streets.html' data-viewtype='FILTERED_POSTMOD'></div> <a href='https://plus.google.com/112374322230920073195' rel='author' style='display:none;'> Google </a> <div class='label-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'> Labels: </span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Apps' rel='tag'> Google Apps </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Sheets' rel='tag'> Google Sheets </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='5059543833518879205' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2015/12/google-for-work-security-announcing-DLP.html' itemprop='url' title='Google for Work security: Announcing Data Loss Prevention to wrap up 2015'> Google for Work security: Announcing Data Loss Prevention to wrap up 2015 </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> Wednesday, December 9, 2015 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Suzanne Frey, Director, Security, Trust, and Privacy, Google Apps</span> <br /> <br /> Every company has data that it must keep secure — whether that data is about confidential innovations, strategic plans or sensitive HR issues — keeping all of your data safe from inadvertent or purposeful leaks needs to be simple, quick and reliable. Google for Work already helps admins manage information security with tools such as encryption, sharing controls, mobile device management and two-factor authentication. However, sometimes user actions compromise the best of all of these controls; for example, a user might hit “Reply all” when meaning to send a private message with sensitive content. <br /> <br /> Starting today, if you’re a Google Apps Unlimited customer, Data Loss Prevention (DLP) for Gmail will add another layer of protection to prevent sensitive information from being revealed to those who shouldn’t have it.<br /> <br /> <h3 style="text-align: left;"> How Gmail DLP works</h3> Organizations may have a policy that the Sales department shouldn’t share customer credit card information with vendors. And to keep information safe, admins can easily set up a DLP policy by selecting “Credit Card Numbers” from a library of predefined content detectors. Gmail DLP will automatically check all outgoing emails from the Sales department and take action based on what the admin has specified: either quarantine the email for review, tell users to modify the information or block the email from being sent and notify the sender. These checks don’t just apply to email text, but also to content inside common attachment types ― such as documents, presentations and spreadsheets. And admins can also create custom rules with keywords and regular expressions.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYjSrJFmL6qiqV9YTw1uBnTraKTIknN8dIExOsuz7ynVUQyyNQQp1FHHZh6mekZv-4g1VuOLXGTLnXUEJv9BcA7r0Q0l057bBwF9oeHt85DaEgrGKtrGRt6AMYJLTPDzV7iu4G7e-LjBc/s1600/security+1.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="322" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYjSrJFmL6qiqV9YTw1uBnTraKTIknN8dIExOsuz7ynVUQyyNQQp1FHHZh6mekZv-4g1VuOLXGTLnXUEJv9BcA7r0Q0l057bBwF9oeHt85DaEgrGKtrGRt6AMYJLTPDzV7iu4G7e-LjBc/s640/security+1.png" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> <br /> Check out the DLP <a href="http://services.google.com/fh/files/misc/gmail_dlp_whitepaper.pdf" target="_blank">whitepaper</a> for more information including the full list of predefined content creators, and learn how to <a href="https://support.google.com/a/answer/6280516" target="_blank">get started</a>.

But often our to-do list is elsewhere, separate from the Calendar that organizes our day, and we end up overcommitted or miss something important because we forgot to check our list.<br /> <br /> Now there's a single way to manage your day: starting this week, you can create Reminders in Google Calendar to keep track of your to-dos alongside your scheduled events.<br /> <center> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/cPuvf2lzZMY" width="560"></iframe></center> <br /> <b>Reminders stick around</b><br /> You might already create calendar entries to remind you to call the doctor or pick up groceries on the way home. But while those entries come and go, Reminders stick with you over time so you can track them until they are actually done. If a Reminder isn't completed, it will appear at the top of your Calendar the next day. And the next.

But often our to-do list is elsewhere, separate from the Calendar that organizes our day, and we end up overcommitted or miss something important because we forgot to check our list.<br /> <br /> Now there's a single way to manage your day: starting this week, you can create Reminders in Google Calendar to keep track of your to-dos alongside your scheduled events.<br /> <center> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/cPuvf2lzZMY" width="560"></iframe></center> <br /> <b>Reminders stick around</b><br /> You might already create calendar entries to remind you to call the doctor or pick up groceries on the way home. But while those entries come and go, Reminders stick with you over time so you can track them until they are actually done. If a Reminder isn't completed, it will appear at the top of your Calendar the next day. And the next.

We also provide services like humidity control to prevent property damage, and consult on business continuity and disaster recovery plans.

We used various email systems across our 300 offices, but they needed rigorous IT support to stay up and running. We looked to the cloud for a single system our entire workforce could use and considered Microsoft 365 and IBM SmartCloud (since we’d been using Lotus Notes), but <a href="https://www.google.com/work/apps/business/" target="_blank">Google Apps</a> stood out as a single, secure system with all the functionality we needed.<br /> <br /> We believed our employees would quickly embrace Google tools, since Android was already our most widely used platform for mobile devices. When we tested Google Apps with 50 managers throughout Polygon and saw a 95% satisfaction rate, we wasted no time rolling out Apps to more than 1,900 users worldwide. We worked with Avalon Solutions, a Google Apps Premier Partner in the Nordics, who performed the successful migration and roll-out to our global team.<br /> <br /> Since moving to Apps in spring 2013, we’ve achieved significant cost savings. We’ve reduced travel expenses because our workers use video-conferencing on <a href="https://www.google.com/work/apps/business/products/hangouts/" target="_blank">Hangouts</a> to meet rather than coordinate costly and time-consuming in-person meetings. IT support costs are down, too. In fact, compared to our previous Lotus Notes environment, our cost per user is about 50% less – which translates to about $480,000 in annual savings.<br /> <br /> Global cooperation has also improved, particularly because group managers have embraced <a href="https://www.google.com/work/apps/business/products/sites/" target="_blank">Google Sites</a> as a strategic tool. They’ve created sites for business systems used to report on each group’s operational performance. Managers can monitor financial metrics, key performance indicators, and other information in a single environment that’s easy to use and share. We plan to create sites for our country management teams to track business performance for each region.<br /> <br /> Google Apps opens up new ways of working at all levels within Polygon, from managers to field technicians. What began as a search for a new email system has evolved into a complete overhaul of our communications. Today, thousands of Polygon employees across more than a dozen countries communicate and collaborate with ease using Google Apps. The greatest benefit for us is that we now can provide a faster, more effective response to businesses in the challenging and courageous position of overcoming natural disaster.</div> </script> <noscript> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Mats Randleff, IT Director for Stockholm, Sweden-based Polygon Group</span> <br /> <br /> <i><b>Editor's note:</b> Today’s guest blogger is Mats Randleff, IT Director for Stockholm, Sweden-based <a href="http://www.polygongroup.com/us/" target="_blank">Polygon Group</a>, a global provider of property damage restoration, temporary humidity control and property performance services. </i><br /> <br /> When disaster strikes, Polygon Group is often the first call companies make to help restore their facilities and critical documents.

Nearly two-thirds of our 2,800-employees are mobile, so we can be on the spot for our customers whenever we’re needed.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbC72jvATWu68ExYJY2e97SFjVGdIAmJkTu7GeNEz52gi9OlCPson38NinUrSfP2qZfr-h135sYQhpprtPVxHPAPhX7pbCdS5ejA5KJiWBPEQ0xA0OnA2rIi_4d5l_u9NW9I5P_9FIRyg/s1600/WDR+(3).png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbC72jvATWu68ExYJY2e97SFjVGdIAmJkTu7GeNEz52gi9OlCPson38NinUrSfP2qZfr-h135sYQhpprtPVxHPAPhX7pbCdS5ejA5KJiWBPEQ0xA0OnA2rIi_4d5l_u9NW9I5P_9FIRyg/s1600/WDR+(3).png" width="640" /></a></div> Every minute counts when companies are trying to get back to business after a fire or flood, so our field technicians need reliable communication tools. We used various email systems across our 300 offices, but they needed rigorous IT support to stay up and running. We looked to the cloud for a single system our entire workforce could use and considered Microsoft 365 and IBM SmartCloud (since we’d been using Lotus Notes), but <a href="https://www.google.com/work/apps/business/" target="_blank">Google Apps</a> stood out as a single, secure system with all the functionality we needed.<br /> <br /> We believed our employees would quickly embrace Google tools, since Android was already our most widely used platform for mobile devices. When we tested Google Apps with 50 managers throughout Polygon and saw a 95% satisfaction rate, we wasted no time rolling out Apps to more than 1,900 users worldwide. We worked with Avalon Solutions, a Google Apps Premier Partner in the Nordics, who performed the successful migration and roll-out to our global team.<br /> <br /> Since moving to Apps in spring 2013, we’ve achieved significant cost savings. We’ve reduced travel expenses because our workers use video-conferencing on <a href="https://www.google.com/work/apps/business/products/hangouts/" target="_blank">Hangouts</a> to meet rather than coordinate costly and time-consuming in-person meetings. IT support costs are down, too. In fact, compared to our previous Lotus Notes environment, our cost per user is about 50% less – which translates to about $480,000 in annual savings.<br /> <br /> Global cooperation has also improved, particularly because group managers have embraced <a href="https://www.google.com/work/apps/business/products/sites/" target="_blank">Google Sites</a> as a strategic tool. They’ve created sites for business systems used to report on each group’s operational performance. Managers can monitor financial metrics, key performance indicators, and other information in a single environment that’s easy to use and share. We plan to create sites for our country management teams to track business performance for each region.<br /> <br /> Google Apps opens up new ways of working at all levels within Polygon, from managers to field technicians. What began as a search for a new email system has evolved into a complete overhaul of our communications. Today, thousands of Polygon employees across more than a dozen countries communicate and collaborate with ease using Google Apps. The greatest benefit for us is that we now can provide a faster, more effective response to businesses in the challenging and courageous position of overcoming natural disaster.</div> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2015/02/polygon-group-uses-google-apps-to-drive-disaster-response.html'> <img alt='Share on Google+' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/branding/google_plus/2x/ic_w_post_gplus_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='twitter-custom social-wrapper' data-href='http://twitter.com/share?text=Official Google Cloud Blog:Polygon Group uses Google Apps to drive disaster response &url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2015/02/polygon-group-uses-google-apps-to-drive-disaster-response.html&via=gsuite'> <img alt='Share on Twitter' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_twitter_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='fb-custom social-wrapper' data-href='https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2015/02/polygon-group-uses-google-apps-to-drive-disaster-response.html'> <img alt='Share on Facebook' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_facebook_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> </div> <div class='comment-container'> <i class='comment-img material-icons'>  </i> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='6' data-onclick='' data-post-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2015/02/polygon-group-uses-google-apps-to-drive-disaster-response.html' data-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2015/02/polygon-group-uses-google-apps-to-drive-disaster-response.html' style='color: #4184F3;'></span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2015/02/polygon-group-uses-google-apps-to-drive-disaster-response.html' data-viewtype='FILTERED_POSTMOD'></div> <a href='https://plus.google.com/112374322230920073195' rel='author' style='display:none;'> Google </a> <div class='label-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'> Labels: </span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/customer%20love' rel='tag'> customer love </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Gone%20Google' rel='tag'> Gone Google </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Apps' rel='tag'> Google Apps </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Apps%20for%20Work' rel='tag'> Google Apps for Work </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20for%20Work' rel='tag'> Google for Work </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Hangouts' rel='tag'> Google Hangouts </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/google%20sites' rel='tag'> google sites </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='1879540451810217344' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2015/02/lets-build-new-work-inbox-together.html' itemprop='url' title='Let’s build a new work Inbox together'> Let’s build a new work Inbox together </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> Monday, February 23, 2015 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Alex Gawley, Director of Product Management, Gmail and Inbox by Gmail </span> <br /> <br /> Have you ever felt like your inbox was someone else’s to-do list?

That means your apps have the latest tools, security updates and speed improvements — as soon as they’re ready. And that applies across the Docs editors as well.

The last thing you want to worry about is what software you need in order to view or edit these files. For this reason, we made it so you can <a href="http://googleforwork.blogspot.com/2014/07/docs-sheets-and-slides-work-with-any.html" target="_blank">open and edit Office files</a> directly in Google Docs, Sheets and Slides, on your desktop, phone or tablet. </div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <b>Make suggestions</b></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> Editing files in real-time with others is a great way to work together across the Docs editors, and many of you asked for the ability to suggest changes in other peoples’ documents, rather than making edits directly. Now you can do just that with <a href="http://googleforwork.blogspot.com/2014/07/docs-sheets-and-slides-work-with-any.html" target="_blank">Suggest Edits in Docs</a>. Make suggestions that can be accepted or rejected with a single click.

While working in the cloud means you have access to your documents on any of these devices, you can still access or create documents even if you don’t have a data or WiFi connection. <br /> <br /> <b>Edit your images directly</b><br /> Sometimes the best way to convey a thought is visually and you need your images to look just right, which is why we made it easier to edit and adjust images. You can now <a href="http://googledrive.blogspot.com/2014/03/edit-images-right-in-google-slides-and.html" target="_blank">crop</a> your images, even masking the crop to specific shapes, and add borders in Docs, Slides and Drawings. Plus, you can <a href="https://plus.google.com/+GoogleforWork/posts/RHKbQnnRtP6?e=-RedirectToSandbox" target="_blank">connect objects and images in Slides and Drawings</a>, <a href="http://googledrive.blogspot.com/2014/10/editimagesinslides.html" target="_blank">recolor and change opacity</a> of images in Slides, and even add effects.<br /> <br /> <b>Get things done faster</b><br /> We want to help you take care of your common tasks. And you know what lots of people make in documents? Bullet lists. So now, just type an asterisk (*) and it will automatically become bullets in Docs and Slides. Nobody likes having to do the same thing twice (unless you’re Santa) so just copy and paste your charts between different spreadsheets in Sheets. For all the regression lovers out there, you can also add <a href="https://plus.google.com/+GoogleforWork/posts/dCH8dS7CSMD?e=-RedirectToSandbox" target="_blank">trendlines</a>, and to further visualize trends, you can add miniature charts, or <a href="https://plus.google.com/+GoogleforWork/posts/eKgfthKdHT2" target="_blank">sparklines</a>, into individual cells. <br /> <br /> <b>Get answers to your surveys</b><br /> Forms is a great way to gather information, and across 2014, we added lots of new ways to ask questions and get answers. You can <a href="http://googledrive.blogspot.com/2014/09/custom-forms-themes.html" target="_blank">customize themes</a> in Forms to add your own flare and create short URLs that are easier to share. There are also lots of new question options, like <a href="http://googledrive.blogspot.com/2014/09/a-few-more-ways-to-make-forms-your-own.html" target="_blank">limiting</a> one response per person and shuffling the answer order. <br /> <br /> <b>Add tons of functionality from 3rd parties</b><br /> Add-ons for <a href="http://googleforwork.blogspot.com/2014/03/bring-little-something-extra-to-docs.html" target="_blank">Docs, Sheets</a> and <a href="http://googleforwork.blogspot.com/2014/10/add-ons-for-forms.html" target="_blank">Forms</a> are tools created by developers that help you do those extra things you need help with, whether it’s printing mailing labels or adding MLA-approved citations, right from your document. <br /> <br /> <b>Let there be tables</b><br /> You can add borders and backgrounds to your tables, and <a href="https://plus.google.com/+GoogleDrive/posts/fDKE7htJ2Ma?" target="_blank">merge cells together</a> to get your tables to look just how you want. And when you convert your legacy files to Docs, the table cells and borders will still be there so you can keep working.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7iJ-n2mriNXWQK_IIoRTzPNTkKDLTa2Psfz1m-OBNNwNQk3jd77ZJkITSaQLWEMr0IhJbS0blmF_fGnWQK-Uhd0pywVWXmOHfJbbdn4R3pQNOZKK1AToE50SWtXbDu3X1oRfRPDIZLt8/s1600/Mondrian.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="414" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7iJ-n2mriNXWQK_IIoRTzPNTkKDLTa2Psfz1m-OBNNwNQk3jd77ZJkITSaQLWEMr0IhJbS0blmF_fGnWQK-Uhd0pywVWXmOHfJbbdn4R3pQNOZKK1AToE50SWtXbDu3X1oRfRPDIZLt8/s1600/Mondrian.gif" width="640" /></a><br /> <b>And let everyone, including blind and low-vision users, get work done</b><br /> <a href="http://googleforwork.blogspot.com/2014/09/google-drive-and-docs-editors-designed.html" target="_blank">Across Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drawings and Forms</a>, it’s much easier to use a screen reader, with better text-to-voice verbalization and improvements to keyboard navigation. You can now use braille support to read and enter text in Docs, Slides and Drawings. And you can collaborate easier with others in Docs, Sheets, Slides or Drawings because screen readers announce when people enter or leave the document, and you’ll hear when others are editing alongside you.<br /> <br /> We’ll continue to make a ton of updates behind the scenes to ensure everything keeps running faster and smoother next year. Four cheers (Docs! Sheets! Slides!

That’s the amount of time the average person spends <a href="http://www.forbes.com/2010/03/04/happiness-work-resilience-forbes-woman-well-being-satisfaction.html" target="_blank">working during their lifetime</a>. To put that in perspective, if you spend 90,000 hours watching movies and did nothing else — no sleep, no breaks — you would be watching for 10 years non-stop.</div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> Since you spend so much time at work, we want you to have the latest Google Apps updates when they're available to make working easier. That means your apps have the latest tools, security updates and speed improvements — as soon as they’re ready. And that applies across the Docs editors as well. So as a busy 2014 comes to a close, we want to highlight a few of the new ways get things done with Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drawings and Forms. </div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <b>Work with any kind of file</b></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> You come across all types of files all day. The last thing you want to worry about is what software you need in order to view or edit these files. For this reason, we made it so you can <a href="http://googleforwork.blogspot.com/2014/07/docs-sheets-and-slides-work-with-any.html" target="_blank">open and edit Office files</a> directly in Google Docs, Sheets and Slides, on your desktop, phone or tablet. </div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <b>Make suggestions</b></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> Editing files in real-time with others is a great way to work together across the Docs editors, and many of you asked for the ability to suggest changes in other peoples’ documents, rather than making edits directly. Now you can do just that with <a href="http://googleforwork.blogspot.com/2014/07/docs-sheets-and-slides-work-with-any.html" target="_blank">Suggest Edits in Docs</a>. Make suggestions that can be accepted or rejected with a single click. And when you convert a Word file to Docs or vice versa, your tracked changes will convert as well.</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrY9MaqLeEKMdfq7DU-bav-0RVD4swbVy87TyB-lwJCvn-DDNnt-3g0QlojrhL_bcbScu6B4U-Y7utyAHabzgJ6iKZrz6B7xFy-4LrWfujwF-HkRLmB2bI0j6USDVleCmoeatXTUr3Y7M/s1600/SuggestEdits.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrY9MaqLeEKMdfq7DU-bav-0RVD4swbVy87TyB-lwJCvn-DDNnt-3g0QlojrhL_bcbScu6B4U-Y7utyAHabzgJ6iKZrz6B7xFy-4LrWfujwF-HkRLmB2bI0j6USDVleCmoeatXTUr3Y7M/s640/SuggestEdits.gif" /></a></div> <b>Work on any of your devices.</b><br /> We created <a href="http://googledrive.blogspot.com/2014/04/docssheetsapps.html" target="_blank">new mobile apps for Docs, Sheets and Slides</a> across Android and iOS, where you can edit your documents, presentations and spreadsheets on the go. While working in the cloud means you have access to your documents on any of these devices, you can still access or create documents even if you don’t have a data or WiFi connection. <br /> <br /> <b>Edit your images directly</b><br /> Sometimes the best way to convey a thought is visually and you need your images to look just right, which is why we made it easier to edit and adjust images. You can now <a href="http://googledrive.blogspot.com/2014/03/edit-images-right-in-google-slides-and.html" target="_blank">crop</a> your images, even masking the crop to specific shapes, and add borders in Docs, Slides and Drawings. Plus, you can <a href="https://plus.google.com/+GoogleforWork/posts/RHKbQnnRtP6?e=-RedirectToSandbox" target="_blank">connect objects and images in Slides and Drawings</a>, <a href="http://googledrive.blogspot.com/2014/10/editimagesinslides.html" target="_blank">recolor and change opacity</a> of images in Slides, and even add effects.<br /> <br /> <b>Get things done faster</b><br /> We want to help you take care of your common tasks. And you know what lots of people make in documents? Bullet lists. So now, just type an asterisk (*) and it will automatically become bullets in Docs and Slides. Nobody likes having to do the same thing twice (unless you’re Santa) so just copy and paste your charts between different spreadsheets in Sheets. For all the regression lovers out there, you can also add <a href="https://plus.google.com/+GoogleforWork/posts/dCH8dS7CSMD?e=-RedirectToSandbox" target="_blank">trendlines</a>, and to further visualize trends, you can add miniature charts, or <a href="https://plus.google.com/+GoogleforWork/posts/eKgfthKdHT2" target="_blank">sparklines</a>, into individual cells. <br /> <br /> <b>Get answers to your surveys</b><br /> Forms is a great way to gather information, and across 2014, we added lots of new ways to ask questions and get answers. You can <a href="http://googledrive.blogspot.com/2014/09/custom-forms-themes.html" target="_blank">customize themes</a> in Forms to add your own flare and create short URLs that are easier to share. There are also lots of new question options, like <a href="http://googledrive.blogspot.com/2014/09/a-few-more-ways-to-make-forms-your-own.html" target="_blank">limiting</a> one response per person and shuffling the answer order. <br /> <br /> <b>Add tons of functionality from 3rd parties</b><br /> Add-ons for <a href="http://googleforwork.blogspot.com/2014/03/bring-little-something-extra-to-docs.html" target="_blank">Docs, Sheets</a> and <a href="http://googleforwork.blogspot.com/2014/10/add-ons-for-forms.html" target="_blank">Forms</a> are tools created by developers that help you do those extra things you need help with, whether it’s printing mailing labels or adding MLA-approved citations, right from your document. <br /> <br /> <b>Let there be tables</b><br /> You can add borders and backgrounds to your tables, and <a href="https://plus.google.com/+GoogleDrive/posts/fDKE7htJ2Ma?" target="_blank">merge cells together</a> to get your tables to look just how you want. And when you convert your legacy files to Docs, the table cells and borders will still be there so you can keep working.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7iJ-n2mriNXWQK_IIoRTzPNTkKDLTa2Psfz1m-OBNNwNQk3jd77ZJkITSaQLWEMr0IhJbS0blmF_fGnWQK-Uhd0pywVWXmOHfJbbdn4R3pQNOZKK1AToE50SWtXbDu3X1oRfRPDIZLt8/s1600/Mondrian.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="414" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7iJ-n2mriNXWQK_IIoRTzPNTkKDLTa2Psfz1m-OBNNwNQk3jd77ZJkITSaQLWEMr0IhJbS0blmF_fGnWQK-Uhd0pywVWXmOHfJbbdn4R3pQNOZKK1AToE50SWtXbDu3X1oRfRPDIZLt8/s1600/Mondrian.gif" width="640" /></a><br /> <b>And let everyone, including blind and low-vision users, get work done</b><br /> <a href="http://googleforwork.blogspot.com/2014/09/google-drive-and-docs-editors-designed.html" target="_blank">Across Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drawings and Forms</a>, it’s much easier to use a screen reader, with better text-to-voice verbalization and improvements to keyboard navigation. You can now use braille support to read and enter text in Docs, Slides and Drawings. And you can collaborate easier with others in Docs, Sheets, Slides or Drawings because screen readers announce when people enter or leave the document, and you’ll hear when others are editing alongside you.<br /> <br /> We’ll continue to make a ton of updates behind the scenes to ensure everything keeps running faster and smoother next year.

People are willing to put in the time to help their communities.<br /> <br /> <i>Ben</i>: Minnesota is an education-forward state. There’s a large community of people who have connected over the years at various events and online who share a passion for changing education. <br /> <br /> <i>Sean</i>: Teachers are a special breed of folk. They give themselves over to making a difference in others’ lives. The thing that I do to foster that collaboration is provide space, time and tools.<br /> <br /> <i>Katrina</i>: I look to three key ingredients: culture, tools and time. Culture is seeing the “we” and “our” in everything. These are our students, not my students. Tools like Google give us a starting point — a place for collaboration. The last piece is time: giving teachers the dedicated time to work together every day is essential.<br /> <br /> <i>Molly</i>: We know that we’re better together. We’ve created an amazing network of teachers and specialists that share ideas and best practices, and know the lessons we have learned can really help other schools in the area. We share ideas at local conferences, present and attend the Summits featuring Google for Education, and participate in our <a href="https://plus.google.com/communities/105777421037154111957" target="_blank">Twin Cities Google Educators Group</a> — all of which create an amazing network.<br /> <br /> <b>Mike: How do you help teachers support each other? </b><br /> <br /> <i>Mark</i>: In my district we offer year-long training for educators to become technology leaders in their schools. Molly Schroeder actually created and teaches the program, and it’s made a big impact. Participating teachers get 10 semester credits, and the school district pays part of their course fees.

We share a sense of the possible and the potential in education. He challenges and encourages me to remain dedicated to learning about the hard stuff. How do we do better for all kids? How can we use teaching to improve the world for our own children, and the children of people we'll never meet?<br /> <br /> <i>Katrina</i>: I am profoundly thankful for our middle school media directors: Karen Qualey, Tara Oldfield and Christina Lindstrom. They get stuff done with a can-do attitude — they’re focused on students and learning and they’re willing to experiment, fail, learn and iterate.

She was a kindergarten teacher for 36 years, and touched the lives of so many people in our community.

To this day, former students stop my mom and tell her what a great teacher she was, because she cared about them. </div> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2014/11/minnesota-teachers-give-thanks-to-their.html'> <img alt='Share on Google+' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/branding/google_plus/2x/ic_w_post_gplus_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='twitter-custom social-wrapper' data-href='http://twitter.com/share?text=Official Google Cloud Blog:Minnesota teachers give thanks to their teammates&url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2014/11/minnesota-teachers-give-thanks-to-their.html&via=gsuite'> <img alt='Share on Twitter' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_twitter_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='fb-custom social-wrapper' data-href='https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2014/11/minnesota-teachers-give-thanks-to-their.html'> <img alt='Share on Facebook' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_facebook_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> </div> <div class='comment-container'> <i class='comment-img material-icons'>  </i> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='5' data-onclick='' data-post-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2014/11/minnesota-teachers-give-thanks-to-their.html' data-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2014/11/minnesota-teachers-give-thanks-to-their.html' style='color: #4184F3;'></span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2014/11/minnesota-teachers-give-thanks-to-their.html' data-viewtype='FILTERED_POSTMOD'></div> <a href='https://plus.google.com/112374322230920073195' rel='author' style='display:none;'> Google </a> <div class='label-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'> Labels: </span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Apps' rel='tag'> Google Apps </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20for%20Education' rel='tag'> Google for Education </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Thanksgiving' rel='tag'> Thanksgiving </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='3334097086906205134' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2014/11/new-security-tools-to-help-improve.html' itemprop='url' title=' New security tools to help improve online security '> New security tools to help improve online security </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> Monday, November 24, 2014 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Eran Feigenbaum, Director of Security Google for Work</span> <br /> <br /> As an IT manager, we realize you spend a lot of time managing devices, applications and security settings for everyone at your organization.

In NYC, we have more schools innovating, more schools piloting technology and more schools leading the charge in finding the right tools for teachers and students.<br /> <br /> At their core, schools are learning organizations. Teachers learn something new then help their kids learn it; they’re professional learners. And they know what they need much better than I do as an administrator. The Division of Instructional and Informational Technology (DIIT) team at the Department of Education listens to what educators want, understands what drives these asks, and then translates their needs into technology requirements and an IT strategy that helps students learn.<br /> <br /> We take the same approach here in NYC as I did in my years working in the private sector — we use the customer engagement model. We treat schools as customers and engage them as advocates of the technology. The educators who live in the community and teach students every day have the best ideas about what they need in technology, not a guy like me who works at the 30,000-foot view. The job of my team is to support technology choices that will help the schools. <br /> <br /> Over the last year, we saw more and more schools using <a href="https://www.google.com/edu/apps" target="_blank">Google Apps for Education</a>. After evaluating it centrally we decided to add Google Apps to our list of approved and supported tools for NYC schools this year. A number of factors drove this decision. First, a number of schools were already using Google Apps for Education. Second, since Google Apps doesn’t require special technical skills, schools were able to customize the tools to meet their specific needs. This included everything from fostering parent engagement, to managing classrooms, to creating and sharing online curricula. Administrators told us they liked Google Apps because they could be as open or restrictive as they wanted in terms of how much communication they allowed beyond the school domain.<br /> <br /> From a central office perspective, we authorized Google Apps because it integrates easily with our existing systems and we find it very easy to manage. This means tasks like setting up student sign-on for identity management are straightforward, and we don’t have to spend a lot of resources to manage domains. The tools are intuitive, so we haven’t had to offer much training. We created a <a href="https://sites.google.com/a/mynycschool.org/nycdoe-gafe/home" target="_blank">NYC DoE Google Apps for Education Resource Center</a> to help people get off and running. <br /> <br /> We take the same approach to evaluating devices as we do to evaluating other tools. We saw that many schools wanted to use <a href="https://www.google.com/edu/chromebooks" target="_blank">Chromebooks</a>, and in our assessments, found them to be an affordable, manageable option for learning. So we worked with the OEMs to ensure Chromebooks met all our specifications, and added them to our list of approved school devices. We want the schools to have choices — whether it is a laptop or a tablet or both — across price range and functionality.<br /> <br /> People say that things can’t move quickly in the public sector, but I don’t believe that. If you’re committed to listening to the schools, finding out what they need and setting goals against getting it done, you’ll make things happen.</div> </script> <noscript> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Hal Friedlander, Chief Information Officer, New York City Department of Education </span> <br /> <br /> <i>(Cross-posted on the <a href="http://googleforeducation.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Google for Education blog</a>.)</i><br /> <br /> <i><b>Editor's note: </b><a href="//www.google.com/url?q=http://schools.nyc.gov/Offices/EnterpriseOperations/DIIT/default.htm&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNHw_wTnZNSV15VJFORcerJvt4OmyA" target="_blank">The New York City Department of Education Division of Instructional and Informational Technology</a> recently approved Google Apps for Education as a supported tool for their schools.
