See what other organizations that have gone Google <a href="http://www.google.com/enterprise/apps/business/customers.html?utm_campaign=entblog&utm_source=Fred05292014&utm_medium=blog" target="_blank">have to say</a>.</i> <br /> <br /> At Chapters Health System, the role of IT is to provide software, connectivity and hardware to caregivers so they can spend less time wrestling with technology, and more time caring for patients. Our goal is to make the IT portion transparent to providing superior patient care. Most of our nurses and caregivers are mobile – they visit patients in hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living facilities or in their homes. <br /> <br /> To best support them, we virtualized our clinical and business software applications, and provide access to them via <a href="http://www.citrix.com/products/xenapp/overview.html?posit=glnav" target="_blank">Citrix XenApp via Receiver</a>. We also make sure our caregivers can stay connected through a Verizon 4G Mifi device. As for hardware, caregivers were using Windows notebooks but boot-up delays, long setup times for new machines, and the bulkiness of the devices were slowing down and frustrating our caregivers. In addition, the devices were hard to manage by the IT support staff. <br /> <br /> To find a solution, we took a democratic approach and asked caregivers to evaluate four devices: the <a href="https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/business/devices/chromebooks.html#hp-cb-14" target="_blank">HP Chromebook 14 for Busines</a>s, Apple iPad, a Windows thin client, and a traditional Windows notebook. Caregivers rated the HP Chromebook 14 higher than any other device in all areas, including form factor, battery life, ease of use, speed and performance of virtualized applications like Microsoft Outlook and clinical applications, as well as web applications. Ninety-two out of 139 caregivers who participated in our study voted the Chromebook as their favorite device for work.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMVAqk6-Exs-1qkYLSwM1yNq5Y_SRisiUs3xhG4ioAaHhMVJaOnZdo7sokji3gQPH-y7-7SOoPot4AY393uPk-k9YfZ32GhNd2geOS0wR6Z2kK4bPnwxnsW1DgffFxd8vdf9Lf/s1600/080514-Google-chromebooks-preferred_v8.jes.tk-01.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="568" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMVAqk6-Exs-1qkYLSwM1yNq5Y_SRisiUs3xhG4ioAaHhMVJaOnZdo7sokji3gQPH-y7-7SOoPot4AY393uPk-k9YfZ32GhNd2geOS0wR6Z2kK4bPnwxnsW1DgffFxd8vdf9Lf/s1600/080514-Google-chromebooks-preferred_v8.jes.tk-01.png" width="640" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> Luckily for us in IT, <a href="https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/business/devices/features.html" target="_blank">Chromebooks for Business</a> are also the easiest devices to deploy and manage, freeing up our own time for other projects. The biggest change we’ve heard about so far is improved speed. With a traditional Windows notebook, caregivers faced three to four minute boot times, plus multiple logins to Windows, their VPN, and then finally Citrix and the applications. With Chromebooks, boot time shrank dramatically and Chromebooks start up right at the Citrix login screen, so caregivers can access clinical data right away.<br /> <br /> Speed benefits extend to setup time as well. Some of our supplemental and weekend caregivers borrow from a pool of shared devices, and it took 40 minutes to set up each Windows notebook. With Chromebooks for Business, we can hop into the <a href="https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/business/devices/features-management-console.html" target="_blank">management console</a> and set up a new Chromebook in under five minutes. Even better, we use the management console to configure access for users so that if they need to borrow a machine we don’t have to get involved at all—they just pick up a Chromebook and log in. Since each caregiver can get his or her specific user experience on any Chromebook, it's easy for the devices to be shared.<br /> <br /> For additional security and simplicity, we use Chromebook for Business’s <a href="https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/3134673?hl=en" target="_blank">Kiosk mode</a> to offer one single application, the Citrix login screen, but we’ll be extending it other web applications soon. We also use the management console to mandate the proxy server for Internet access—a feature that’s built-in to each Chromebook for Business.<br /> <br /> Chromebooks are giving back precious time to caregivers and their patients. In fact, we’re looking at purchasing many more Chromebooks in the near future so we can extend the benefits to even more Chapters Health employees.</div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'>Labels:</span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/chromebooks' rel='tag'>chromebooks</a>, <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/Chromebooks%20for%20Business' rel='tag'>Chromebooks for Business</a>, <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/customer%20love' rel='tag'>customer love</a>, <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/Gone%20Google' rel='tag'>Gone Google</a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='0' data-onclick='' data-post-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/08/chromebooks-give-back-time-to-chapters.html' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/08/chromebooks-give-back-time-to-chapters.html' style='color: #245dc1;'></span> </span> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='8856030482406689268' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/08/dick-smith-masters-operational.html' itemprop='url' title='Dick Smith masters operational communications with Google Apps and Drive'> Dick Smith masters operational communications with Google Apps and Drive </a></h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'><span class='caption'>Posted:</span> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'>Tuesday, August 19, 2014</span> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-wrapper'> <div class='g-plusone' data-href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/08/dick-smith-masters-operational.html' data-size='medium'></div> </span> <a class='twitter-share-button' data-lang='en' data-related='googleatwork' data-text='Dick Smith masters operational communications with Google Apps and Drive' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/08/dick-smith-masters-operational.html' data-via='googleatwork' href='https://twitter.com/share'>Tweet</a> <iframe allowTransparency='true' frameborder='0' scrolling='no' src='http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/08/dick-smith-masters-operational.html&layout=button_count&show_faces=false&width=77&action=like&colorscheme=light&height=20' style='border:none; overflow:hidden; width:77px; height:20px;'></iframe> <span class='linkedin-wrapper'> <script src='//platform.linkedin.com/in.js' type='text/javascript'>lang: en_US</script> <script data-counter='right' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/08/dick-smith-masters-operational.html' type='IN/Share'></script> </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <span class="byline-author">Posted Daniel Chiha, Communications Specialist (Operations) at Dick Smith</span> <br /> <br /> <i><b>Editor's note:</b> A few weeks ago, <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/06/unlimit-your-business-with-google-drive.html" target="_blank">we announced Google Drive for Work</a>, a new premium offering for businesses that includes unlimited storage, advanced audit reporting and new security controls. To celebrate the announcement and show how Drive helps businesses around the world, we’re sharing a few stories from a handful of customers using Drive (and the rest of the Google Apps suite) in innovative ways. Today’s guest blogger is Daniel Chiha, Communications Specialist (Operations) at <a href="https://www.dicksmith.com.au/" target="_blank">Dick Smith</a>, an electronics retailer in Australia and New Zealand.</i> <br /> <br /> The Retail Operations team at Dick Smith <a href="http://google-au.blogspot.com.au/2013/04/dick-smith-goes-google.html" target="_blank">moved to Google Apps</a> with help from <a href="http://www.cloudsherpas.com/">Cloud Sherpas</a> just over a year ago to improve the communication and coordination between our 3,000 or so staff in 376 stores across Australia and New Zealand. Since then, we’ve seen some pretty dramatic improvements and efficiencies in the way we get information out to our staff, thanks to <a href="http://www.google.com/enterprise/apps/business/products/drive/" target="_blank">Google Drive</a> and <a href="http://www.google.com/enterprise/apps/business/products/sites/" target="_blank">Google Sites</a>.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC8zGj0lRdXxx3cTNExZSwHKzgQKwUAEz1PCA3lp3OqUoiIHHAX2hOiBcmaXPriA7FK450PC9a-LTovJ2WONrZTOGMyyEmHCvyJeP-NsTeWlU1XgG3vy_F6SegiVkHGhXmjwLH/s1600/Dick+Smith+-+black+on+white.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="50" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC8zGj0lRdXxx3cTNExZSwHKzgQKwUAEz1PCA3lp3OqUoiIHHAX2hOiBcmaXPriA7FK450PC9a-LTovJ2WONrZTOGMyyEmHCvyJeP-NsTeWlU1XgG3vy_F6SegiVkHGhXmjwLH/s1600/Dick+Smith+-+black+on+white.png" width="320" /></a></div> Our workforce is very mobile. Not only do we have a fleet of 23 Area Managers who spend their time between multiple stores, but our 3,000 in-store staff spend most of their time on the floor with customers. Our team depends on a steady stream of updates and materials throughout the week — from new product guides, promotional activities, upcoming launches through to employee safety processes — so it’s not only important that people see the updates meant for them, but that we’re able to track the critical messages for compliance.<br /> Before moving to <a href="http://www.google.com/enterprise/apps/business/" target="_blank">Google Apps</a>, it took up to 24 hours to get these messages out to everyone through a series of phone hook ups, faxes, emails and a document delivery system that polled nightly. This was especially challenging when dealing with issues like product callbacks or promotions, where it’s essential for the team to move fast in order to avoid potential problems and ensure that new offers are immediately available to customers. <br /> <br /> Now, with Google Drive and Google Sites, we’re able to provide thousands of employees with a bird's-eye view of important updates and key documents across the company. That way, if we need to get an urgent message out or a new employee needs access to a how-to guidebook, there’s just one place they need to look — and we can get everything listed or posted quickly and effectively. We create a master site with sections for each team, with links to Drive folders that house everything from planograms and promotion details to instructional guidebooks and tickets. Area Managers can then access both the site and the files from their tablets or phones on the go, and our sales staff can see updates from their own devices or the store computers. <br /> <br /> We’ve also built a new system with <a href="http://www.google.com/enterprise/apps/business/products/forms/" target="_blank">Forms</a> and <a href="http://www.google.com/enterprise/apps/business/products/sheets/" target="_blank">Sheets</a> to streamline operational communications. Instead of relying on complex email trails and lots of phone calls, employees now submit their sign-offs in a single Form. Responses are captured in a shared Sheet that the Operations team uses to track feedback and responses in real-time. <br /> <br /> Google Apps helped us think outside the square and create a unified and integrated communications platform that can be accessed instantly on any device. But more importantly, it ensures that our store teams have immediate access to the latest information, which in turn provides our customers with a better experience in store.</div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'>Labels:</span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/customer%20love' rel='tag'>customer love</a>, <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/Gone%20Google' rel='tag'>Gone Google</a>, <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/Google%20Drive%20for%20Work' rel='tag'>Google Drive for Work</a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='0' data-onclick='' data-post-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/08/dick-smith-masters-operational.html' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/08/dick-smith-masters-operational.html' style='color: #245dc1;'></span> </span> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='4812332460649717606' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/08/kfc-philippines-boosts-productivity-and.html' itemprop='url' title='KFC Philippines boosts productivity and collaboration with Google Drive and Apps'> KFC Philippines boosts productivity and collaboration with Google Drive and Apps </a></h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'><span class='caption'>Posted:</span> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'>Monday, August 18, 2014</span> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-wrapper'> <div class='g-plusone' data-href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/08/kfc-philippines-boosts-productivity-and.html' data-size='medium'></div> </span> <a class='twitter-share-button' data-lang='en' data-related='googleatwork' data-text='KFC Philippines boosts productivity and collaboration with Google Drive and Apps' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/08/kfc-philippines-boosts-productivity-and.html' data-via='googleatwork' href='https://twitter.com/share'>Tweet</a> <iframe allowTransparency='true' frameborder='0' scrolling='no' src='http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/08/kfc-philippines-boosts-productivity-and.html&layout=button_count&show_faces=false&width=77&action=like&colorscheme=light&height=20' style='border:none; overflow:hidden; width:77px; height:20px;'></iframe> <span class='linkedin-wrapper'> <script src='//platform.linkedin.com/in.js' type='text/javascript'>lang: en_US</script> <script data-counter='right' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/08/kfc-philippines-boosts-productivity-and.html' type='IN/Share'></script> </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Arvin Reyes, Chief Information Officer, KFC Philippines</span><br /> <br /> <i><b>Editor's note:</b> A few weeks ago, we <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/06/unlimit-your-business-with-google-drive.html" target="_blank">announced Google Drive for Work</a>, a new premium offering for businesses that includes unlimited storage, advanced audit reporting and new security controls.

Today’s guest blogger is Arvin Reyes, Chief Information Officer for <a href="http://www.kfc.com.ph/" target="_blank">KFC Philippines</a>, which operates 230 restaurants and six plants in that country.

With restaurants, plants, and offices across the country, fast and easy communication and information sharing are vital to our success. This means tools like file storage, email, calendaring, and document creation need to be user-friendly for employees and relatively trouble-free for our IT team. But until recently, our mix of email and document management software caused more problems than it solved – with server over-capacity and slow response time, they just slowed down our business growth.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgy3oqc7qXQZzLigUFGQHJnmGMLwaadQTREazGTPthqGtLhw-7BimcO9ikhO_lBtUTsu8fEA4RRpBxPYUVAJIGw3uKEzFH8QeCVJqW233KivpH4-H4eOQ5_iWWaaBcGRmUnaeLE/s1600/COLN_4C_125X1_KFC.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="343" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgy3oqc7qXQZzLigUFGQHJnmGMLwaadQTREazGTPthqGtLhw-7BimcO9ikhO_lBtUTsu8fEA4RRpBxPYUVAJIGw3uKEzFH8QeCVJqW233KivpH4-H4eOQ5_iWWaaBcGRmUnaeLE/s1600/COLN_4C_125X1_KFC.jpg" width="400" /></a></div> We decided that a single communications platform with everything from storage to email to document creation was the necessary solution, and <a href="http://www.google.com/enterprise/apps/business/" target="_blank">Google Apps</a> was our answer. Not only did Apps meet all our requirements for cost-effectiveness, reliability and ease-of-use, but in <a href="http://www.google.com/enterprise/apps/business/products/drive/" target="_blank">Drive</a> we saw a way to help our increasingly mobile workforce, which needs access to documents while out of the office.<br /> <br /> We’ve boosted our productivity on creative work by 15% by switching from snail mail to Google Drive. Before we made the move, we sent creative materials back and forth between our home office and our advertising agency through messengers and the postal service, racking up costs and taking time away from other tasks. Now, with Drive, we can share large files like high-resolution images and merchandise artwork through the cloud, so material gets to our agency (and back to us) faster and at a significantly lower cost. And with a single location to store everything we’re working on, we’ve dramatically improved our ability to collaborate on projects. <br /> <br /> Gmail makes us better at communicating: Now that everyone has 30GB of mail storage available, they don’t need to waste time constantly cleaning out their inboxes to make room for new emails, or asking colleagues to re-send emails because they can’t find them. Our IT team loves Gmail because complaints about email services have decreased to zero since we began using it – in fact, IT’s support work for communication tools has gone down by 25% since we started using Google Apps. That gives our team more time to focus on activities that are more directly tied to the bottom line.<br /> <br /> Google Apps makes everyday problems like scheduling meetings disappear. Our old decision making process used to require the scheduling of several meetings and calls, with various reports and documents emailed back and forth among different teams. Now we schedule meetings on Google Calendar, where we can see everyone’s availability. For these meetings, we use a single shared document in Google Docs that serves as a running update on progress. This new workflow fundamentally changed the way we work with one another. What used to take days to decide is now possible within hours. <br /> <br /> Google Apps not only makes it easy for us to manage storage and bandwidth, it keeps our employees happy. After six months on the platform, 95% of people told us they’re satisfied with Google Apps, which means they can enjoy their work of serving and helping our customers.</div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'>Labels:</span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/customer%20love' rel='tag'>customer love</a>, <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/Gone%20Google' rel='tag'>Gone Google</a>, <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/Google%20Apps' rel='tag'>Google Apps</a>, <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/Google%20Drive%20for%20Work' rel='tag'>Google Drive for Work</a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='0' data-onclick='' data-post-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/08/kfc-philippines-boosts-productivity-and.html' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/08/kfc-philippines-boosts-productivity-and.html' style='color: #245dc1;'></span> </span> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='2123773128163339599' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/08/thrillist-bridges-lifestyle-brands-with.html' itemprop='url' title='Thrillist bridges lifestyle brands with Google Apps'> Thrillist bridges lifestyle brands with Google Apps </a></h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'><span class='caption'>Posted:</span> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'>Monday, August 11, 2014</span> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-wrapper'> <div class='g-plusone' data-href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/08/thrillist-bridges-lifestyle-brands-with.html' data-size='medium'></div> </span> <a class='twitter-share-button' data-lang='en' data-related='googleatwork' data-text='Thrillist bridges lifestyle brands with Google Apps' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/08/thrillist-bridges-lifestyle-brands-with.html' data-via='googleatwork' href='https://twitter.com/share'>Tweet</a> <iframe allowTransparency='true' frameborder='0' scrolling='no' src='http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/08/thrillist-bridges-lifestyle-brands-with.html&layout=button_count&show_faces=false&width=77&action=like&colorscheme=light&height=20' style='border:none; overflow:hidden; width:77px; height:20px;'></iframe> <span class='linkedin-wrapper'> <script src='//platform.linkedin.com/in.js' type='text/javascript'>lang: en_US</script> <script data-counter='right' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/08/thrillist-bridges-lifestyle-brands-with.html' type='IN/Share'></script> </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Ben Darr, Development Manager, Thrillist Media Group</span><br /> <br /> <i><b>Editor's note:</b> Whether it’s taking a meeting over Hangouts from the airport before escaping to a much-deserved vacation or sending work emails from an air-conditioned neighborhood cafe, <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/celebrating-spirit-of-summer.html" target="_blank">technology should help you get your work done faster</a> so you can enjoy the summer months. To celebrate the season of sun, we’re sharing stories from customers who know all about the importance of technology when fostering a culture of mobility and flexibility. Today, we hear from Ben Darr, Product Development Manager at <a href="http://www.thrillistmediagroup.com/" target="_blank">Thrillist Media Group</a>, a digital media company based in New York that is responsible for men’s lifestyle brand Thrillist.com and popular online retailer JackThreads.</i> <br /> <br /> In the last four years, Thrillist Media Group (TMG) has gone from a small newsletter in a one-room office to a multi-propertied media group with more than 300 employees. We now operate within the realms of content, commerce, private label clothing, events, sales and proprietary tech platforms. We’ve worked hard to tie these unique industries together — a feat that requires high levels of communication between our offices in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Columbus, Ohio. Thrillist’s collaboration between employees would not be possible without Google Apps.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtRcL_AqfB2jRffQTZHBC8MXEvpiHaHAMJBqJpu_Hm-PxpmKGTIQbQjc3AoIk-M3qZU3ol52WnKs46kXMdcsIAAuEo-uq1Ock9nTKms-ay8ySZFblgMQwI2OQThgvBcer6Gss5/s1600/ben_darr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtRcL_AqfB2jRffQTZHBC8MXEvpiHaHAMJBqJpu_Hm-PxpmKGTIQbQjc3AoIk-M3qZU3ol52WnKs46kXMdcsIAAuEo-uq1Ock9nTKms-ay8ySZFblgMQwI2OQThgvBcer6Gss5/s1600/ben_darr.jpg" width="213" /></a></div> Thrillist’s employees are completely plugged into the Google ecosystem and the tools we need are mere clicks away and always available. What really sets the Google platform apart is the seamless integration and intuitive user experience. If you’ve ever used Gchat in the last few years, you know how to use Hangouts. If you can write an email, it’s a tiny skip to using a Google Doc. Being able to quickly switch between Apps without having to log in or learn how to use a new tool caters to our fast-pace environment and centralizes nearly all of our day-to-day files and communication. <br /> <br /> Whether someone has a quick question or needs to express a more complex idea via Hangout or email, Google Apps is there to give our team what we need to finalize the designs and copy with the client. After approvals, we upload all files to Drive, which makes it easy for multiple departments across the company to refer to them throughout the campaign. On the product side, our quality assurance team can then cross reference final design specs to custom-built sales and make note of any issues or differences in Google Sheets. When the campaign is live, I review how the entire process was executed and use our product page on the Thrillist Google Site to recount best practices and we took away from the campaign.<br /> <br /> Take, for example, this real-life scenario from a recent campaign: A client halfway across the country sponsored a custom sale on Jackthreads driving content on Thrillist and Supercompressor, two of our e-commerce properties. To start the process, our sales and design team held a kick-off meeting with the client via Google Hangouts to understand their vision and goals for the campaign. Throughout the meeting, everyone recorded ideas, guidelines and project timelines on one Google Doc. When the meeting ended, I shared the Doc with all the different TMG departments involved — other product members, photographers at our warehouse in Brooklyn, tech leads overseeing the build, sales reps communicating with the client and that lucky colleague on vacation at the beach.<br /> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjshEOITOWH1CcVFWrvu8KLqCjyHNjq_u6v1_7FpqxMofoOhPMHlswAEMEg-QWaHMzUDFxmFsfkoBzDzvNubtycxJWrp_JpDAtQhTunUMOn-5Yv0PA6O1tVeT8WhAUAjPNBoqtB/s1600/TMG+Team+Photo+(2).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjshEOITOWH1CcVFWrvu8KLqCjyHNjq_u6v1_7FpqxMofoOhPMHlswAEMEg-QWaHMzUDFxmFsfkoBzDzvNubtycxJWrp_JpDAtQhTunUMOn-5Yv0PA6O1tVeT8WhAUAjPNBoqtB/s1600/TMG+Team+Photo+(2).jpg" style="cursor: move;" width="640" /></a>As a relatively small company, our projects are largely collaborative and everyone is juggling a large workload — and the specific example above is just a single piece in the complex TMG puzzle.

To celebrate the season of sun, we’re sharing stories from customers who know all about the importance of technology when fostering a culture of mobility and flexibility. Today’s guest blogger is Amanda Bensol, Vice President of Marketing and Sales at <a href="https://yourkarma.com/" target="_blank">Karma</a>, a New York-based startup building a sleek, portable pay-what-you-use WiFi hotspot. </i> <br /> <br /> Karma empowers people to work wherever they want with an elegantly designed personal portable hotspot. Our team spent years paying exorbitant hotspot data costs while traveling around the world and knew there had to be a better and cheaper way to get online at the many airports, hotels, cafes and trains that didn’t have public Internet access. We set out to solve the problem ourselves with an affordable mobile WiFi hotspot that allows people to work wherever, whenever they want. Karma isn’t just a hotspot — it’s a movement that lets people take back the power to use their data and technology how they want.<br /> <br /> In order to introduce new ways of working, we hold monthly Karma Outdoors gatherings and invite people to come join us in working outside this summer. Like most people, we enjoy being able to work on our own terms. That’s why <a href="http://www.google.com/enterprise/apps/business/" target="_blank">Google Apps</a> has been part of our journey from the start. It’s not a stretch to say that <a href="http://www.google.com/enterprise/apps/business/products/hangouts/" target="_blank">Google Hangouts</a> practically built Karma. After the company was started, visa issues caused the founders to return to Amsterdam, leaving me essentially in charge of U.S. operations. Hangouts was a lifeline that allowed us to build and grow the company, even though we were separated by an ocean. <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK5LSzNrhhoirtdlH2vpeblPeutPyMm35EgqMA400fBOgdjhCdXxxt-gAqbdpDv2XJAZDLqLPyxPbT0P4EVh0xp-RZBKqMYMib7KIie1JJToByZ2GYnPjvP4JwTgSjWaXiJsZ0/s1600/DSC_0231.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="440" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK5LSzNrhhoirtdlH2vpeblPeutPyMm35EgqMA400fBOgdjhCdXxxt-gAqbdpDv2XJAZDLqLPyxPbT0P4EVh0xp-RZBKqMYMib7KIie1JJToByZ2GYnPjvP4JwTgSjWaXiJsZ0/s1600/DSC_0231.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> In addition to Hangouts, <a href="http://www.google.com/enterprise/apps/business/products/docs/" target="_blank">Google Docs</a> is essential to our business and our preferred way to innovate because it offers a better creative workflow than any other product. Our founders in Amsterdam exchange a lot of ideas with the company’s designers in New York as we prepare for our next-generation release of sleeker Karma models. Google Docs makes it possible for us to easily keep track of our design ideas. Docs is the place we quickly paste media to preserve of our thoughts on the fly. We refine ideas together by exchanging comments within our documents. I write down specific product specs in Docs, knowing our concepts are logged and stored for our design team to access from anywhere.<br /> <br /> We’re only at the beginning of our journey to liberate people in their quest for mobile connectivity, and we’ve got a lot more in store for our products and company. We’re confident in our ability to achieve our goals and truly make an impact using Google Apps, which allows for mobility and flexibility in communications and productivity — values that align with our mission, too. Between Karma and Google Apps, together we’ll get people out from the confinement of cubicles and into the sun. <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfoI3Fd-PRN4sMLf5ttpQHSnJ7Ghc5Bkm082wmzcmMI33kyM1VSi8VU3QeYOEjYZeYNCdgGtmRYT6c9n4PsUILqa_D5Un5mAHA3psXTB9ERkUub0Fa0xjzS6RhzWwOSh6q4gd4/s1600/photo+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfoI3Fd-PRN4sMLf5ttpQHSnJ7Ghc5Bkm082wmzcmMI33kyM1VSi8VU3QeYOEjYZeYNCdgGtmRYT6c9n4PsUILqa_D5Un5mAHA3psXTB9ERkUub0Fa0xjzS6RhzWwOSh6q4gd4/s1600/photo+3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> <br /></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'>Labels:</span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/customer%20love' rel='tag'>customer love</a>, <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/Gone%20Google' rel='tag'>Gone Google</a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='0' data-onclick='' data-post-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/08/karma-offers-hotspot-data-power-to.html' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/08/karma-offers-hotspot-data-power-to.html' style='color: #245dc1;'></span> </span> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='1043897599207131350' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/08/the-climate-corporation-shrinks.html' itemprop='url' title='The Climate Corporation shrinks distance between offices using Chromebox for meetings'> The Climate Corporation shrinks distance between offices using Chromebox for meetings </a></h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'><span class='caption'>Posted:</span> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'>Thursday, August 7, 2014</span> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-wrapper'> <div class='g-plusone' data-href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/08/the-climate-corporation-shrinks.html' data-size='medium'></div> </span> <a class='twitter-share-button' data-lang='en' data-related='googleatwork' data-text='The Climate Corporation shrinks distance between offices using Chromebox for meetings' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/08/the-climate-corporation-shrinks.html' data-via='googleatwork' href='https://twitter.com/share'>Tweet</a> <iframe allowTransparency='true' frameborder='0' scrolling='no' src='http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/08/the-climate-corporation-shrinks.html&layout=button_count&show_faces=false&width=77&action=like&colorscheme=light&height=20' style='border:none; overflow:hidden; width:77px; height:20px;'></iframe> <span class='linkedin-wrapper'> <script src='//platform.linkedin.com/in.js' type='text/javascript'>lang: en_US</script> <script data-counter='right' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/08/the-climate-corporation-shrinks.html' type='IN/Share'></script> </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Anthony Osborne, Vice President of Marketing for The Climate Corporation</span> <br /> <br /> <i><b>Editor's note: </b>Today’s guest blogger is Anthony Osborne, Vice President of Marketing for <a href="http://climate.com/" target="_blank">The Climate Corporation</a>, which brings the power of data and technology to the agriculture industry with the ultimate mission of combating climate change.

We believe that innovation plays a vital role in their mission; we also apply this belief to improve the way our employees work.<br /> <br /> Oftentimes, a culture of perpetual innovation means our days are filled back to back with meetings. With offices in San Francisco, Seattle, St. Louis, and Kansas City, coordinating meetings and catch-ups across time zones can pose a number of challenges. The San Francisco team typically gets to work at 9am but stays late; in St. Louis, we’re at work by 7am and out by 6pm. Until recently, most people worked late at the office and often missed out on quality time at home. We flew between our offices for meetings, which cost time and money. And when we weren’t traveling, we held meetings over the phone, which were typically less engaging and productive. We considered high-end video conferencing solutions, but the cost (over $70,000) limited how many conference rooms we could equip. <br /> <br /> Then we discovered Chromebox for meetings. At a $999 starting price, we can afford to place Chromeboxes in conference rooms across all of our offices and bring our spread-out teams together throughout the day without the travel costs or conference call grievances. Now, it’s almost like our colleagues in San Francisco are in the same room with us in St. Louis. Our IT team loved the easy setup – all they had to do was plug in the display and complete the setup wizard. And our employees love the speed and simplicity of meetings.<br /> <br /> Not only are Chromeboxes in our conference rooms, but some of us have them at home, too. In my case, I can spend some time with my kids, then jump onto a face-to-face meeting for a half-hour if I need to, all without being forced to stay in the office. <br /> <br /> Today, 80% of our meetings are now held on Hangouts using Chromebox for meetings. Coupling our new way of collaboration with Google Apps—which we’ve already been using for work, in and out of the office—I’m amazed at how technology transforms our work day. Now that we’re collaborating more efficiently, we can do a much better job of creating products that help our customers monitor the impact of climate on their businesses.</div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'>Labels:</span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/Chromebox%20for%20meetings' rel='tag'>Chromebox for meetings</a>, <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/customer%20love' rel='tag'>customer love</a>, <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/Gone%20Google' rel='tag'>Gone Google</a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='0' data-onclick='' data-post-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/08/the-climate-corporation-shrinks.html' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/08/the-climate-corporation-shrinks.html' style='color: #245dc1;'></span> </span> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='4791944325868686497' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/08/washington-and-lee-university-speeds-up.html' itemprop='url' title='Washington and Lee University speeds up campus alerts with Chromebox for signage'> Washington and Lee University speeds up campus alerts with Chromebox for signage </a></h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'><span class='caption'>Posted:</span> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'>Wednesday, August 6, 2014</span> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-wrapper'> <div class='g-plusone' data-href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/08/washington-and-lee-university-speeds-up.html' data-size='medium'></div> </span> <a class='twitter-share-button' data-lang='en' data-related='googleatwork' data-text='Washington and Lee University speeds up campus alerts with Chromebox for signage' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/08/washington-and-lee-university-speeds-up.html' data-via='googleatwork' href='https://twitter.com/share'>Tweet</a> <iframe allowTransparency='true' frameborder='0' scrolling='no' src='http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/08/washington-and-lee-university-speeds-up.html&layout=button_count&show_faces=false&width=77&action=like&colorscheme=light&height=20' style='border:none; overflow:hidden; width:77px; height:20px;'></iframe> <span class='linkedin-wrapper'> <script src='//platform.linkedin.com/in.js' type='text/javascript'>lang: en_US</script> <script data-counter='right' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/08/washington-and-lee-university-speeds-up.html' type='IN/Share'></script> </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Alicia Shires, Classroom Technology Specialist, Washington and Lee University</span> <br /> <br /> <i><b>Editor's note:</b> Today’s guest blogger is Alicia Shires, Classroom Technology Specialist at <a href="http://www.wlu.edu/" target="_blank">Washington and Lee University</a> in Lexington, Virginia.</i> <br /> <i><br /></i> At Washington and Lee University, we pride ourselves on our clear communications to everyone on campus—and if we have to cancel or change classes or events, we want everyone to find out as soon as possible. Our 13 digital signage screens, positioned in key places across campus like the Commons building and several dorms, alert staff and students to the events at the University, along with updates on our sports teams and local weather. When we installed <a href="http://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/business/devices/chromebooks.html#asus-chromebox?utm_source=0714Washington&utm_medium=blog" target="_blank">Google Chromeboxes</a> to replace the crash-prone Windows machines running the screens, it became much easier to bring news to the campus while it’s fresh.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWBQU63JPwOfc7Ya-9hQ2ebr-6sjk_pORFcEhl7T4gqTdTii6YACVi9c78bNkqfrMFylVeqxU3OPWXW02b2ffvf2HMWL6UPMWtInSRA4B8DGx9gl555ypIe4UcmOfU3xawDOQR/s1600/300-dpi-symbol.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="145" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWBQU63JPwOfc7Ya-9hQ2ebr-6sjk_pORFcEhl7T4gqTdTii6YACVi9c78bNkqfrMFylVeqxU3OPWXW02b2ffvf2HMWL6UPMWtInSRA4B8DGx9gl555ypIe4UcmOfU3xawDOQR/s1600/300-dpi-symbol.jpg" width="200" /></a></div> The personal computers we were using to run display screens had several problems, with unreliability at the top of the list. They were slow to update, and would often crash, leaving the screens completely offline. That meant a delay in delivering information to students and staff until we could reboot the machines remotely. The machines were also slow. When we uploaded information to be displayed, it could take 30 minutes before viewers saw it.<br /> <br /> These delays could become a big deal if we wanted to deliver time-sensitive information to screens, like weather-related campus closings or emergency situations. Without fast notifications, students and professors could waste time traveling to classes or events that weren’t happening.We knew we needed better hardware to solve the problems of speed and instability. <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.risevision.com/" target="_blank">Rise Vision</a>, the developer of the free, open-source platform we use to create and manage our display content, suggested we replace the PCs with <a href="http://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/business/devices/features-management-console.html?utm_source=0714Washington&utm_medium=blog" target="_blank">managed Chromeboxes.</a> We discovered that because Chromeboxes run Chrome OS, they update automatically, so updates don’t interfere with the displays. We can operate Chromeboxes in <a href="https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/3134673?hl=en" target="_blank">Kiosk mode</a> so we can run the digital signage software at full-screen, which makes our displays look better. Management is largely hands off. I don’t have to touch the boxes and the reboots are fast and automatic. <br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3wIsq6xFI60h9YJaTDfvQ9n3P-JoVgPpWwVBbrs7knoO5SLeATUJ9WLVe04fcfLmkru11yVB5nmdMx71SuhXJFogt82RDqUVPKNBYjLHaY0vBKW3OZOSz8B7ssl0BLFdy8_FD/s1600/W&LGoogleBoxAliciaShiresFullSize-11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3wIsq6xFI60h9YJaTDfvQ9n3P-JoVgPpWwVBbrs7knoO5SLeATUJ9WLVe04fcfLmkru11yVB5nmdMx71SuhXJFogt82RDqUVPKNBYjLHaY0vBKW3OZOSz8B7ssl0BLFdy8_FD/s1600/W&LGoogleBoxAliciaShiresFullSize-11.jpg" width="400" /></a></div> Each Chromebox is several hundred dollars less than one of the PCs we were using before, so that’s a big plus for us. They’re extremely reliable and super-fast—when I upload new content from my office, it appears almost immediately on the campus display screens. It’s hard to believe I’m not working directly on the Chromeboxes themselves. They’re also powerful enough to run rich media like HD 1080P videos without choppy playback.<br /> <br /> Perhaps the best thing about using Chromeboxes for our screens is that we’ve finally been able to kick our emergency notification system into high gear. If we go through another difficult winter, we can quickly push out emergency notices about schools closings, weather delays, and event cancellations. Operating our screens with fast, reliable Chromeboxes is helping us keep everyone on campus not just well-informed, but safe and sound.</div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'>Labels:</span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/chromebox' rel='tag'>chromebox</a>, <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/Chromebox%20for%20signage' rel='tag'>Chromebox for signage</a>, <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/customer%20love' rel='tag'>customer love</a>, <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/Gone%20Google' rel='tag'>Gone Google</a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='0' data-onclick='' data-post-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/08/washington-and-lee-university-speeds-up.html' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/08/washington-and-lee-university-speeds-up.html' style='color: #245dc1;'></span> </span> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='5316595930598420426' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/travis-perkins-plc-builds-powerful.html' itemprop='url' title='Travis Perkins plc builds a powerful project system with Google Drive'> Travis Perkins plc builds a powerful project system with Google Drive </a></h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'><span class='caption'>Posted:</span> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'>Thursday, July 31, 2014</span> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-wrapper'> <div class='g-plusone' data-href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/travis-perkins-plc-builds-powerful.html' data-size='medium'></div> </span> <a class='twitter-share-button' data-lang='en' data-related='googleatwork' data-text='Travis Perkins plc builds a powerful project system with Google Drive' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/travis-perkins-plc-builds-powerful.html' data-via='googleatwork' href='https://twitter.com/share'>Tweet</a> <iframe allowTransparency='true' frameborder='0' scrolling='no' src='http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/travis-perkins-plc-builds-powerful.html&layout=button_count&show_faces=false&width=77&action=like&colorscheme=light&height=20' style='border:none; overflow:hidden; width:77px; height:20px;'></iframe> <span class='linkedin-wrapper'> <script src='//platform.linkedin.com/in.js' type='text/javascript'>lang: en_US</script> <script data-counter='right' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/travis-perkins-plc-builds-powerful.html' type='IN/Share'></script> </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Jon Spruce, Google Programme Leader, Travis Perkins plc</span> <br /> <br /> <i><b>Editor's note:</b> A few weeks ago, we announced <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/06/unlimit-your-business-with-google-drive.html">Google Drive for Work</a>, a new premium offering for businesses that includes unlimited storage, advanced audit reporting and new security controls.

Creating quotes for a variety of different jobs and tasks, then making sure the materials get where they need to be, requires serious coordination. We chose Google Apps to enable collaboration across our 2,000 locations, 24,000 people and 17 different businesses. And since making the switch, Google Drive in particular has played a significant role in making our company operate smoothly and efficiently: we use Google Drive to store and share more than 1.3 million documents, which has reduced travel, email traffic and the time taken to get things done.<br /> <br /> Before Google Drive, the process of creating quotes was disjointed and confusing. We’ve made a series of acquisitions over the last 30 years, and with each one, also acquired a new technology and system, which left us with a mismatched set of storage and document creation products. People created their own ‘kingdoms’ of data, and expected they’d be able to share information – with very limited success. With Google Drive, we can deliver quotes to customers at a steady pace, while making sure that employees across the Travis Perkins Group can provide and access the most up-to-date information at any time. <br /> <br /> Drive has also taken the sluggishness out of the quote pipeline. In one of our businesses, BSS Industrial, we start by creating a document about the project at the customer’s local branch, then create a shared folder, and add in blueprints, estimates, and photos – anything the rest of the team needs to build and fulfill the quote. <br /> <br /> As employees locate and price supplies or visit the building site to take precise measurements, everyone can update the same files. We no longer worry about which email or spreadsheet is correct, since we all work together on the same project quotes. Drive gives us an accurate, up-to-date picture of our progress at any given moment.</div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'>Labels:</span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/customer%20love' rel='tag'>customer love</a>, <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/Gone%20Google' rel='tag'>Gone Google</a>, <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/Google%20Apps%20for%20Business' rel='tag'>Google Apps for Business</a>, <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/google%20drive' rel='tag'>google drive</a>, <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/Google%20Drive%20for%20Work' rel='tag'>Google Drive for Work</a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='0' data-onclick='' data-post-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/travis-perkins-plc-builds-powerful.html' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/travis-perkins-plc-builds-powerful.html' style='color: #245dc1;'></span> </span> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='6760983068815055174' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/going-from-xero-to-100-with-help-from.html' itemprop='url' title='Going from Xero to 100 with help from Google Apps and Drive'> Going from Xero to 100 with help from Google Apps and Drive </a></h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'><span class='caption'>Posted:</span> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'>Tuesday, July 29, 2014</span> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-wrapper'> <div class='g-plusone' data-href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/going-from-xero-to-100-with-help-from.html' data-size='medium'></div> </span> <a class='twitter-share-button' data-lang='en' data-related='googleatwork' data-text='Going from Xero to 100 with help from Google Apps and Drive' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/going-from-xero-to-100-with-help-from.html' data-via='googleatwork' href='https://twitter.com/share'>Tweet</a> <iframe allowTransparency='true' frameborder='0' scrolling='no' src='http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/going-from-xero-to-100-with-help-from.html&layout=button_count&show_faces=false&width=77&action=like&colorscheme=light&height=20' style='border:none; overflow:hidden; width:77px; height:20px;'></iframe> <span class='linkedin-wrapper'> <script src='//platform.linkedin.com/in.js' type='text/javascript'>lang: en_US</script> <script data-counter='right' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/going-from-xero-to-100-with-help-from.html' type='IN/Share'></script> </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Chris Ridd, Managing Director, Xero </span> <br /> <br /> <i><b>Editor's note:</b> </i><i>A few weeks ago, we announced <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/06/unlimit-your-business-with-google-drive.html" target="_blank">Google Drive for Work</a>, a new premium offering for businesses that includes unlimited storage, advanced audit reporting and new security controls. To celebrate the announcement and show how Drive helps businesses around the world, we’re sharing a few stories from a handful of customers using Drive (and the rest of the Google Apps suite) in innovative ways. </i><i>Today’s guest blogger is Chris Ridd, Managing Director for <a href="http://www.xero.com/" target="_blank">Xero</a> in Australia. Xero is a cloud-based accounting software company with 300,000 customers worldwide and over 800 employees across offices in the U.S., UK, Australia and New Zealand. </i><br /> <br /> At Xero, our core business is making beautiful, intuitive cloud based accounting software that helps small business owners spend more time doing what they do best, and less time worrying about keeping their books in order. Xero started life as a small four person operation in New Zealand. Eight years later, we’ve grown to 300,000 customers worldwide and 800 employees across 17 offices in the U.S., UK, Australia and New Zealand. <br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJLLqHBqRhUzLpWq8ck_S2UEjd1pv9t_fwQaWPdAAGPCErtNALBxtxtDLV7f25j0YZ7rkxy8A5nFOqU4v8GSC4LSKN-kwe3sfUZYTxWlJQMGycMUscCgCYpxBUYTgnPfYVim-l/s1600/Xero+Logo+Hi_Rez.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJLLqHBqRhUzLpWq8ck_S2UEjd1pv9t_fwQaWPdAAGPCErtNALBxtxtDLV7f25j0YZ7rkxy8A5nFOqU4v8GSC4LSKN-kwe3sfUZYTxWlJQMGycMUscCgCYpxBUYTgnPfYVim-l/s1600/Xero+Logo+Hi_Rez.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> This rapid growth was great, but it came with challenges, like finding the right people and new premises. One of the biggest challenges was coordination. With hundreds of employees dotted around different parts of the world, it soon became apparent that we needed to improve how we documented information, shared content and communicated. <br /> <br /> I have to admit, it was ironic that although our core product is cloud-based, we weren't actually using this same technology to its full extent within our own business. Instead, teams used a combination of cloud software and legacy desktop software that required continual expensive upgrades. With a highly mobile team based all over the globe, we needed a communications platform that would scale with us, make it easy to collaborate from anywhere, and help us maintain our fluid and mobile way of doing business. <br /> <br /> To that end, in December last year we decided to change to <a href="http://www.google.com/enterprise/apps/business/" target="_blank">Google Apps</a>, and I’m pleased to say this has led to huge boosts in productivity and openness. Tasks that used to be time consuming – like emailing a document around for edits – now take just hours. Teams can also now jump into a document from <a href="http://www.google.com/enterprise/apps/business/products/drive/" target="_blank">Google Drive</a> and collaborate on product release notes, spreadsheets, blog posts, and dozens of other documents with people around the world in real time. <br /> <br /> Whether we conduct meetings in break-out areas or our in-house cafe, open laptops are ever-present, with Xero employees writing minutes in real-time so that everyone has their action items as soon as they walk out the door. Having 99% of our documents saved in Drive gives us a central place where people can find and store everything — and that means no more lost files, confusion over multiple versions, or duplication of work. <br /> <br /> Moving to the cloud has made international coordination so much easier. <a href="http://www.google.com/enterprise/apps/business/products/hangouts/" target="_blank">Hangouts</a> bring far flung teammates face to face, and during these video meetings people will often work together on the same document right from within he Hangouts window. Being able to work from anywhere — the office, home, the airport or the back of a taxi — has made everyone feel much freer because they can work wherever they want, on any device without worrying about losing documents.<br /> <br /> Although it’s difficult to quantify how much money we’ll save with Google Apps, I’ve seen a lot less hardware around the office. In fact, we no longer need to spend money and time updating and maintaining servers. Productivity gains have been impressive, too. <br /> <br /> By embracing the cloud-technology our customers use every day, we’ve been able to vastly improve the way Xero employees across our offices communicate, collaborate and share ideas. ‘Anywhere, anytime on any device’ is a key benefit we promote to customers, and it’s great to see we can now embrace that every day within Xero. </div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'>Labels:</span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/customer%20love' rel='tag'>customer love</a>, <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/Gone%20Google' rel='tag'>Gone Google</a>, <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/Google%20Drive%20for%20Work' rel='tag'>Google Drive for Work</a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='0' data-onclick='' data-post-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/going-from-xero-to-100-with-help-from.html' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/going-from-xero-to-100-with-help-from.html' style='color: #245dc1;'></span> </span> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='1187317634257264223' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/better-business-bureau-serving-eastern.html' itemprop='url' title='Better Business Bureau serving Eastern MA, ME, RI & VT improves productivity with Chromebooks and Chromeboxes '> Better Business Bureau serving Eastern MA, ME, RI & VT improves productivity with Chromebooks and Chromeboxes </a></h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'><span class='caption'>Posted:</span> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'>Monday, July 28, 2014</span> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-wrapper'> <div class='g-plusone' data-href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/better-business-bureau-serving-eastern.html' data-size='medium'></div> </span> <a class='twitter-share-button' data-lang='en' data-related='googleatwork' data-text='Better Business Bureau serving Eastern MA, ME, RI & VT improves productivity with Chromebooks and Chromeboxes ' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/better-business-bureau-serving-eastern.html' data-via='googleatwork' href='https://twitter.com/share'>Tweet</a> <iframe allowTransparency='true' frameborder='0' scrolling='no' src='http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/better-business-bureau-serving-eastern.html&layout=button_count&show_faces=false&width=77&action=like&colorscheme=light&height=20' style='border:none; overflow:hidden; width:77px; height:20px;'></iframe> <span class='linkedin-wrapper'> <script src='//platform.linkedin.com/in.js' type='text/javascript'>lang: en_US</script> <script data-counter='right' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/better-business-bureau-serving-eastern.html' type='IN/Share'></script> </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Lisa Ventura, Vice President of Accounting and Administration, Better Business Bureau</span> <br /> <br /> <i><b>Editor's note:</b> Today’s guest blogger is Lisa Ventura, Vice President of Accounting and Administration for the <a href="http://www.bbb.org/boston/" target="_blank">Better Business Bureau</a> serving Eastern Massachusetts, Maine, Rhode Island, and Vermont, a non-profit organization that services businesses and consumers in the community.</i> <br /> <br /> The Better Business Bureau (BBB) has a real mix of in office and telecommuting staff. As a busy non-profit, technology is forefront of our organization and, like a lot of Better Business Bureau offices around the country, we don’t have an IT department, which adds to the challenge of keeping information both secure and accessible. If someone needs tech help, I put on my IT hat (as does Kevin J. Sanders, our CEO), and configure new computers or update software. Juggling the IT responsibilities can be difficult during busier times of the year.<br /> <br /> That is until we decided to bring 35 <a href="https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/business/devices/" target="_blank">Google Chromebooks and Chromeboxes for Business</a> at the BBB. Almost overnight, we reduced the time we spent handling IT tasks like software updates and patches, and worrying about security concerns. We’ve already seen firsthand how Google can help our business <span style="background-color: white; color: #545454; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">—</span> we were early adopters among BBB offices of Google Apps for Business (about 30% of BBBs nationwide now use Google Apps), and we love collaborating on documents and managing our emails, which Google Apps has made so simple. <br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6lLuGIX09lvYkVB66mEQ8SfRANDe6AC4o3-ccBij3PUzIt0ZtijjRNhs0QiHri_A0a-DTgICE8NcNaJhwsr63S1c1ouvNz5JRs8Vv7EmTvyUq7YifCbTXEeQPSg7RuIVXMmpd/s1600/IMG_0268.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6lLuGIX09lvYkVB66mEQ8SfRANDe6AC4o3-ccBij3PUzIt0ZtijjRNhs0QiHri_A0a-DTgICE8NcNaJhwsr63S1c1ouvNz5JRs8Vv7EmTvyUq7YifCbTXEeQPSg7RuIVXMmpd/s1600/IMG_0268.png" width="400" /></a></div> Chromebooks and Chromeboxes give us even more freedom and help us lock down the security of information. The devices run on the Chrome operating system and software is updated automatically on each device. <a href="https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/business/devices/features-different.html" target="_blank">Security</a> is built into the Chromebook in multiple layers, such as sandboxing and data encryption, so we can rest easy knowing that malware can’t get very far. Using the Chrome management console we can preload the apps that we want employees to use and restrict downloads to only those applications employees need for working with consumers and Accredited Businesses. Not only are we greatly reducing IT issues, we have saved roughly $900 per seat by purchasing Chromeboxes versus computers with added software. With a staff of approximately 50 people, that savings really adds up.<br /> <br /> Using Google Apps for Business eliminated the need for email and document servers, instantly saving BBB the cost of maintaining those devices. It became easier to share documents and track user changes, instead of emailing those documents back and forth as attachments. Plus, the ability to have Google Apps anywhere you are, allows our remote workers to always have information at their fingertips. Moving off our Windows-based desktops and laptops onto Chromebooks and Chromeboxes made perfect sense after seeing so much success from switching to Google Apps for Business. <br /> <br /> We’re in the process of expanding beyond our original order of 35 devices and switching out all of our desktops and laptops to Chromebooks and Chromeboxes – a huge benefit for our busy organization. In fact, we’ve become such experts at adopting Google technology that other BBB offices in North America are coming to us for advice on Google Apps and buying up Chromebooks and Chromeboxes for Business</div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'>Labels:</span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/chromebooks' rel='tag'>chromebooks</a>, <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/Chromebox%20for%20meetings' rel='tag'>Chromebox for meetings</a>, <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/customer%20love' rel='tag'>customer love</a>, <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/Gone%20Google' rel='tag'>Gone Google</a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='0' data-onclick='' data-post-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/better-business-bureau-serving-eastern.html' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/better-business-bureau-serving-eastern.html' style='color: #245dc1;'></span> </span> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='1367164188927847781' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/briggs-stratton-streamlines.html' itemprop='url' title='Briggs & Stratton streamlines manufacturing and business processes with Google Drive '> Briggs & Stratton streamlines manufacturing and business processes with Google Drive </a></h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'><span class='caption'>Posted:</span> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'>Thursday, July 24, 2014</span> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-wrapper'> <div class='g-plusone' data-href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/briggs-stratton-streamlines.html' data-size='medium'></div> </span> <a class='twitter-share-button' data-lang='en' data-related='googleatwork' data-text='Briggs & Stratton streamlines manufacturing and business processes with Google Drive ' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/briggs-stratton-streamlines.html' data-via='googleatwork' href='https://twitter.com/share'>Tweet</a> <iframe allowTransparency='true' frameborder='0' scrolling='no' src='http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/briggs-stratton-streamlines.html&layout=button_count&show_faces=false&width=77&action=like&colorscheme=light&height=20' style='border:none; overflow:hidden; width:77px; height:20px;'></iframe> <span class='linkedin-wrapper'> <script src='//platform.linkedin.com/in.js' type='text/javascript'>lang: en_US</script> <script data-counter='right' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/briggs-stratton-streamlines.html' type='IN/Share'></script> </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Brent Hoag, IT Director, Briggs & Stratton</span><br /> <br /> <i><b>Editor's note:</b> </i><i>A few weeks ago, we announced <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/06/unlimit-your-business-with-google-drive.html" target="_blank">Google Drive for Work</a>, a new premium offering for businesses that includes unlimited storage, advanced audit reporting and new security controls.

When I discovered that 15% of our network traffic was consumed by unsecured content storing and sharing and realized that poor communication was leading to inefficiencies, I pushed for a move to Google Apps. I knew that switching to Google’s platform would not only fix our communications problems, but help our 3,000 employees be both more innovative and more effective.<br /> <br /> That’s happening now, in a big way. In a manufacturing plant in Milwaukee, for example, one of our industrial engineers saw a way for Google Drive to replace an outdated, paper-based system to get critical information to production line workers. For decades, step-by-step instructions for assembling engine parts and quality-control checklists were all typed up and printed out for workers on five production lines. This wasn’t just a waste of paper — it often led to damaging errors when processes changed and employees were going about their jobs with inaccurate instructions and manuals. The proliferation of out-of-date information was just inefficient and potentially hazardous. To solve this problem, the engineering team created a page with Google Sites with Drive folders for each piece of manufacturing equipment, with photos, instructions for assembly, how-to videos for each of the steps and line schedules — all in a variety of file types, like JPGs, PDFs and Word docs. Workers can read instructions and learn exactly how to do the assembly using shared workstations on the plant floor.<br /> <br /> Drive doesn’t just help us on the shop floor — it’s equally essential for our sales team, who spend a lot of time on the road, meeting with dealers and partners. Reps used to have to spend an hour or two sifting through different Excel spreadsheets and Access databases to find the most up-to-date pricing and promotions data before heading out to customer meetings and jotting down notes or downloading information onto their laptops. We’re now storing the current pricing database and promotions spreadsheet in Drive, and since our Sales teams use Drive sync on their computers, the latest information is automatically synced from Drive to their laptops. They never have to wonder if they have the right prices when they’re talking to a customer. They can also use the Drive mobile app to access the same information on their mobile devices. This means more hours spent with customers and a happier sales team — two big wins for Briggs.<br /> <br /> Google is helping us streamline our manufacturing and business processes at a time when we have unprecedented product and corporate growth. And Todd’s strategy around breaking into the consumer market is making its mark: we’ve introduced 40 new models of lawn, garden and outdoor power equipment, won a handful of “Best of” awards and continue to see a growing percentage of our revenue come from these innovations. Google allows us to change our image inside and outside the company in a democratic and creative way, from the assembly line to the CEO’s office. </div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'>Labels:</span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/customer%20love' rel='tag'>customer love</a>, <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/Gone%20Google' rel='tag'>Gone Google</a>, <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/Google%20Apps' rel='tag'>Google Apps</a>, <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/google%20drive' rel='tag'>google drive</a>, <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/Google%20Drive%20for%20Work' rel='tag'>Google Drive for Work</a>, <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/success%20story' rel='tag'>success story</a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='0' data-onclick='' data-post-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/briggs-stratton-streamlines.html' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/briggs-stratton-streamlines.html' style='color: #245dc1;'></span> </span> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='5357974758799717446' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/tory-burch-ramps-up-retail-expansion-by.html' itemprop='url' title='Tory Burch ramps up retail expansion by sharing plans and project timelines with Google Drive'> Tory Burch ramps up retail expansion by sharing plans and project timelines with Google Drive </a></h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'><span class='caption'>Posted:</span> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'>Wednesday, July 23, 2014</span> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-wrapper'> <div class='g-plusone' data-href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/tory-burch-ramps-up-retail-expansion-by.html' data-size='medium'></div> </span> <a class='twitter-share-button' data-lang='en' data-related='googleatwork' data-text='Tory Burch ramps up retail expansion by sharing plans and project timelines with Google Drive' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/tory-burch-ramps-up-retail-expansion-by.html' data-via='googleatwork' href='https://twitter.com/share'>Tweet</a> <iframe allowTransparency='true' frameborder='0' scrolling='no' src='http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/tory-burch-ramps-up-retail-expansion-by.html&layout=button_count&show_faces=false&width=77&action=like&colorscheme=light&height=20' style='border:none; overflow:hidden; width:77px; height:20px;'></iframe> <span class='linkedin-wrapper'> <script src='//platform.linkedin.com/in.js' type='text/javascript'>lang: en_US</script> <script data-counter='right' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/tory-burch-ramps-up-retail-expansion-by.html' type='IN/Share'></script> </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Mike Giresi, CIO, Tory Burch</span> <br /> <br /> <i><b>Editor's note: </b>A few weeks ago, we announced <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/06/unlimit-your-business-with-google-drive.html" target="_blank">Google Drive for Work</a>, a new premium offering for businesses that includes unlimited storage, advanced audit reporting and new security controls. To celebrate the announcement and show how Drive helps businesses around the world, we’re sharing a few stories from a handful of customers using Drive (and the rest of the Google Apps suite) in innovative ways. Today’s guest blogger is Mike Giresi, CIO of Tory Burch, the lifestyle brand known for its iconic bright colors and eclectic prints, available at 120 boutiques around the world and online at Toryburch.com. To learn more about how Tory Burch’s move to the cloud helped them build a thriving retail business, <a href="http://lp.google-mkto.com/DisruptCentralLP.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=NA-LCS-2014-xIND-Retail_ToryBurch_Blog-Online&utm_content=Tory" target="_blank">join our Hangout on Air</a> with Mike and Google’s Head of Industry Solutions & Retail on Wednesday, August 6th.</i><br /> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYiPjowtkOU1PHEshyEL9SEEXuo_eeKM-Y2F_c5dnGV_lUXf6bPLyZAsA0hyphenhyphen3H5AYnHFcxDeXud7Fxs71NREJaem2vyv2n9UFHff1FBflj9TXRbt15kEeJvdvW70TEWlfC_MZ_/s1600/tory_burch_logo_transparent.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="190" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYiPjowtkOU1PHEshyEL9SEEXuo_eeKM-Y2F_c5dnGV_lUXf6bPLyZAsA0hyphenhyphen3H5AYnHFcxDeXud7Fxs71NREJaem2vyv2n9UFHff1FBflj9TXRbt15kEeJvdvW70TEWlfC_MZ_/s1600/tory_burch_logo_transparent.png" width="320" /></a><br /> Before opening a new Tory Burch store, we go through months of planning with as many as 200 people, with tasks ranging from hiring staff, importing custom fixtures, designing windows, and when we can, having Tory on hand to do the opening honors. Nearly all of the documentation around a store opening, like blueprints and project plans, are developed by teams, not just one person. <a href="http://www.google.com/enterprise/apps/business/products/drive/" target="_blank">Google Drive</a> helps these teams collaborate on documents and make decisions faster — now we can open three stores in a single weekend, something we couldn’t have done before we moved to Google.<br /> <br /> Every Tory Burch store needs to embody the brand, so the process requires careful coordination. The more accessible store information is, the easier it is to decide on next steps. But with our old IT system, emailing spreadsheets back and forth wasn’t enabling the speedy decision-making we need for a rapidly growing retail business. Teams couldn’t get their hands on the right information to push store development forward.<br /> <br /> Using Google Drive lets our store-opening teams and outside partners like architects and visual designers connect and collaborate seamlessly. For each Tory Burch store, team managers can create master folders without relying on IT, making it easy for them to store and share project timelines, floor plans, and merchandise lists. With Drive, we don't have to worry about version control, which was a struggle when we shared files over email — now, we know that what's stored and shared is the true, up-to-date document. <br /> <br /> Choosing Drive also means we won’t have to worry about storage for documents, especially as we expand the business. Purchasing our own servers and storage disks doesn’t make good business sense for us — why not simply rely on a company like Google that can scale storage much better than we can do ourselves?<br /> <br /> We’ve got the perfect combination of fashion’s most colorful and eclectic clothing and accessories, and Tory herself to embody the brand — so we’re confident that the world is ready for many more Tory Burch stores. Google Drive has become a catalyst for our exciting growth plans.</div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'>Labels:</span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/customer%20love' rel='tag'>customer love</a>, <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/Gone%20Google' rel='tag'>Gone Google</a>, <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/Google%20Apps' rel='tag'>Google Apps</a>, <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/Google%20Apps%20for%20Business' rel='tag'>Google Apps for Business</a>, <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/google%20drive' rel='tag'>google drive</a>, <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/Google%20Drive%20for%20Work' rel='tag'>Google Drive for Work</a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='0' data-onclick='' data-post-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/tory-burch-ramps-up-retail-expansion-by.html' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/tory-burch-ramps-up-retail-expansion-by.html' style='color: #245dc1;'></span> </span> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='7901581093324995909' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/working-on-go-gets-easier-with-google.html' itemprop='url' title='Working on the go gets easier with Google and Uber '> Working on the go gets easier with Google and Uber </a></h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'><span class='caption'>Posted:</span> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'>Tuesday, July 22, 2014</span> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-wrapper'> <div class='g-plusone' data-href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/working-on-go-gets-easier-with-google.html' data-size='medium'></div> </span> <a class='twitter-share-button' data-lang='en' data-related='googleatwork' data-text='Working on the go gets easier with Google and Uber ' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/working-on-go-gets-easier-with-google.html' data-via='googleatwork' href='https://twitter.com/share'>Tweet</a> <iframe allowTransparency='true' frameborder='0' scrolling='no' src='http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/working-on-go-gets-easier-with-google.html&layout=button_count&show_faces=false&width=77&action=like&colorscheme=light&height=20' style='border:none; overflow:hidden; width:77px; height:20px;'></iframe> <span class='linkedin-wrapper'> <script src='//platform.linkedin.com/in.js' type='text/javascript'>lang: en_US</script> <script data-counter='right' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/working-on-go-gets-easier-with-google.html' type='IN/Share'></script> </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Kelly Campbell, Director of Enterprise Marketing</span><br /> <br /> Work doesn’t just get done in the office: ideas are born and deals are closed from the patios of coffee shops, the benches of train stations and the backseats of taxi cabs. And in the summer, when the office is often the last place many of us want to be, it’s even more essential to get work done faster from anywhere — even on the way to where you’re going.<br /> <br /> At Google, we value mobility and want to find the best way for our customers to do their work when they’re on the go. That’s why we <a href="https://plus.google.com/+googleenterprise/posts/HCNYh11xEUA?e" target="_blank">invested</a> in new infrastructure in Boston to support free public Wifi at South Station last year. And it’s why we're now outfitting Uber partners' cars in Philadelphia with free Wifi for the summer, compliments of Google Apps for Business. Thousands of entrepreneurs, consultants, restaurateurs and business owners now have another way to help them get work done from anywhere throughout The City of Brotherly Love.<br /> <br /> Uber helps millions of people get around in over 41 countries globally, so they know a thing or two about working on the go. And like more than 5 million businesses around the world, they do it with the help of <a href="http://www.google.com/enterprise/apps/business/" target="_blank">Google Apps for Business</a>. Collaborative tools like <a href="http://www.google.com/enterprise/apps/business/products/docs/" target="_blank">Google Docs</a> and <a href="http://www.google.com/enterprise/apps/business/products/sheets/" target="_blank">Sheets</a> help employees brainstorm, evaluate and prioritize new markets and promotions, while video conferencing over <a href="http://www.google.com/enterprise/apps/business/products/hangouts/" target="_blank">Hangouts</a> keeps globally-distributed teams connected and close. It was using products like these that inspired Uber to offer this technology in Uber partners' cars in Philadelphia.<br /> <br /> So, Philadelphia, whether you’re on the way to Wawa, the Linc, the Shore, or the office, you now have one more place to get your work done quickly so you can spend more time enjoying the summer and less time looking at the walls of your cubicle. <a href="http://t.uber.com/UberWIFI" target="_blank">Read more details from Uber</a> then take uberWIFI for a spin.

To celebrate the announcement and show how Drive helps businesses around the world, we’re sharing a few stories from a handful of customers using Drive (and the rest of the Google Apps suite) in innovative ways. Today’s guest blogger is Marco Grieco, Business Innovation and Change Director at <a href="http://www.ovs.it/" target="_blank">OVS</a>, the leader in the Italian apparel market. Marco runs all major change initiatives throughout the company across supply chain, retail model and internationalization, and is currently leading the company in its move to Google Apps for Business.<br /> </i> <br /> <i><br /> </i> Merging Italian style with international trends requires a complex process of research, design and production. The 700-person, multi-national supply team at OVS produces 180 million pieces of apparel each year, 40,000 different styles, which are then sold online and in 700 brick-and-mortar stores in Italy and abroad. There are a handful of moving pieces, to say the least, but with Google Drive, we’re able to link together the otherwise disparate parts of our retail business and share information better across the company.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMTQzBkN_uxXbuiwjh9elRfX1CALQfcmriBzHc6q-qkOdV-MIJf6dyjsTS0UDSa-Igy9hY_udTsbywvBiDFRVKsoNbi5eYCycKwzZJc5hsW2SvktoPahYxIWuRNf9fZy_dfXkl/s1600/OVS+(Gruppo+Coin)+logo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="135" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMTQzBkN_uxXbuiwjh9elRfX1CALQfcmriBzHc6q-qkOdV-MIJf6dyjsTS0UDSa-Igy9hY_udTsbywvBiDFRVKsoNbi5eYCycKwzZJc5hsW2SvktoPahYxIWuRNf9fZy_dfXkl/s1600/OVS+(Gruppo+Coin)+logo.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <br /> Before Drive, our IT solution was old-fashioned and difficult to coordinate globally. Half of the team used one outdated IT tool, and the other half sent faxes (seriously) or exchanged e-mails: last year, our supply chain team sent five million emails. Two weeks after starting to use Drive, our email volume dropped by 40%. The transition was smooth and the benefits emerged quickly, since so many people were already familiar with Google and were excited to use it at work.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihHNt5lNAaW8ogHOp8wZXh9oW1v17D-6ldzsvMCpGhuSeHDUGPAOHtecXXxuJjUM5b1CPoleQbBwDSBmxB3XUsSf6CJF3NTP5-g8EBHA_UJujv5CgAGtjeAaB_8AgYN4cpvQiC/s1600/---+USE+THIS+ONE_T_L0890.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihHNt5lNAaW8ogHOp8wZXh9oW1v17D-6ldzsvMCpGhuSeHDUGPAOHtecXXxuJjUM5b1CPoleQbBwDSBmxB3XUsSf6CJF3NTP5-g8EBHA_UJujv5CgAGtjeAaB_8AgYN4cpvQiC/s1600/---+USE+THIS+ONE_T_L0890.JPG" width="266" /></a></div> We use Drive to store and share everything product-related both inside the company and externally with our suppliers. From information about models, fabrics and sizing, to prototype images and the results of product tests, everything lives in Drive. We share and sync these files across desktops, tablets and smartphones so people have the information they need, no matter where they are or what device they’re using. Information is always updated, avoiding potential mistakes that could cause delays in our supply chain processes.<br /> <br /> Drive is crucial for expediting our prototyping and testing process, which involves teams across the world. The prototyping team in China uses Drive to share sample image JPGs and testing kit PDFs with our team in Italy. The team in China can quickly share results and the team in Italy can request new tests if necessary — and they can all share their updates in a shared Google Sheet that’s stored and shared in the same shared folder with the rest of the assets they need, so everything — PDFs, JPGs, Sheets — can easily be found in a single place.<br /> <br /> Drive has showed us how we can work better together and improve communication overall throughout the business, while also breaking down barriers between teams otherwise separated by tens of thousands of miles. Now, we’re rolling Drive out to our retail stores and sales associates, some of whom already started using Drive to upload and share images from their mobile phones and tablets — anything from inspirational window designs to new fashions and innovative store layouts — all without official training. We see major potential to use Drive across our business and make life easier for our employees while continuing to innovate for our customers. <br /> <br /> <br /></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'>Labels:</span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/customer%20love' rel='tag'>customer love</a>, <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/Gone%20Google' rel='tag'>Gone Google</a>, <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/Google%20Drive%20for%20Work' rel='tag'>Google Drive for Work</a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='0' data-onclick='' data-post-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/posted-by-marco-grieco-business.html' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/posted-by-marco-grieco-business.html' style='color: #245dc1;'></span> </span> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='3445540182660801878' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/bridgeport-public-schools-chooses.html' itemprop='url' title='Bridgeport Public Schools chooses Google for Education to bring affordable technology to their students '> Bridgeport Public Schools chooses Google for Education to bring affordable technology to their students </a></h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'><span class='caption'>Posted:</span> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'>Friday, July 18, 2014</span> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-wrapper'> <div class='g-plusone' data-href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/bridgeport-public-schools-chooses.html' data-size='medium'></div> </span> <a class='twitter-share-button' data-lang='en' data-related='googleatwork' data-text='Bridgeport Public Schools chooses Google for Education to bring affordable technology to their students ' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/bridgeport-public-schools-chooses.html' data-via='googleatwork' href='https://twitter.com/share'>Tweet</a> <iframe allowTransparency='true' frameborder='0' scrolling='no' src='http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/bridgeport-public-schools-chooses.html&layout=button_count&show_faces=false&width=77&action=like&colorscheme=light&height=20' style='border:none; overflow:hidden; width:77px; height:20px;'></iframe> <span class='linkedin-wrapper'> <script src='//platform.linkedin.com/in.js' type='text/javascript'>lang: en_US</script> <script data-counter='right' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/bridgeport-public-schools-chooses.html' type='IN/Share'></script> </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <span class="byline-author">Posted by David Andrade, CIO, Bridgeport Public Schools</span><br /> <br /> <i><b>Editor's note:</b> Schools bought more than 1 million Chromebooks in the second quarter of 2014.

We only had a few desktop PCs located in each elementary and middle school classroom, and only a few in our high school computer labs. We definitely needed more machines so students would get more time to work on class projects and do research. <br /> <br /> Our district doesn’t have a lot of money for buying new technology, and grants can be hard to come by. Adding to our challenges, Bridgeport Public Schools are based in a working-class community with high unemployment (95% of students receive free or reduced lunches). Most students don't have access to computers outside of school and, at the time, there was a limited supply in our schools. <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqomR5BS9_n-ocFUyAjLa6_zYmGAExhuJBFGywYAHgNUItfyXQC-H0qkYjIe9TtVsTfejsgmuGvu3LvTkuo0KSlVFZ4FEv5yNB45q2c25hTQ7AbdtWzfdtxDTxxMnxsaHwQbJi/s1600/chromebooks+-+samsung-acer-hp.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="131" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqomR5BS9_n-ocFUyAjLa6_zYmGAExhuJBFGywYAHgNUItfyXQC-H0qkYjIe9TtVsTfejsgmuGvu3LvTkuo0KSlVFZ4FEv5yNB45q2c25hTQ7AbdtWzfdtxDTxxMnxsaHwQbJi/s1600/chromebooks+-+samsung-acer-hp.png" width="640" /></a></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Bridgeport uses a variety of Chromebook models including devices from Samsung, Acer and HP. </td></tr> </tbody></table> When the technology committee for Bridgeport Public Schools raised the idea of bringing affordable computers into our classrooms, I suggested we consider Chromebooks, coupled with Google Apps for Education. I was a fan of the Chromebook right from the start because of their affordable price and ease of use. In 2010, Google sent me one of the first Chromebooks to review on my blog, <a href="http://educationaltechnologyguy.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Educational Technology Guy</a>, where I write about technology resources for teachers and students. <br /> <br /> The affordability and easy maintenance of Chromebooks clinched the deal – we could buy three Chromebooks for the price of a single desktop computer and the district’s small IT team wouldn’t have to struggle to keep up with the repairs and updates on aging PCs. We would also save on support time and costs since Chromebooks update automatically. Initially, we bought 4,000 Chromebooks for our high schools, where every classroom now has a Chromebook for each student. At the same time, we decided to start using Google Apps for Education so every student would have an email address, something we’d never been able to do before. We also used Google Drive to move student documents off of our internal file storage system – another way to save the IT team time and money. So they can now work together and communicate with teachers even while not in the classroom.<br /> <br /> When we received some hard-won grant money, we bought more Chromebooks, and we’re now at 9,000 district-wide. Our goal is to bring Chromebooks to every classroom in grades 4 through 12. The Chromebooks have already changed how teachers teach and students learn: there’s less “listen-to-me” lecturing, and more active student involvement in creating their own projects. <br /> <br /> Now that we've been using Chromebooks for a while, we've been able to provide our students access to technology and take the strain off of our IT department, but what makes this truly successful is the what our students say. One of our 12th graders told me she loves that she can "take school work anywhere" or as one of our 10th graders told me, "they make it easier to hand in work and decrease your chance of failing."</div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'>Labels:</span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/chromebooks' rel='tag'>chromebooks</a>, <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/Chromebooks%20for%20Education' rel='tag'>Chromebooks for Education</a>, <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/customer%20love' rel='tag'>customer love</a>, <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/Gone%20Google' rel='tag'>Gone Google</a>, <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/Google%20for%20Education' rel='tag'>Google for Education</a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='0' data-onclick='' data-post-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/bridgeport-public-schools-chooses.html' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/bridgeport-public-schools-chooses.html' style='color: #245dc1;'></span> </span> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='13128712046171639' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/first-round-capital-transforms-venture.html' itemprop='url' title='First Round Capital transforms venture capital with the help of Google Apps'> First Round Capital transforms venture capital with the help of Google Apps </a></h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'><span class='caption'>Posted:</span> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'>Thursday, July 17, 2014</span> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-wrapper'> <div class='g-plusone' data-href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/first-round-capital-transforms-venture.html' data-size='medium'></div> </span> <a class='twitter-share-button' data-lang='en' data-related='googleatwork' data-text='First Round Capital transforms venture capital with the help of Google Apps' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/first-round-capital-transforms-venture.html' data-via='googleatwork' href='https://twitter.com/share'>Tweet</a> <iframe allowTransparency='true' frameborder='0' scrolling='no' src='http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/first-round-capital-transforms-venture.html&layout=button_count&show_faces=false&width=77&action=like&colorscheme=light&height=20' style='border:none; overflow:hidden; width:77px; height:20px;'></iframe> <span class='linkedin-wrapper'> <script src='//platform.linkedin.com/in.js' type='text/javascript'>lang: en_US</script> <script data-counter='right' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/first-round-capital-transforms-venture.html' type='IN/Share'></script> </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Camille Ricketts, Editor in Chief, Platform Team of First Round Capital</span> <br /> <br /> <i><b>Editor's note:</b> Whether it’s taking a meeting over Hangout from the airport before escaping to a much-deserved vacation or sending work e-mails from an air-conditioned neighborhood cafe, <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/celebrating-spirit-of-summer.html" target="_blank">technology should help you get your work done faster</a> so you can enjoy the summer months. To celebrate the season of sun, we’re sharing stories from customers who know all about the importance of technology when fostering a culture of mobility and flexibility. Today, we hear from Camille Ricketts, Editor in Chief at <a href="http://firstround.com/" target="_blank">First Round Capital</a>, a leading early-stage venture capital firm founded in Philadelphia with satellite offices in San Francisco and New York.</i> <br /> <br /> What do mega-startups Square, Uber, Warby Parker, and the unassuming town of West Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, have in common? One of the most influential seed-stage VC firms in the world, First Round Capital, which first started at a small office in the small suburb outside Philadelphia, has invested in them. In 2004, entrepreneur and investor Josh Kopelman set out to reinvent seed-stage funding and opened our first office in West Conshohocken. Since then, we’ve moved our headquarters to Philadelphia, grown to over 30 employees and three offices, and funded close to 400 startups. As we’ve expanded, though, we’ve consistently kept a premium on staying nimble and having a platform that both helps us work efficiently and stay connected.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD97hpbwZDqL5GqKDT6hlXE7o2VSZwLjI7bAB6fajDSB0S5BvkAdU_kzigynpuVsv00BsoLPKB6A2nxbDFVEPj6a-KVjQMYPf9LiqQ4K3kvoURwfJ4dkynOrR5QjdstGZWmHgf/s1600/First+Round+Capital-Camille.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD97hpbwZDqL5GqKDT6hlXE7o2VSZwLjI7bAB6fajDSB0S5BvkAdU_kzigynpuVsv00BsoLPKB6A2nxbDFVEPj6a-KVjQMYPf9LiqQ4K3kvoURwfJ4dkynOrR5QjdstGZWmHgf/s1600/First+Round+Capital-Camille.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> <br /> Mobility, security, and accessibility are essential features when we set out to improve any process, so switching to <a href="http://www.google.com/enterprise/apps/business/" target="_blank">Google Apps</a> earlier this year seemed natural -- after nearly a decade of working with other solutions. Most of our staff members are used to using Google Apps like Gmail, Drive and Docs in their personal lives, so moving to Apps made perfect sense for the company as a whole.<br /> <br /> Constant travel, meetings with entrepreneurs, and supporting the companies we fund demand reliability and security every step of the way. We move quickly because we’re on-call much of the time. It’s crucial to know that our e-mail is supported by Google’s infrastructure and doesn’t suffer from server downtime. Security matters are central to our efforts, as we’re handling significant investments and often working with companies that are operating in stealth mode. Our IT managers are able to easily manage access to sensitive documents — and two-step authentication adds an extra layer of much-needed security. If I leave my laptop on an airplane, it’s nice to have complete confidence that no one can access sensitive emails or documents.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG0XUgDLX_S2IuzlQhYJbXvWQk0cQfEvCKGkAKJgMNUSe-fOWR3uiHc1_60WIBQNSscp2kID-6dNXYkoIVtQgNHfQX6EJ7x74K3_BH06m9iWZuzIJJpu_631_mefdEHe7eHlYi/s1600/First+Round+Capital-logo-black-PNG.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG0XUgDLX_S2IuzlQhYJbXvWQk0cQfEvCKGkAKJgMNUSe-fOWR3uiHc1_60WIBQNSscp2kID-6dNXYkoIVtQgNHfQX6EJ7x74K3_BH06m9iWZuzIJJpu_631_mefdEHe7eHlYi/s1600/First+Round+Capital-logo-black-PNG.png" width="320" /></a></div> With <a href="http://www.google.com/enterprise/apps/business/products/hangouts/" target="_blank">Google Hangouts</a>, we’re able to video chat with our employees and entrepreneurs across offices, and to conduct interviews for the First Round Review -- our hub for entrepreneurial advice. Before Google Hangouts, we used used a variety of solutions with poor sound and video quality. When I only have 30 minutes to interview someone, I can’t afford to spend even five minutes worrying about whether or not the video will work. <br /> <br /> First Round is on the move all the time serving the entrepreneurs we support, and we can’t have technology get in the way of the fast-paced nature of our work. We need technology that makes our jobs easier so we can continue helping startups build companies and products that will change the world. Sometimes we even forget we’re using Google Apps because it lets us focus on what we love to — inventing new ways to connect entrepreneurs with the resources they need to succeed.<br /> <br /></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'>Labels:</span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/customer%20love' rel='tag'>customer love</a>, <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/Gone%20Google' rel='tag'>Gone Google</a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='0' data-onclick='' data-post-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/first-round-capital-transforms-venture.html' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/first-round-capital-transforms-venture.html' style='color: #245dc1;'></span> </span> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='1055924434593470581' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/celebrating-spirit-of-summer.html' itemprop='url' title='Celebrating the spirit of summer '> Celebrating the spirit of summer </a></h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'><span class='caption'>Posted:</span> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'>Monday, July 14, 2014</span> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-wrapper'> <div class='g-plusone' data-href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/celebrating-spirit-of-summer.html' data-size='medium'></div> </span> <a class='twitter-share-button' data-lang='en' data-related='googleatwork' data-text='Celebrating the spirit of summer ' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/celebrating-spirit-of-summer.html' data-via='googleatwork' href='https://twitter.com/share'>Tweet</a> <iframe allowTransparency='true' frameborder='0' scrolling='no' src='http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/celebrating-spirit-of-summer.html&layout=button_count&show_faces=false&width=77&action=like&colorscheme=light&height=20' style='border:none; overflow:hidden; width:77px; height:20px;'></iframe> <span class='linkedin-wrapper'> <script src='//platform.linkedin.com/in.js' type='text/javascript'>lang: en_US</script> <script data-counter='right' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/celebrating-spirit-of-summer.html' type='IN/Share'></script> </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Kelly Campbell, Director of Enterprise Marketing</span> <br /> <br /> Whether you’re driving with the top down, escaping the scorching heat by stepping into an air-conditioned building, or grilling burgers and brats with family and friends as the sun goes down — it’s clear that summer is here. And the truth is, we all have things we’d rather be doing than sitting inside an office while the summer passes us by. That got us thinking about how technology can help us spend our time more efficiently. How can we make the most of our days during these fleeting summer months?<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVMrdWN4y-4z8YkTrtQJj088MidkTzX0RjRtLUIySZwJtzwPw_c3c3esgXG-k-0Bqeadx59k_jz_w6j3HbRhMluZXdv4xAl0lF1VNeYU71mpgHLOHT1EIVniL-m_N6FmpENTzo/s1600/kelly_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVMrdWN4y-4z8YkTrtQJj088MidkTzX0RjRtLUIySZwJtzwPw_c3c3esgXG-k-0Bqeadx59k_jz_w6j3HbRhMluZXdv4xAl0lF1VNeYU71mpgHLOHT1EIVniL-m_N6FmpENTzo/s1600/kelly_1.jpg" width="266" /></a></div> We’re asking you — companies, colleagues and friends — to consider how technology can help you get your work done faster so you can enjoy summer even more. With tools like Google Docs and Google+ Hangouts, people can get their work done from wherever they are, from any device, so they’re not forced to watch the sun-soaked days fly by from their desks. As we continue into those long summer days, we want to celebrate the independence that technology affords. So we’ll be working with a handful of our Google Apps customers, like <a href="http://uber.com/" target="_blank">Uber</a>, <a href="http://www.thrillist.com/" target="_blank">Thrillist</a> and <a href="http://www.federaldonuts.com/" target="_blank">Federal Donuts</a>, to highlight how technology can make life easier and let us do our work when on the go. <br /> <br /> And this is just the start. We’ll continue to find more ways to help bring mobility, freedom, and fulfillment to your workplace and workday. We want you to work the way you live, which means bringing your technology from life to work — whether it’s e-mail, spreadsheets or meetings —and finding that sweet spot between work and play. <br /> <br /> In case you’re wondering how I plan to enjoy the summer, well, let’s just say that I’ll be taking my Friday afternoon meetings via Hangouts before heading to the beach. Here’s to celebrating the spirit of summer — at work, at home and on the go.</div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'>Labels:</span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/Gone%20Google' rel='tag'>Gone Google</a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='0' data-onclick='' data-post-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/celebrating-spirit-of-summer.html' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/celebrating-spirit-of-summer.html' style='color: #245dc1;'></span> </span> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='2954125338563575695' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/crunch-fitness-launches-data-driven.html' itemprop='url' title='Crunch Fitness launches data-driven marketing campaigns with Google Maps '> Crunch Fitness launches data-driven marketing campaigns with Google Maps </a></h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'><span class='caption'>Posted:</span> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'>Thursday, July 10, 2014</span> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-wrapper'> <div class='g-plusone' data-href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/crunch-fitness-launches-data-driven.html' data-size='medium'></div> </span> <a class='twitter-share-button' data-lang='en' data-related='googleatwork' data-text='Crunch Fitness launches data-driven marketing campaigns with Google Maps ' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/crunch-fitness-launches-data-driven.html' data-via='googleatwork' href='https://twitter.com/share'>Tweet</a> <iframe allowTransparency='true' frameborder='0' scrolling='no' src='http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/crunch-fitness-launches-data-driven.html&layout=button_count&show_faces=false&width=77&action=like&colorscheme=light&height=20' style='border:none; overflow:hidden; width:77px; height:20px;'></iframe> <span class='linkedin-wrapper'> <script src='//platform.linkedin.com/in.js' type='text/javascript'>lang: en_US</script> <script data-counter='right' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/crunch-fitness-launches-data-driven.html' type='IN/Share'></script> </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> Posted by Sara Aschheim, Media Manager, Crunch Fitness<br /> <br /> <i><b>Editor's note: </b>Today’s post comes from Sara Aschheim, Media Manager at <a href="http://www.crunch.com/splash/">Crunch Fitness</a>. See how other forward-thinking organizations are investing in mapping technology and transforming their business by viewing our <a href="https://seefurther.withgoogle.com/instant-insight">Maps are Going Google</a> series.</i><br /> <br /> At Crunch, we’re all about making fitness fun. From our humble beginnings in a New York City basement, to full-service gyms with signature classes like B-Method and Cycle Karaoke, we realize that staying fit doesn’t just mean having access to a treadmill. This year, we’ve already opened over 13 gyms and plan to add several more this year. <br /> <br /> The gym industry often relies on outdoor advertising and direct mail to spread the word about its offerings, like new locations, classes, and pricing. At Crunch, we firmly believe in making sure our advertisements are relevant and targeted. With Google Maps Engine Pro, our marketing and sales departments can make smarter, data-driven decisions by visualizing business-critical data. <br /> <br /> As someone responsible for making sure we get the most from our media investments, I can use Maps Pro to map potential outdoor advertising placements in the more than 70 cities where we’re currently located. I do this by importing an Excel spreadsheet filled with information like price, geographic coordinates, and vendor name to a Google Map. Using Maps Pro, I can customize icons so anyone can quickly glance at the map and understand exactly where the advertising opportunities lie.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK7vDOe2jVpd4eMDVkWYdy_SJIdKHEvEU8K6a2xOYDfgRlrleHOqbqK_a6Vnczm3I8pcXSw53oKVqm4aRfyiFBv_nk43rpZ-xgoc-ZXy-FZNcOVEdGsBcDBxDeAtQaGNyxq5-W/s1600/Crunch+Status+Map.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="299" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK7vDOe2jVpd4eMDVkWYdy_SJIdKHEvEU8K6a2xOYDfgRlrleHOqbqK_a6Vnczm3I8pcXSw53oKVqm4aRfyiFBv_nk43rpZ-xgoc-ZXy-FZNcOVEdGsBcDBxDeAtQaGNyxq5-W/s1600/Crunch+Status+Map.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> We also use Maps Pro to overlay customer location data around our franchise locations. Although some customers are willing to travel across town for a particular class, it’s important to us that we make the Crunch experience as convenient as possible. We also use these maps to figure out where potential customers are located and where we should launch direct mail campaigns.<br /> <br /> The best thing about Maps Pro is that it’s simple to use for anyone who has used Google Maps. It’s easy to share and customize our data in Google Maps, such as changing the icon of one of our club’s to include hours. This has increased our level of cross-departmental collaboration and cut down on the time typically required to implement marketing campaigns. With our previous mapping partner, we had to send maps as email attachments, creating different versions for each change, and as a result people were discouraged from collaborating. <br /> <br /> Convenience and location play a huge role in making Crunch, one of the most popular, recognizable fitness chains today. Maps Engine Pro helps us know who our members and potential customers are, and where they are, so we can be smarter about how we communicate with them. </div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'>Labels:</span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/customer%20love' rel='tag'>customer love</a>, <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/Gone%20Google' rel='tag'>Gone Google</a>, <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/Google%20Maps%20Engine%20Pro' rel='tag'>Google Maps Engine Pro</a>, <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/Google%20Maps%20for%20Business' rel='tag'>Google Maps for Business</a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='0' data-onclick='' data-post-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/crunch-fitness-launches-data-driven.html' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/crunch-fitness-launches-data-driven.html' style='color: #245dc1;'></span> </span> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='1832191753733983913' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/maps-are-going-google-decide-with.html' itemprop='url' title='Maps are going Google: Decide with Instant Insights'> Maps are going Google: Decide with Instant Insights </a></h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'><span class='caption'>Posted:</span> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'>Wednesday, July 9, 2014</span> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-wrapper'> <div class='g-plusone' data-href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/maps-are-going-google-decide-with.html' data-size='medium'></div> </span> <a class='twitter-share-button' data-lang='en' data-related='googleatwork' data-text='Maps are going Google: Decide with Instant Insights' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/maps-are-going-google-decide-with.html' data-via='googleatwork' href='https://twitter.com/share'>Tweet</a> <iframe allowTransparency='true' frameborder='0' scrolling='no' src='http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/maps-are-going-google-decide-with.html&layout=button_count&show_faces=false&width=77&action=like&colorscheme=light&height=20' style='border:none; overflow:hidden; width:77px; height:20px;'></iframe> <span class='linkedin-wrapper'> <script src='//platform.linkedin.com/in.js' type='text/javascript'>lang: en_US</script> <script data-counter='right' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/maps-are-going-google-decide-with.html' type='IN/Share'></script> </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Jay Remley, Director, Google Maps for Business</span> <br /> <br /> <i><b>Editor's note:</b> In today’s digital age, information overload is a common problem, both in our lives and at work.

With so much information available, companies need a real-time mechanism to understand fresh data, make decisions and communicate those decisions internally. <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGdesUhseHtaiWFHajl8NWyeG5Sjrm5EMKQCiT2XbaA6acqvwaaMPVM-L0J4H-5FXvvDVKMf84IuuOgqv-Foojpewb7hzABmEbzzrA_pLeL4HdhwXWfD_PERe-lc5iSveDnvt_/s1600/Data+growth.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="425" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGdesUhseHtaiWFHajl8NWyeG5Sjrm5EMKQCiT2XbaA6acqvwaaMPVM-L0J4H-5FXvvDVKMf84IuuOgqv-Foojpewb7hzABmEbzzrA_pLeL4HdhwXWfD_PERe-lc5iSveDnvt_/s1600/Data+growth.png" width="640" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> To stay ahead of information overload, savvy business leaders, like those at <a href="http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.biosolar.com.au%2F&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNHcXMgvcmVyYFTbTCKYuShuqpt1_A">BioSolar</a>, are realizing the benefits that maps can bring. Based in Australia, the solar company’s mission is to make renewable energy affordable for the folks “down under.” But with 23 million residents spread across nearly 3 million square miles, selling and installing solar panel systems isn’t easy.<br /> <br /> Rather than asking sales and marketing reps to pour over the data needed to identify solar candidates, BioSolar puts prospective customer information on a map. This lets the team see exactly where they need to be and who they need to target. Since deploying Google Maps, BioSolar’s total sales appointments per day have increased from 20 to 180.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinDlG5asnz2hvGxxjkuAmJVtp-xPNm2SrZgjKlKo_j2iEAjiw5_BnIt6DnK9tUc_HyIZYhwQ305aTheJNVG1clDNXsYP7nE5bb7fEy0qrngEccbNaqmyF6pp1zD_Y_9ukCydrJ/s1600/biosolar.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="175" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinDlG5asnz2hvGxxjkuAmJVtp-xPNm2SrZgjKlKo_j2iEAjiw5_BnIt6DnK9tUc_HyIZYhwQ305aTheJNVG1clDNXsYP7nE5bb7fEy0qrngEccbNaqmyF6pp1zD_Y_9ukCydrJ/s1600/biosolar.png" width="400" /></a></div> <br /> Biosolar is just one company who is realizing the benefits of seeing data in context to its location. Whether reporting to senior executives or doing your own analysis, overlaying dispersed data sets on a map allows an organization to present their information in one clear picture. This lets employees gather insights more effectively and improve communications. <br /> <br /> As a business grows, finding better ways to use data is essential.

To celebrate the announcement and show how Drive helps businesses around the world, we’re sharing a few stories from a handful of customers using Drive (and the rest of the Google Apps suite) in innovative ways. Today we hear from Greg Hohenbrink, Enterprise IT Manager at <a href="http://www.scottsmiraclegro.com/">Scotts Miracle-Gro</a>, which provides lawn and gardening products to customers around the world. <br /> </i> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBXnThRJ25HIiPC4NKN7qd5FE2UQA7_QjwweNHpLEnlpFo_k-pEInCAWYD0GgYpgPD7fEA4LlwmvBR9xo3xRVSr_5RmfSCi94xFUTgznug1ku32i83O1CGZ8z-upWvMGMnSXNp/s1600/Scott+Miracle+Gro+logo.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="54" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBXnThRJ25HIiPC4NKN7qd5FE2UQA7_QjwweNHpLEnlpFo_k-pEInCAWYD0GgYpgPD7fEA4LlwmvBR9xo3xRVSr_5RmfSCi94xFUTgznug1ku32i83O1CGZ8z-upWvMGMnSXNp/s1600/Scott+Miracle+Gro+logo.png" width="320" /></a></div> <i><br /></i> Scotts Miracle-Gro was founded in Marysville, Ohio, in 1868 as a premium seed company. By 1940, the company reached $1 million in sales and expanded to 60 associates. Today, we have more than 10,000 associates across North America, Europe and Asia, and we sell about $2.8 billion in lawn and gardening care products and services annually. We manage the entire supply chain, from raw materials to shipping, and we’re always looking to streamline the process to become faster and more efficient as the company expands. <br /> <br /> In 2012, we took a good, hard look at the IT department and realized that associates spent too much time managing files, folders and emails. We were using a combination of Exchange 2007 and 2010, with teams using a mix of products for cloud-based storage that made our processes disjointed and cross-team collaboration difficult. Our associates needed a platform to be efficient with documents and information. We spent a year evaluating productivity suites with an internal focus group of 100 associates. The overwhelming majority wanted Google Apps and, with help from <a href="http://www.onixnet.com/" target="_blank">Onix</a>, we made the move quickly and smoothly.<br /> <br /> We’ve seen organic adoption and satisfaction with Google Apps across the company. Most people were already familiar with Gmail, Docs and Drive, so collaboration happened naturally with teams of associates working in the same document instead of saving different versions on the server. <br /> <br /> We’re now able to centralize our storage needs with Drive. Most teams use Docs, Slides and Sheets, while relying on Word, Excel and Powerpoint as needed. Since Drive supports all file types, we can store and share everything in one place. We’re seeing growth in adoption of the Drive desktop sync client, which lets associates drag and drop files into a folder in their home drive and have it automatically sync with Drive on the web. <br /> <br /> With Drive, we can access all of our files and documents on the go. Recently, I was at an event and my colleague needed me to edit something immediately. I was able to find and open the file through my smartphone and address his concerns on the spot. In the past, I would have had to find a computer, VPN in, and fumble with a log-in. Thanks to Google Apps, what used to take half a day now only takes 30 minutes. <br /> <br /> Hangouts is spreading across the organization as well. Our engineering team uses it twice a week to hold video calls with a developer in Hawaii. They also appreciate being able to share code in the same screen. Using a Chromebox in his office, our CIO holds daily standups with the Business Transformation leadership team, which makes videoconferencing quick and easy. <br /> <br /> We’re also building applications on top of <a href="https://developers.google.com/appengine/" target="_blank">Google App Engine</a>, which has been surprisingly easy to pick up. Our first big application was a CRM app, which we developed and rolled out with our sales force in a relatively short timeframe. With App Engine, we’re able to support this application without having to think about any of the underlying infrastructure. <br /> <br /> For more than a century, Scotts Miracle-Gro has used innovation to help consumers create beautiful, healthy lawns and gardens. With Google Apps, we continue to find innovative ways to empower our associates to support this mission. </div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'>Labels:</span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/customer%20love' rel='tag'>customer love</a>, <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/Gone%20Google' rel='tag'>Gone Google</a>, <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/Google%20Apps%20for%20Business' rel='tag'>Google Apps for Business</a>, <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/google%20drive' rel='tag'>google drive</a>, <a class='label' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/Google%20Drive%20for%20Work' rel='tag'>Google Drive for Work</a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='0' data-onclick='' data-post-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/scotts-miracle-gro-uses-google-apps-and.html' data-url='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/scotts-miracle-gro-uses-google-apps-and.html' style='color: #245dc1;'></span> </span> </div> </div> <div class='blog-pager' id='blog-pager'> <span id='blog-pager-older-link'> <a class='blog-pager-older-link' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search/label/Gone%20Google?updated-max=2014-07-08T12:22:00-07:00&max-results=20&start=20&by-date=false' id='Blog1_blog-pager-older-link' title='Older Posts'>Older Posts</a> </span> <a class='home-link' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/'>Home</a> </div> <div class='clear'></div> </div></div> </div> </div> <div class='col-right'> <div class='section' id='sidebar-top'><div class='widget BlogSearch' data-version='1' id='BlogSearch1'> <h2 class='title'>Search This Blog</h2> <div class='widget-content'> <div id='BlogSearch1_form'> <form action='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/search' class='gsc-search-box' target='_top'> <table cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0' class='gsc-search-box'> <tbody> <tr> <td class='gsc-input'> <input autocomplete='off' class='gsc-input' name='q' size='10' title='search' type='text' value=''/> </td> <td class='gsc-search-button'> <input class='gsc-search-button' title='search' type='submit' value='Search'/> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </form> </div> </div> <div class='clear'></div> </div></div> <div id='aside'> <div class='section' id='sidebar'><div class='widget BlogArchive' data-version='1' id='BlogArchive1'> <h2>Archive</h2> <div class='widget-content'> <div id='ArchiveList'> <div id='BlogArchive1_ArchiveList'> <ul class='hierarchy'> <li class='archivedate expanded'> <a class='toggle' href='javascript:void(0)'> <span class='zippy toggle-open'>▼ </span> </a> <a class='post-count-link' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/'> 2014 </a> <span class='post-count' dir='ltr'>(147)</span> <ul class='hierarchy'> <li class='archivedate expanded'> <a class='toggle' href='javascript:void(0)'> <span class='zippy toggle-open'>▼ </span> </a> <a class='post-count-link' href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/08/'> August </a> <span class='post-count' dir='ltr'>(17)</span> <ul class='posts'> <li><a href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/08/welcome-to-google-for-education-blog.html'>Welcome to the Google for Education Blog</a></li> <li><a href='http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/08/googles-cloud-is-secure-but-you-dont.html'>Google's cloud is secure.
