href="https://www.google.com/work/apps/business/" target="_blank">Google Apps</a>. Today, in honor of <a href="http://www.nationalbreastcancer.org/breast-cancer-awareness-month" target="_blank">National Breast Cancer Awareness Month</a>, we imagine how Marie Curie’s <a href="https://www.aip.org/history/curie/brief/index.html" target="_blank">discovery</a> of radioactivity, which won a Nobel Prize and revolutionized modern cancer treatment, might have played out in a Google Apps universe.</i><br /> <br /> Consider what Marie Curie accomplished in the face of adversity and with few resources. Despite being <a href="http://womenshistory.about.com/od/mariecurie/p/marie_curie.htm" target="_blank">refused</a> a place at the French Academy of Sciences and almost <a href="https://www.aip.org/history/curie/recdis2.htm" target="_blank">denied</a> her first Nobel Prize for being a woman, she continued her work undeterred, securing a <a href="http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/chemistry/laureates/1911/" target="_blank">second</a> Nobel Prize in Chemistry and developing methods for treating cancer with radiation therapy. To celebrate her, we explore how she might have worked in a different time — by using some of the tools we use today. <br /> <br /> The radioactivity in Curie’s lab was so strong that it harmed her health — archivists today still use protective gear to handle her <a href="http://www.csmonitor.com/Technology/Horizons/2011/1107/Marie-Curie-Why-her-papers-are-still-radioactive" target="_blank">papers</a>. Instead of carrying these radioactive documents, Curie could have kept them in the cloud with <a href="https://www.google.com/work/apps/business/products/drive/" target="_blank">Google Drive</a>, allowing for easy access whenever and wherever she needed them, without risking her well-being. Drive’s organization features could also have helped her organize her <a href="http://static.springer.com/sgw/documents/1426303/application/pdf/Adloff_The+Laboratory+Notebooks+of+Pierre+and+Marie+Curie.pdf" target="_blank">files and notes</a> in folders, easily distinguishable by color and category.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwWezLP08ddZz3VhhZzKxv9I84YsLMCm9mKFa-IP42UdIthmbZFA7lQV4RekTwYsNXmKkuWiTFRZID8qJWiK-lWnV3_TcScVcQlBCCHWjwEgFcSmvS4Ennd4yPEKOWPa6Khq3jEGHF0u0/s1600/image00.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="407" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwWezLP08ddZz3VhhZzKxv9I84YsLMCm9mKFa-IP42UdIthmbZFA7lQV4RekTwYsNXmKkuWiTFRZID8qJWiK-lWnV3_TcScVcQlBCCHWjwEgFcSmvS4Ennd4yPEKOWPa6Khq3jEGHF0u0/s640/image00.gif" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> Her easy access to files would also be secure with Drive’s built-in security stack. And to prevent anyone from stealing her discoveries, Marie Curie could have conveniently protected all of her files using the <a href="http://googleforwork.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-key-for-working-smarter-faster-and-more-securely.html" target="_blank">Security Key</a> for 2-step verification along with password protection. This would ensure that she was the only one who had complete access to all of her work (she may even have thrown on a screen protector to shield her work from spying eyes on the train). To share the right documents with only the right people, Marie could have used <a href="http://googleforwork.blogspot.com/2015/03/keep-all-of-your-work-more-secure-with.html" target="_blank">sharing controls</a> to give different groups access to relevant research.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> <br /> With the voice typing feature in <a href="https://www.google.com/work/apps/business/products/docs/" target="_blank">Google Docs</a> that supports 40 languages, she could have dictated her numerous notes in her native Polish without stopping her research. She could have then used Google Translate to convert her papers into other languages, so that the global science community could see what she was working on.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2sbiRDQbJOGx6xAxjYJPw6hEdJeDWsLaWPzh6iJzSGp4MLZhVFs1EQKfan1__EVqDUs4FvdZeLV3HSAlek0PPhJXHXBBS0jnVwtadfVTJWeI0atCS13B7yeqmNjacroYOrmucWhuGmY0/s1600/MarieCurie-voicetyping-edited-2.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2sbiRDQbJOGx6xAxjYJPw6hEdJeDWsLaWPzh6iJzSGp4MLZhVFs1EQKfan1__EVqDUs4FvdZeLV3HSAlek0PPhJXHXBBS0jnVwtadfVTJWeI0atCS13B7yeqmNjacroYOrmucWhuGmY0/s640/MarieCurie-voicetyping-edited-2.gif" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> <br /> Curie could have used <a href="https://www.google.com/work/apps/business/products/gmail/" target="_blank">Gmail’</a>s <a href="https://support.google.com/mail/answer/186531" target="_blank">Priority Inbox</a> to create labels and organize her messages related to research, teaching and fundraising. Each label filters emails into its own section in her inbox, making it easy to notice new emails when they arrive. She might have created a “Physicist Community” label for correspondences with Pierre and other influential scientists like <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henri_Becquerel" target="_blank">Henri Becquerel</a> and <a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=aLWaoLBbtikC&pg=PR34&lpg=PR34&dq=marie+curie+collaboration&source=bl&ots=PnIEV1wQfS&sig=mdHv2w2PMF8QOKKxhSBriVJQ8Fw&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CDQQ6AEwBDgKahUKEwij2fzqqvfHAhUCQYgKHbLFAC4#v=onepage&q=marie%20curie%20collaboration&f=false" target="_blank">Albert Einstein</a>. She might also have used a “Fundraising” label to organize messages from members of the press and government who funded her research, including U.S. presidents Warren G. Harding and Herbert Hoover.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIN8t1GgGYqNr6DhOFkkTd89RZzbkCHjsHaCSmZiEt2YLMnAcXiAXTGdxx-qeN0d1m_Y-OhkOsFtHyKpoR-WZ9bBU6MATT1c6EvhHNTM0n4shK3xZuAGPvdDKHboDh7QaZf8ggjD-M1Vg/s1600/image01.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="264" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIN8t1GgGYqNr6DhOFkkTd89RZzbkCHjsHaCSmZiEt2YLMnAcXiAXTGdxx-qeN0d1m_Y-OhkOsFtHyKpoR-WZ9bBU6MATT1c6EvhHNTM0n4shK3xZuAGPvdDKHboDh7QaZf8ggjD-M1Vg/s640/image01.png" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> Even Marie Curie could have been the victim of seemingly neverending reply-all email threads. With Gmail, she could have avoided these distractions by muting the message so responses are automatically archived. For example, Curie could have muted the message from her Sorbonne colleagues who abused “reply all” in RSVP emails or broke out into a physics debate, letting her focus on important emails only. <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfc8lLbiszcWcjVxGsEkwTvoYoImPvVHiFG7Ae20lXmR2YoWRt2dY07MqA7Ty44x4kRhjUGEU7nQhpBJHuCtUJN21L12aZexdA0HfOCwWU6OTDooOY-Kr35n0ur1i8X52BVEy_mr_tYhY/s1600/image03.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="282" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfc8lLbiszcWcjVxGsEkwTvoYoImPvVHiFG7Ae20lXmR2YoWRt2dY07MqA7Ty44x4kRhjUGEU7nQhpBJHuCtUJN21L12aZexdA0HfOCwWU6OTDooOY-Kr35n0ur1i8X52BVEy_mr_tYhY/s640/image03.gif" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> With <a href="https://www.google.com/work/apps/business/products/hangouts/" target="_blank">Google Hangouts</a>, Curie could have broadcast her physics classes to a global audience using <a href="https://support.google.com/plus/answer/2553119?hl=en" target="_blank">Hangouts on Air</a>. As the first woman professor at the <a href="http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/1903/marie-curie-bio.html" target="_blank">Sorbonne</a> in Paris, making her classes available online could have given more women access to lectures from a renowned physicist during a time when many universities wouldn’t admit female students.

Today, in honor of <a href="http://www.nationalbreastcancer.org/breast-cancer-awareness-month" target="_blank">National Breast Cancer Awareness Month</a>, we imagine how Marie Curie’s <a href="https://www.aip.org/history/curie/brief/index.html" target="_blank">discovery</a> of radioactivity, which won a Nobel Prize and revolutionized modern cancer treatment, might have played out in a Google Apps universe.</i><br /> <br /> Consider what Marie Curie accomplished in the face of adversity and with few resources. Despite being <a href="http://womenshistory.about.com/od/mariecurie/p/marie_curie.htm" target="_blank">refused</a> a place at the French Academy of Sciences and almost <a href="https://www.aip.org/history/curie/recdis2.htm" target="_blank">denied</a> her first Nobel Prize for being a woman, she continued her work undeterred, securing a <a href="http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/chemistry/laureates/1911/" target="_blank">second</a> Nobel Prize in Chemistry and developing methods for treating cancer with radiation therapy. To celebrate her, we explore how she might have worked in a different time — by using some of the tools we use today. <br /> <br /> The radioactivity in Curie’s lab was so strong that it harmed her health — archivists today still use protective gear to handle her <a href="http://www.csmonitor.com/Technology/Horizons/2011/1107/Marie-Curie-Why-her-papers-are-still-radioactive" target="_blank">papers</a>. Instead of carrying these radioactive documents, Curie could have kept them in the cloud with <a href="https://www.google.com/work/apps/business/products/drive/" target="_blank">Google Drive</a>, allowing for easy access whenever and wherever she needed them, without risking her well-being. Drive’s organization features could also have helped her organize her <a href="http://static.springer.com/sgw/documents/1426303/application/pdf/Adloff_The+Laboratory+Notebooks+of+Pierre+and+Marie+Curie.pdf" target="_blank">files and notes</a> in folders, easily distinguishable by color and category.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwWezLP08ddZz3VhhZzKxv9I84YsLMCm9mKFa-IP42UdIthmbZFA7lQV4RekTwYsNXmKkuWiTFRZID8qJWiK-lWnV3_TcScVcQlBCCHWjwEgFcSmvS4Ennd4yPEKOWPa6Khq3jEGHF0u0/s1600/image00.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="407" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwWezLP08ddZz3VhhZzKxv9I84YsLMCm9mKFa-IP42UdIthmbZFA7lQV4RekTwYsNXmKkuWiTFRZID8qJWiK-lWnV3_TcScVcQlBCCHWjwEgFcSmvS4Ennd4yPEKOWPa6Khq3jEGHF0u0/s640/image00.gif" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> Her easy access to files would also be secure with Drive’s built-in security stack. And to prevent anyone from stealing her discoveries, Marie Curie could have conveniently protected all of her files using the <a href="http://googleforwork.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-key-for-working-smarter-faster-and-more-securely.html" target="_blank">Security Key</a> for 2-step verification along with password protection. This would ensure that she was the only one who had complete access to all of her work (she may even have thrown on a screen protector to shield her work from spying eyes on the train). To share the right documents with only the right people, Marie could have used <a href="http://googleforwork.blogspot.com/2015/03/keep-all-of-your-work-more-secure-with.html" target="_blank">sharing controls</a> to give different groups access to relevant research.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> <br /> With the voice typing feature in <a href="https://www.google.com/work/apps/business/products/docs/" target="_blank">Google Docs</a> that supports 40 languages, she could have dictated her numerous notes in her native Polish without stopping her research. She could have then used Google Translate to convert her papers into other languages, so that the global science community could see what she was working on.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2sbiRDQbJOGx6xAxjYJPw6hEdJeDWsLaWPzh6iJzSGp4MLZhVFs1EQKfan1__EVqDUs4FvdZeLV3HSAlek0PPhJXHXBBS0jnVwtadfVTJWeI0atCS13B7yeqmNjacroYOrmucWhuGmY0/s1600/MarieCurie-voicetyping-edited-2.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2sbiRDQbJOGx6xAxjYJPw6hEdJeDWsLaWPzh6iJzSGp4MLZhVFs1EQKfan1__EVqDUs4FvdZeLV3HSAlek0PPhJXHXBBS0jnVwtadfVTJWeI0atCS13B7yeqmNjacroYOrmucWhuGmY0/s640/MarieCurie-voicetyping-edited-2.gif" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> <br /> Curie could have used <a href="https://www.google.com/work/apps/business/products/gmail/" target="_blank">Gmail’</a>s <a href="https://support.google.com/mail/answer/186531" target="_blank">Priority Inbox</a> to create labels and organize her messages related to research, teaching and fundraising. Each label filters emails into its own section in her inbox, making it easy to notice new emails when they arrive. She might have created a “Physicist Community” label for correspondences with Pierre and other influential scientists like <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henri_Becquerel" target="_blank">Henri Becquerel</a> and <a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=aLWaoLBbtikC&pg=PR34&lpg=PR34&dq=marie+curie+collaboration&source=bl&ots=PnIEV1wQfS&sig=mdHv2w2PMF8QOKKxhSBriVJQ8Fw&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CDQQ6AEwBDgKahUKEwij2fzqqvfHAhUCQYgKHbLFAC4#v=onepage&q=marie%20curie%20collaboration&f=false" target="_blank">Albert Einstein</a>. She might also have used a “Fundraising” label to organize messages from members of the press and government who funded her research, including U.S. presidents Warren G. Harding and Herbert Hoover.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIN8t1GgGYqNr6DhOFkkTd89RZzbkCHjsHaCSmZiEt2YLMnAcXiAXTGdxx-qeN0d1m_Y-OhkOsFtHyKpoR-WZ9bBU6MATT1c6EvhHNTM0n4shK3xZuAGPvdDKHboDh7QaZf8ggjD-M1Vg/s1600/image01.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="264" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIN8t1GgGYqNr6DhOFkkTd89RZzbkCHjsHaCSmZiEt2YLMnAcXiAXTGdxx-qeN0d1m_Y-OhkOsFtHyKpoR-WZ9bBU6MATT1c6EvhHNTM0n4shK3xZuAGPvdDKHboDh7QaZf8ggjD-M1Vg/s640/image01.png" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> Even Marie Curie could have been the victim of seemingly neverending reply-all email threads. With Gmail, she could have avoided these distractions by muting the message so responses are automatically archived. For example, Curie could have muted the message from her Sorbonne colleagues who abused “reply all” in RSVP emails or broke out into a physics debate, letting her focus on important emails only. <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfc8lLbiszcWcjVxGsEkwTvoYoImPvVHiFG7Ae20lXmR2YoWRt2dY07MqA7Ty44x4kRhjUGEU7nQhpBJHuCtUJN21L12aZexdA0HfOCwWU6OTDooOY-Kr35n0ur1i8X52BVEy_mr_tYhY/s1600/image03.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="282" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfc8lLbiszcWcjVxGsEkwTvoYoImPvVHiFG7Ae20lXmR2YoWRt2dY07MqA7Ty44x4kRhjUGEU7nQhpBJHuCtUJN21L12aZexdA0HfOCwWU6OTDooOY-Kr35n0ur1i8X52BVEy_mr_tYhY/s640/image03.gif" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> With <a href="https://www.google.com/work/apps/business/products/hangouts/" target="_blank">Google Hangouts</a>, Curie could have broadcast her physics classes to a global audience using <a href="https://support.google.com/plus/answer/2553119?hl=en" target="_blank">Hangouts on Air</a>. As the first woman professor at the <a href="http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/1903/marie-curie-bio.html" target="_blank">Sorbonne</a> in Paris, making her classes available online could have given more women access to lectures from a renowned physicist during a time when many universities wouldn’t admit female students. She might even have started her own grassroots movement, using live video chats to bring advanced science into the homes, coffee shops, underground classrooms, etc., of whoever chose to tune in.<br /> <br /> Marie Curie accomplished award-winning work, even without access to the most advanced lab technology of the time. It’s humbling to consider that despite any limitations she encountered, Curie’s pioneering work in radioactivity remains so relevant today as we continue to make advances in not just physics and chemistry but also engineering, biology and medicine, including cancer research, on the basis of her discoveries. </div> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2015/10/looking-back-at-Marie-Curies-radical-discovery-how-the-Mother-of-Modern-Physics-might-have-used-Google-Apps.html'> <img alt='Share on Google+' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/branding/google_plus/2x/ic_w_post_gplus_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='twitter-custom social-wrapper' data-href='http://twitter.com/share?text=Official Google Cloud Blog:Looking back at Marie Curie’s radical discovery: How the Mother of Modern Physics might have used Google Apps&url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2015/10/looking-back-at-Marie-Curies-radical-discovery-how-the-Mother-of-Modern-Physics-might-have-used-Google-Apps.html&via=gsuite'> <img alt='Share on Twitter' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_twitter_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='fb-custom social-wrapper' data-href='https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2015/10/looking-back-at-Marie-Curies-radical-discovery-how-the-Mother-of-Modern-Physics-might-have-used-Google-Apps.html'> <img alt='Share on Facebook' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_facebook_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> </div> <div class='comment-container'> <i class='comment-img material-icons'>  </i> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='2' data-onclick='' data-post-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2015/10/looking-back-at-Marie-Curies-radical-discovery-how-the-Mother-of-Modern-Physics-might-have-used-Google-Apps.html' data-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2015/10/looking-back-at-Marie-Curies-radical-discovery-how-the-Mother-of-Modern-Physics-might-have-used-Google-Apps.html' style='color: #4184F3;'></span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2015/10/looking-back-at-Marie-Curies-radical-discovery-how-the-Mother-of-Modern-Physics-might-have-used-Google-Apps.html' data-viewtype='FILTERED_POSTMOD'></div> <a href='https://plus.google.com/112374322230920073195' rel='author' style='display:none;'> Google </a> <div class='label-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'> Labels: </span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/gmail' rel='tag'> gmail </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Apps%20for%20Work' rel='tag'> Google Apps for Work </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Docs' rel='tag'> Google Docs </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Drive%20for%20Work' rel='tag'> Google Drive for Work </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20for%20Work' rel='tag'> Google for Work </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Hangouts' rel='tag'> Google Hangouts </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Security%20Key' rel='tag'> Google Security Key </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Hangouts%20on%20Air' rel='tag'> Hangouts on Air </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Inbox%20by%20Gmail' rel='tag'> Inbox by Gmail </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='8336010315725077688' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2015/09/making-google-drive-safest-place-for.html' itemprop='url' title='Making Google Drive the safest place for all your work'> Making Google Drive the safest place for all your work </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> Monday, September 21, 2015 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> Posted by Scott Johnston, Director of Product Management, Google Drive<br /> <br /> Security has always been a top priority for Google.

Tools that allow teams to share ideas instantly, attend meetings remotely, collaborate from anywhere in real time and work on the go are helping companies innovate and engage customers in this new competitive landscape. These types of outcomes are possible only by “pure” cloud-based architectures that overcome the inefficiencies of legacy desktop- centric computing.<br /> <br /> While it’s easy to understand how collaboration and mobility impact our day-to-day work, it’s more difficult for organizations to quantify these benefits in monetary terms.<br /> <br /> So Google commissioned Forrester Consulting to conduct a Total Economic Impact (TEI) study examining the value that Google customers achieve by implementing Google Apps for Work. Forrester measured the total economic impact over three years for organizations moving from legacy on-premise infrastructure to Google’s web-based solution. To quantify the complete value of Google Apps for Work, including collaboration and productivity benefits, they interviewed six of our current customers. They then aggregated each piece of customer feedback to create a representative composite organization on which to base the development of a Total Economic Impact model.<br /> <br /> The composite organization is a global B2B multinational services company with 10,000 employees using Google Apps for Work and $4 billion in annual revenue.

These collaboration efficiencies save employees up to two hours per week — which, over three years, adds up to more than $8 million in savings.</li> </ul> <br /> <ul style="text-align: left;"> <li><b>$9 million in mobility benefits and legacy IT cost savings</b>                                                            Google Apps for Work creates an environment where employees can work together, share ideas, innovate, evaluate decisions and improve business performance — all without having to be in a physical office. The ability to work from anywhere and join meetings remotely saves the composite organization more than $5 million in 3 years, while decommissioning legacy servers, software and phone systems saves another $4 million.

Now that all of VDAB has switched to Apps, we’re moving faster, helping more people build their job-seeking skills and matching more employers with qualified candidates.<br /> <br /> We worked with Capgemini, a Google Apps Premier Partner in Belgium, who performed this successful migration.</div> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2015/03/Belgian-employment-agency-VDAB-offers-job-services-at-the-speed-of-Google-Apps.html'> <img alt='Share on Google+' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/branding/google_plus/2x/ic_w_post_gplus_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='twitter-custom social-wrapper' data-href='http://twitter.com/share?text=Official Google Cloud Blog:Belgian employment agency VDAB offers job services at the speed of Google Apps&url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2015/03/Belgian-employment-agency-VDAB-offers-job-services-at-the-speed-of-Google-Apps.html&via=gsuite'> <img alt='Share on Twitter' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_twitter_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='fb-custom social-wrapper' data-href='https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2015/03/Belgian-employment-agency-VDAB-offers-job-services-at-the-speed-of-Google-Apps.html'> <img alt='Share on Facebook' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_facebook_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> </div> <div class='comment-container'> <i class='comment-img material-icons'>  </i> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='4' data-onclick='' data-post-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2015/03/Belgian-employment-agency-VDAB-offers-job-services-at-the-speed-of-Google-Apps.html' data-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2015/03/Belgian-employment-agency-VDAB-offers-job-services-at-the-speed-of-Google-Apps.html' style='color: #4184F3;'></span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2015/03/Belgian-employment-agency-VDAB-offers-job-services-at-the-speed-of-Google-Apps.html' data-viewtype='FILTERED_POSTMOD'></div> <a href='https://plus.google.com/112374322230920073195' rel='author' style='display:none;'> Google </a> <div class='label-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'> Labels: </span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/customer%20love' rel='tag'> customer love </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Gone%20Google' rel='tag'> Gone Google </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Apps%20for%20Work' rel='tag'> Google Apps for Work </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Drive%20for%20Work' rel='tag'> Google Drive for Work </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20for%20Work' rel='tag'> Google for Work </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Hangouts' rel='tag'> Google Hangouts </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Sheets' rel='tag'> Google Sheets </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='7586228327943206004' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2015/01/ambush-security-keep-homes-safe-with.html' itemprop='url' title='Ambush Security keep homes safe with Google Apps '> Ambush Security keep homes safe with Google Apps </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> Thursday, January 15, 2015 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Graham Russell, Founder and Managing Director of Ambush Security</span> <br /> <br /> <i><b>Editor's note:</b> Today’s guest blogger is Graham Russell, Founder and Managing Director of Ambush Security, a family owned security business that has protected Southern Queensland, Australia, since 1986.

The app has surpassed one million downloads to date and our company has swelled to 60 employees. Growing rapidly, we’ve learned some valuable lessons. The following are five insights that might help business leaders stay focused and keep momentum when growing their business. <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjW-tfB8PpUwISD4We33jKEucYUxAfpqetDfB9yW4nMSYC7qggCxfyW0lVKx8FOQG14N3jkJhfeePLQkSlRykSlSmT7N5bq-BY52mVgzn8aHSqEx-hdtD4CXgbiqxjKwL-Mg8wCDp9KJ9I/s1600/YPlan.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjW-tfB8PpUwISD4We33jKEucYUxAfpqetDfB9yW4nMSYC7qggCxfyW0lVKx8FOQG14N3jkJhfeePLQkSlRykSlSmT7N5bq-BY52mVgzn8aHSqEx-hdtD4CXgbiqxjKwL-Mg8wCDp9KJ9I/s640/YPlan.jpg" /></a></div> <br /> <b>1. Identify a real problem — the more personal the better — then try to fix it</b><br /> <b></b>YPlan started as a solution to solve a personal problem. My co-founder Viktoras and I previously worked in finance but quit our jobs to travel to San Francisco to find inspiration. In San Francisco, we found it challenging to easily find things to do on our free nights. There wasn’t a central destination to find events and book tickets. So we decided to create an app to solve that problem. <br /> <br /> <b>2. Model early and often </b><br /> In the early stages of our business idea, we came up with 50 different project ideas before finally settling on YPlan. We constructed a business model, subjected it to an intense process of testing, then eventually scrapped it and started over. When we returned back to London we started the concept for YPlan. We conducted user testing that included Viktoras and I running around to make sure people had their tickets on time (we hadn’t finished the e-ticket mechanism by that point). Testing heavily during the first few months highlights problems you might not have anticipated and gives you the opportunity adapt your product accordingly. <br /> <br /> <b>3. Growth stems from your culture and early DNA </b><br /> From early on, we established a culture of creativity, collaboration and a relentless focus on our customers, which has been a foundation for our future growth. From the first day we stopped negative office patterns of blaming and arguing, and instilled frequent communication, positive reinforcement and team problem-solving. Our primary focus is to deliver the best experience for our users and our employees tackle that task creatively on a daily basis. <br /> <br /> <b>4. Communication and collaboration fuels growth </b><br /> YPlan’s success is largely due to successful collaboration and integration with our partners. With our teams working in at least three time zones simultaneously, <a href="//www.google.com/enterprise/apps/business/products/drive/">Google Drive</a> allows us to collaborate globally in real-time. It’s our central communication hub for content sharing and project collaboration. Having files accessible from anywhere on a mobile device is big plus. This has enabled seamless working and communication with our local teams, which has directly affected our global success and allowed us to expand. <br /> <br /> <b>5. Growth opportunities start with the user </b><br /> When surveying growth options, look to your users and learn from that data. We’re constantly analysing the data we have on our existing users to see how we can improve our services. At any one time we have two thousand versions of the app running in parallel, undergoing a highly selective process of A/B testing, which means the app is constantly being refined. Closely studying our user data led to us introducing “collections.” We knew people wanted to choose from a wide variety of events, but had to present numerous selections in a way that wasn’t a boring list of options. By adapting our interface to meet the needs of users, we now provide a curated experience, which in turn leads to consistently high retention rates after download. <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyB4P0kexJnow9G5GosCuEr0tySjK_AQG7u8yQ6Q-8U8-gquaZ131C90zWcySQuIMzPdTUO4UjHngxmQaxdyRbkxy9IflngKYmv3CYGs9Qdh7VyCb0fZ6SAmRRis8rI0wOzwRRielClfg/s1600/YPlan-Infographic-10-01.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyB4P0kexJnow9G5GosCuEr0tySjK_AQG7u8yQ6Q-8U8-gquaZ131C90zWcySQuIMzPdTUO4UjHngxmQaxdyRbkxy9IflngKYmv3CYGs9Qdh7VyCb0fZ6SAmRRis8rI0wOzwRRielClfg/s1600/YPlan-Infographic-10-01.png" width="358" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> </div> </script> <noscript> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Rytis Vitkauskas, Co-founder and CEO of YPlan</span> <br /> <br /> <i><b>Editor's note:</b> From the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typewriter">typewriter</a> to the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_pencil">propelling pencil</a> to our favorite, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Wide_Web">world wide web</a>, inventors and innovators from the United Kingdom have brought us brilliant advances that have changed the way we work all around the world.

The app has surpassed one million downloads to date and our company has swelled to 60 employees. Growing rapidly, we’ve learned some valuable lessons. The following are five insights that might help business leaders stay focused and keep momentum when growing their business. <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjW-tfB8PpUwISD4We33jKEucYUxAfpqetDfB9yW4nMSYC7qggCxfyW0lVKx8FOQG14N3jkJhfeePLQkSlRykSlSmT7N5bq-BY52mVgzn8aHSqEx-hdtD4CXgbiqxjKwL-Mg8wCDp9KJ9I/s1600/YPlan.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjW-tfB8PpUwISD4We33jKEucYUxAfpqetDfB9yW4nMSYC7qggCxfyW0lVKx8FOQG14N3jkJhfeePLQkSlRykSlSmT7N5bq-BY52mVgzn8aHSqEx-hdtD4CXgbiqxjKwL-Mg8wCDp9KJ9I/s640/YPlan.jpg" /></a></div> <br /> <b>1. Identify a real problem — the more personal the better — then try to fix it</b><br /> <b></b>YPlan started as a solution to solve a personal problem. My co-founder Viktoras and I previously worked in finance but quit our jobs to travel to San Francisco to find inspiration. In San Francisco, we found it challenging to easily find things to do on our free nights. There wasn’t a central destination to find events and book tickets. So we decided to create an app to solve that problem. <br /> <br /> <b>2. Model early and often </b><br /> In the early stages of our business idea, we came up with 50 different project ideas before finally settling on YPlan. We constructed a business model, subjected it to an intense process of testing, then eventually scrapped it and started over. When we returned back to London we started the concept for YPlan. We conducted user testing that included Viktoras and I running around to make sure people had their tickets on time (we hadn’t finished the e-ticket mechanism by that point). Testing heavily during the first few months highlights problems you might not have anticipated and gives you the opportunity adapt your product accordingly. <br /> <br /> <b>3. Growth stems from your culture and early DNA </b><br /> From early on, we established a culture of creativity, collaboration and a relentless focus on our customers, which has been a foundation for our future growth. From the first day we stopped negative office patterns of blaming and arguing, and instilled frequent communication, positive reinforcement and team problem-solving. Our primary focus is to deliver the best experience for our users and our employees tackle that task creatively on a daily basis. <br /> <br /> <b>4. Communication and collaboration fuels growth </b><br /> YPlan’s success is largely due to successful collaboration and integration with our partners. With our teams working in at least three time zones simultaneously, <a href="//www.google.com/enterprise/apps/business/products/drive/">Google Drive</a> allows us to collaborate globally in real-time. It’s our central communication hub for content sharing and project collaboration. Having files accessible from anywhere on a mobile device is big plus. This has enabled seamless working and communication with our local teams, which has directly affected our global success and allowed us to expand. <br /> <br /> <b>5. Growth opportunities start with the user </b><br /> When surveying growth options, look to your users and learn from that data. We’re constantly analysing the data we have on our existing users to see how we can improve our services. At any one time we have two thousand versions of the app running in parallel, undergoing a highly selective process of A/B testing, which means the app is constantly being refined. Closely studying our user data led to us introducing “collections.” We knew people wanted to choose from a wide variety of events, but had to present numerous selections in a way that wasn’t a boring list of options. By adapting our interface to meet the needs of users, we now provide a curated experience, which in turn leads to consistently high retention rates after download. <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyB4P0kexJnow9G5GosCuEr0tySjK_AQG7u8yQ6Q-8U8-gquaZ131C90zWcySQuIMzPdTUO4UjHngxmQaxdyRbkxy9IflngKYmv3CYGs9Qdh7VyCb0fZ6SAmRRis8rI0wOzwRRielClfg/s1600/YPlan-Infographic-10-01.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyB4P0kexJnow9G5GosCuEr0tySjK_AQG7u8yQ6Q-8U8-gquaZ131C90zWcySQuIMzPdTUO4UjHngxmQaxdyRbkxy9IflngKYmv3CYGs9Qdh7VyCb0fZ6SAmRRis8rI0wOzwRRielClfg/s1600/YPlan-Infographic-10-01.png" width="358" /></a></div> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> </div> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2014/09/yplans-rapid-rise-five-insights-from_29.html'> <img alt='Share on Google+' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/branding/google_plus/2x/ic_w_post_gplus_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='twitter-custom social-wrapper' data-href='http://twitter.com/share?text=Official Google Cloud Blog:YPlan’s rapid rise: five insights from CEO Rytis Vitkauskas&url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2014/09/yplans-rapid-rise-five-insights-from_29.html&via=gsuite'> <img alt='Share on Twitter' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_twitter_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='fb-custom social-wrapper' data-href='https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2014/09/yplans-rapid-rise-five-insights-from_29.html'> <img alt='Share on Facebook' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_facebook_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> </div> <div class='comment-container'> <i class='comment-img material-icons'>  </i> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='2' data-onclick='' data-post-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2014/09/yplans-rapid-rise-five-insights-from_29.html' data-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2014/09/yplans-rapid-rise-five-insights-from_29.html' style='color: #4184F3;'></span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2014/09/yplans-rapid-rise-five-insights-from_29.html' data-viewtype='FILTERED_POSTMOD'></div> <a href='https://plus.google.com/112374322230920073195' rel='author' style='display:none;'> Google </a> <div class='label-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'> Labels: </span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/customer%20love' rel='tag'> customer love </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Gone%20Google' rel='tag'> Gone Google </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Apps%20for%20Work' rel='tag'> Google Apps for Work </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Drive%20for%20Work' rel='tag'> Google Drive for Work </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Hangouts' rel='tag'> Google Hangouts </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Maps' rel='tag'> Google Maps </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/UK' rel='tag'> UK </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='3726474950001152321' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2014/09/google-drive-third-party-apps-files-at.html' itemprop='url' title='Google Drive + third-party apps = files at your fingertips'> Google Drive + third-party apps = files at your fingertips </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> Thursday, September 25, 2014 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Chuck Coulson, Google Apps Technology Partnerships</span> <br /> <br /> Work today is very different from 10 years ago.

For employees, that means they should be able to access their work wherever they are, on their favorite device or share their work securely with their colleagues, even if they’re in different offices, cities or countries. For IT managers, that means never worrying about storage quotas again, or being able to track access and sharing across users and files. We realize how important this is, so earlier this summer we <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/06/unlimit-your-business-with-google-drive.html" target="_blank">introduced Google Drive for Work</a>, a package that wraps all of this together for just $10 per user per month. Here’s a look at what’s been brewing with Drive for Work over the past two months.<br /><br /><b>Helping employees collaborate on the go</b><br /><br />Before we introduced Drive for Work, businesses like retailer <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2013/11/chicos-cuts-costs-and-goes-global-with.html" target="_blank">Chico’s</a> and aerospace and defense company <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/06/aerospace-and-defense-company-rockwell_18.html" target="_blank">Rockwell Collins</a> were using Drive to increase collaboration across distributed teams. <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/travis-perkins-plc-builds-powerful.html" target="_blank">Travis Perkins</a> relies on Google Drive to store and share more than 1.3 million documents across thousands of physical locations, to help reduce employee travel and save time. <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/posted-by-marco-grieco-business.html" target="_blank">OVS</a> uses Google Drive to streamline its supply chain by sharing and syncing their files across desktops, tablets and smartphones so people have the information they need, no matter where they are or what device they’re using.<br /><br />Today more than 1,800 businesses sign up for Drive for Work each week. Customers like <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/02/weddingwire-helps-millions-of-engaged.html" target="_blank">WeddingWire</a> are taking advantage of the full capabilities of Drive for Work to help provide their employees with the collaboration and file sharing tools they need on any device, whether they’re in the office or on the road.<br /><br /><b>Extending the Drive ecosystem</b><br /><b><br /></b>Drive for Work includes everything you need to keep all your work safe, easy to share and available anywhere. A growing number of partners are building tools on top of the Drive platform to meet the particular needs of our customers. In addition to the new <a href="https://support.google.com/a/answer/4579696?hl=en" target="_blank">Audit view</a> built into the admin console, Drive for Work also includes an Audit API that partners have used to build <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/advanced-security-for-google-drive-for.html" target="_blank">advanced insight and security extensions</a> like Data Loss Prevention (DLP). Other partners have built tools to help <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/08/how-to-move-your-files-to-google-drive.html" target="_blank">move business content into Drive</a> from any location, including old file servers, local hard drives or other cloud storage products.<br /><br /><b>Keeping your work safe and available</b><br /><br />To help keep your work safe, all files uploaded to Google Drive will be encrypted, not only from your device to Google and in transit between Google data centers, but also at rest on Google servers.

For employees, that means they should be able to access their work wherever they are, on their favorite device or share their work securely with their colleagues, even if they’re in different offices, cities or countries. For IT managers, that means never worrying about storage quotas again, or being able to track access and sharing across users and files. We realize how important this is, so earlier this summer we <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/06/unlimit-your-business-with-google-drive.html" target="_blank">introduced Google Drive for Work</a>, a package that wraps all of this together for just $10 per user per month. Here’s a look at what’s been brewing with Drive for Work over the past two months.<br /><br /><b>Helping employees collaborate on the go</b><br /><br />Before we introduced Drive for Work, businesses like retailer <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2013/11/chicos-cuts-costs-and-goes-global-with.html" target="_blank">Chico’s</a> and aerospace and defense company <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/06/aerospace-and-defense-company-rockwell_18.html" target="_blank">Rockwell Collins</a> were using Drive to increase collaboration across distributed teams. <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/travis-perkins-plc-builds-powerful.html" target="_blank">Travis Perkins</a> relies on Google Drive to store and share more than 1.3 million documents across thousands of physical locations, to help reduce employee travel and save time. <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/posted-by-marco-grieco-business.html" target="_blank">OVS</a> uses Google Drive to streamline its supply chain by sharing and syncing their files across desktops, tablets and smartphones so people have the information they need, no matter where they are or what device they’re using.<br /><br />Today more than 1,800 businesses sign up for Drive for Work each week. Customers like <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/02/weddingwire-helps-millions-of-engaged.html" target="_blank">WeddingWire</a> are taking advantage of the full capabilities of Drive for Work to help provide their employees with the collaboration and file sharing tools they need on any device, whether they’re in the office or on the road.<br /><br /><b>Extending the Drive ecosystem</b><br /><b><br /></b>Drive for Work includes everything you need to keep all your work safe, easy to share and available anywhere. A growing number of partners are building tools on top of the Drive platform to meet the particular needs of our customers. In addition to the new <a href="https://support.google.com/a/answer/4579696?hl=en" target="_blank">Audit view</a> built into the admin console, Drive for Work also includes an Audit API that partners have used to build <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/07/advanced-security-for-google-drive-for.html" target="_blank">advanced insight and security extensions</a> like Data Loss Prevention (DLP). Other partners have built tools to help <a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/08/how-to-move-your-files-to-google-drive.html" target="_blank">move business content into Drive</a> from any location, including old file servers, local hard drives or other cloud storage products.<br /><br /><b>Keeping your work safe and available</b><br /><br />To help keep your work safe, all files uploaded to Google Drive will be encrypted, not only from your device to Google and in transit between Google data centers, but also at rest on Google servers. Our reliability engineers monitor Google’s systems 24x7 in order to quickly identify and address any issues that might arise.

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/AVvXsEjHHgSyjRZyJaT39fmOeSPE_9tavoYkNwtfo79tf6TA_Zygebk1PaBpkNcihENWq1VDo_BZeJoPv4SFnlxSxPUjwyILpcdN-gj0Ac7lRET-3VVkFKFJ7tLRTCZoXee9AIydDTmCUkqvs_g/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/AVvXsEjHHgSyjRZyJaT39fmOeSPE_9tavoYkNwtfo79tf6TA_Zygebk1PaBpkNcihENWq1VDo_BZeJoPv4SFnlxSxPUjwyILpcdN-gj0Ac7lRET-3VVkFKFJ7tLRTCZoXee9AIydDTmCUkqvs_g/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="//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="//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 /> <a href="https://www.google.com/work/apps/business/products/gmail/" target="_blank">Gmail</a> 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> </script> <noscript> <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.

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.

Xero started life as a small four person operation in New Zealand.

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="//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="//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="//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> </script> <noscript> <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.
