In fact, the majority of U.S. News & World Report’s top 100 universities use Google Apps.

At schools like <a href="https://www.georgetown.edu/" target="_blank">Georgetown University</a> (<a href="https://www.google.com/edu/case-studies/georgetown-university/" target="_blank">case study</a>), where Google is already the top choice of many students and faculty for email and collaboration, using Google Apps for Education for official school business was a painless transition.<br /> <br /> The high awareness of Google Apps, and its seamless integration with other systems, was also a deciding factor at <a href="https://www.ncsu.edu/" target="_blank">North Carolina State University</a> (<a href="https://www.google.com/edu/case-studies/north-carolina-state-university/index.html" target="_blank">case study</a>). “For the students, many of whom were already using Google, it really was a no-brainer,” says Sarah Noell, an assistant director in the school’s Office of Information Technology.<br /> <br /> <h3> Schoolwide solutions unify large campuses </h3> <br /> At the very largest universities, like the <a href="https://www.umich.edu/" target="_blank">University of Michigan</a> (<a href="https://www.google.com/edu/case-studies/university-of-michigan/" target="_blank">case study</a>) which has 43,000 students, separate schools and departments often choose their own email and collaboration tools — which means there’s no consistent way to share documents or manage email across the vast university community. With Google for Education, Michigan was able to unify all of its 19 schools under one collaborative solution. “When Google Apps for Education was introduced, there was a huge sigh of relief,” says Jeff Ringenberg, a faculty member in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science department. “Previously, it was very difficult for students and professors to keep their information synchronized.”<br /> <br /> <h3> Professors and students work anytime, anywhere </h3> <br /> Not only do schoolwide collaboration and productivity tools unify campuses, they make it easy to tap into course syllabi, reading lists and progress reports from professors. At <a href="https://www.brown.edu/" target="_blank">Brown University</a> (<a href="https://www.google.com/edu/case-studies/brown-university/index.html" target="_blank">case study</a>), moving from Microsoft Exchange to Google Apps meant students no longer needed to carry their laptops around – they were able to choose any device on campus or pull out their mobile phones and immediately be productive. “All you need is a web browser,” says Geoffrey Greene, Brown’s director of IT support. “It doesn’t matter if you’re on your PC at home or on your Chromebook at work; you can do anything from any machine, anywhere.”<br /> <br /> The students running Brown Market Shares, a food distribution program, use Google Drive to share meeting agendas and customer check-in sheets. “Using a Google Doc for our weekly meeting agendas, is useful because we can each add items to it before the meeting at any time of the day or night,” says Meagan Miller, an undergraduate student and Brown Market Shares’ communications coordinator.<br /> <br /> <h3> Security and privacy help research and learning flourish </h3> <br /> With anytime, anywhere access, students and teachers need assurance that their projects can only be accessed by their chosen colleagues. <a href="https://www.google.com/edu/case-studies/brown-university/index.html" target="_blank">Brown</a> decided to adopt Google for Education in part because the university needed to protect in-progress research while encouraging collaboration from the campus community. The <a href="http://www.utexas.edu/" target="_blank">University of Texas at Austin</a> made a similar choice: “What happens in the classroom should stay in the classroom,” says Christy Tran, a student intern working in CIO Brad Englert's group. “Students can trust that they’ll have a safe learning experience.”<br /> <br /> <h3> Better communication and feedback beyond the classroom </h3> <br /> At UT Austin, home to 51,000 students, it’s not easy for professors to touch base with all of their students face-to-face. Google Apps lets feedback happen outside of class time or office hours. “I may only see students in class three hours a week, but we’re working together and editing classwork all the time, even on weekends,” says Angela Newell, a faculty member of UT Austin’s McCombs School of Business. “It allows us to move projects along much faster, and we can increase camaraderie with students.”<br /> <br /> The University of Michigan’s Jeff Ringenberg collaborates with other teachers on his Electrical Engineering and Computer Science course syllabi and exams using Google Docs. “It eliminates the need to send thousands of versions back and forth,” he says. “We’ve streamlined the process of writing an exam, which frees me up to focus on communicating with students as opposed to generating content.”<br /> <br /> There are <a href="https://www.google.com/edu/case-studies/" target="_blank">many more stories</a> about colleges and universities that are are re-thinking the ways they learn and work.

We worked with teachers and students to create Classroom because they told us they needed a mission control – a central place for creating and tracking assignments, sharing ideas and resources, turning in completed work and exchanging feedback. Classroom is part of Google’s lineup of tools for education, which also includes the <a href="https://www.google.com/edu/products/productivity-tools/" target="_blank">Google Apps for Education</a> suite – now used by more than 50 million students, teachers and administrators around the world – and <a href="//google.com/edu/devices" target="_blank">Chromebook</a>s, the best-selling device in U.S. K-12 schools.<br /> <br /> Here are a few of the stories we’ve heard from teachers and students who are using Classroom.<br /> <br /> <h3> Learning better together </h3> <br /> We built Classroom to help educators spend less time on paperwork and administrative tasks. But it’s also proven to be highly effective at bringing students and teachers closer together. In London, fifth grader Kamal Nsudoh-Parish stays connected with his Spanish teacher while he does his homework. “If I don’t understand something, I can ask him and he’d be able to answer rather than having to wait until my next Spanish lesson,” Kamal says.<br /> <br /> Terri, who teaches sixth grade at Old River Elementary School, also observes that Classroom can strengthen ties and improve communication. “When a student doesn't turn something in, I can see how close they are,” she says. “In the past, I couldn't tell why they didn't finish their work. I was grading them on bringing back a piece of paper instead of what their ability was.”<br /> <br /> Resource room teacher Diane Basanese of Black River Middle School in Chester, New Jersey, says that Classroom lets her see her students’ minds at work. “I’m in the moment with them,” she explains. “We have dialogue, like, ‘Oh, are you saying I should use a transition?’ We’re talking to each other. It’s a better way.”<br /> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-apCIbV9YKA" width="640"></iframe><br /> <br /> <h3> Removing the mundane </h3> <br /> By helping them cut down on busywork, Classroom empowers teachers to do even more with every school day. “I no longer waste time figuring out paper jams at the school photocopier,” says Tom Mullaney, who teaches in Efland, North Carolina. “Absent students no longer email or ask, ‘What did we do yesterday?’ These time savers may not sound like much, but they free me to spend time on things that I consider transcendent in my teaching practice.”<br /> <br /> In Mexico City, teachers at Tec de Monterrey high school and university switched to Classroom from an online learning management system that often added complexity to their workflow instead of simplifying it.

We worked with teachers and students to create Classroom because they told us they needed a mission control – a central place for creating and tracking assignments, sharing ideas and resources, turning in completed work and exchanging feedback. Classroom is part of Google’s lineup of tools for education, which also includes the <a href="https://www.google.com/edu/products/productivity-tools/" target="_blank">Google Apps for Education</a> suite – now used by more than 50 million students, teachers and administrators around the world – and <a href="//google.com/edu/devices" target="_blank">Chromebook</a>s, the best-selling device in U.S. K-12 schools.<br /> <br /> Here are a few of the stories we’ve heard from teachers and students who are using Classroom.<br /> <br /> <h3> Learning better together </h3> <br /> We built Classroom to help educators spend less time on paperwork and administrative tasks. But it’s also proven to be highly effective at bringing students and teachers closer together. In London, fifth grader Kamal Nsudoh-Parish stays connected with his Spanish teacher while he does his homework. “If I don’t understand something, I can ask him and he’d be able to answer rather than having to wait until my next Spanish lesson,” Kamal says.<br /> <br /> Terri, who teaches sixth grade at Old River Elementary School, also observes that Classroom can strengthen ties and improve communication. “When a student doesn't turn something in, I can see how close they are,” she says. “In the past, I couldn't tell why they didn't finish their work. I was grading them on bringing back a piece of paper instead of what their ability was.”<br /> <br /> Resource room teacher Diane Basanese of Black River Middle School in Chester, New Jersey, says that Classroom lets her see her students’ minds at work. “I’m in the moment with them,” she explains. “We have dialogue, like, ‘Oh, are you saying I should use a transition?’ We’re talking to each other. It’s a better way.”<br /> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-apCIbV9YKA" width="640"></iframe><br /> <br /> <h3> Removing the mundane </h3> <br /> By helping them cut down on busywork, Classroom empowers teachers to do even more with every school day. “I no longer waste time figuring out paper jams at the school photocopier,” says Tom Mullaney, who teaches in Efland, North Carolina. “Absent students no longer email or ask, ‘What did we do yesterday?’ These time savers may not sound like much, but they free me to spend time on things that I consider transcendent in my teaching practice.”<br /> <br /> In Mexico City, teachers at Tec de Monterrey high school and university switched to Classroom from an online learning management system that often added complexity to their workflow instead of simplifying it. Professor Vicente Cubells says he’s found the new question feature in Classroom particularly useful for short quizzes, because he can quickly assess learning and have an automatic record of their responses and grades. “The Classroom mobile apps have also become essential for our faculty and students, we use them to stay connected even when we’re not in front of a laptop,” Cubells said.<br /> <br /> <h3> Giving teachers superpowers </h3> <br /> Teachers are some of the most innovative thinkers in the world, so it’s no surprise that they’ve used Classroom in ways we never even imagined.<br /> <br /> Elementary school teacher Christopher Conant of Boise, Idaho, says his students are usually eager to leave school behind during summer break.

The Salesforce marketing team put our heads together to decide how to announce <a href="http://www.salesforce.com/events/global-preview/" target="_blank">Salesforce Lightning</a> — a metadata-driven platform that is highly customizable, and empowers people to work faster and smarter — differently than previous product releases.

We chose <a href="https://www.salesforce.com/form/conf/events-global-preview.jsp" target="_blank">Google Hangouts to introduce Lightning</a>, so we could share this exciting announcement with our community of developers and users in 20 countries via live video. <br /> <br /> We chose Hangouts because we wanted to show our community that we’re committed to using innovative tools. We’d already been using Hangouts in a variety of ways, such as connecting with colleagues in different offices (and sending each other emojis) and hosting <a href="http://go.pardot.com/l/27572/2015-06-18/43ln15" target="_blank">webinars with our admin community</a>, so we knew it was a great choice to bring many people together from around the world. <br /> <br /> Whether it was 7 a.m. or midnight in their local timezone, people gathered at universities, community centers and local pubs to join the <a href="https://www.salesforce.com/form/conf/events-global-preview.jsp" target="_blank">product launch</a>. The day after our announcement, we also hosted a second private Hangout with over 200 people across Europe, the Middle East and Africa in case they missed the launch due to timing. These events created a deeper sense of camaraderie among an already strong community. We sent our community leaders a webcam and tripod, so it was easy and cost effective to get a group together since all they needed was an internet connection. Hangouts gave us the opportunity to encourage dialogue between admins, developers, partners and users in a fun and immediate way. <br /> <br /> Many companies measure the success of a product launch based on the press they receive or the number of website visits they get in a single day. We flipped that. Our goal was how could we involve our community and put our customers at the center of this launch. We defined success by the number of customers we involved. More than 19,000 people from our community, from Bangalore to Tokyo to New York City to Paris and hundreds of places in between, tuned in to join the launch.<br /> <br /> Our executives were floored when they saw people from all around the world on the screen. We overcame the language barrier by having translators onsite in some of the non-English speaking countries to make sure everyone felt included. We created a personal connection with customers who spoke different languages and brought together engineers, users, executives and the marketing team who have a common passion for our customers’ success. <br /> <br /> By focusing on forward-looking technology, we hosted an event that made more than 19,000 people feel like they were in the same room.

Many retailers see this as an art, but at Celect, we want to add science to this process. The answer lies in what we call the “Choice Engine,” which gathers data on what customers buy and don’t buy – instead of just simply finding out how they rate products they like. Think of the shopping process this way: If someone browses black shirts and red shirts online, but puts a blue shirt in the shopping cart, they’re giving you comparative information. Celect can take these choices and suggest which products a retailer should stock more or less of – as well as predict when price becomes a factor in a shopper’s purchase decision.<br /> <br /> My cofounder Vivek Farias and I, both professors at MIT, decided to put our brains together and see if we could bring our technology to the commercial market. We knew our technology was great, so we bootstrapped a team together – two professors, two engineers, and one person on the ground doing business development. Our biggest challenge was scaling our technology even though we had an extremely small development team. We didn’t want to run a system when we didn’t yet have clients.<br /> <br /> Fortunately for Celect, we met the criteria for <a href="https://cloud.google.com/developers/startups/" target="_blank">Google Cloud Platform for Startups</a>, giving us $100,000 in credit for Google Cloud Platform products and easy access to engineers and architects to help us make the most of our infrastructure. We quickly found out how good Google’s documentation is, which matters when you’re a startup that needs to move quickly. We get to tap into the expertise of people who’ve spent 10 years building cloud infrastructure, and they know it very well. The web user interface of <a href="https://cloud.google.com/storage/" target="_blank">Google Cloud Storage </a>is very intuitive to navigate, and gives us an overall view of the system and the resources in use. <br /> <br /> We run our workloads on <a href="https://cloud.google.com/compute/" target="_blank">Google Compute Engine</a>, which operates easily with our commodity Linux machines – another way we save money as a startup. Google Cloud Platform also gives us peace of mind about security. Retailers trust us with highly proprietary information, and they’re very sensitive to data breaches. When they hear we rely on Google, retailers know we’re adhering to strong security standards.<br /> <br /> Since we’re going after large retailers for our product, we need the scalability to store massive datasets. We can create new data stores in Google Cloud Platform so that every client’s data is siloed from the others. It’s the perfect on-demand infrastructure for a company like ours that needs to run lean for the first couple of years. <br /> <br /> At this stage in our growth, we want to make very efficient use of every dollar we spend. The past year has been very successful for us, with some great retailer brands signed on and a threefold growth in employees.

An activity generating app that started in Brisbane, Australia. Mitch Hills got his first taste for business when he started POGO Entertainment, an event production company, at age 17. He ran the business for more than two years while professionally DJing in Brisbane, Australia, then started his first technology venture at age 20. AroundAbout is a new activity-generating app powered by Google Maps APIs that helps people find interesting things to eat, drink and explore, whenever they want and wherever they are.

I love hospitality and wanted to create a curated place where people could find cool places and activities, with recommendations they could trust. Once I had the idea, I partnered with developers to make it a reality. Mapping is central to AroundAbout because the app visualises places for users to explore near them. We use the Google Maps iOS and Android APIs for our mobile apps. We chose Google because we wanted really accurate directions and a visually pleasing interface. <br /> <br /> <i><b>How would you describe the transition from DJing to starting your own tech company?</b></i><br /> <i><b><br /></b></i> The transition wasn’t difficult, per se, but business itself is difficult. Last year I read 22 books about entrepreneurship, finance and self-development, but reading can only prepare you so much. My background in entertainment was actually incredibly useful, both for building my network and for relating to people who use the app. As I see it, entertainment is about presentation and perception, and that’s useful in any industry. <br /> <br /> <i><b>What do you think it takes to build a successful app for younger people?</b></i><br /> <i><b><br /></b></i> Social media plays a huge role in this business, so we invest much of our energy in reaching out to people through social and PR. Young people are also more spontaneous, and we built the app to help feed that spontaneity. Young people also have lots of energy and can be interested in a lot of different things at once, so their tastes and needs can evolve quickly. You have to be constantly listening to what they want, where they’re looking for content and how they’re connecting with each other.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipNzdJuy9osLlhUHuJxhYZwdyMXskUvv8wP196iSuYLPUPIA7HTLUyOn556iYXjxSUBS9GruFPC3U3Qa4se2XzU6cYjulj28LaLtV9uUZGN0ozx4WkLiNJsMUrNnuCftviqYOJfHhTAV8/s1600/AroundAbout+2.png" 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/AVvXsEipNzdJuy9osLlhUHuJxhYZwdyMXskUvv8wP196iSuYLPUPIA7HTLUyOn556iYXjxSUBS9GruFPC3U3Qa4se2XzU6cYjulj28LaLtV9uUZGN0ozx4WkLiNJsMUrNnuCftviqYOJfHhTAV8/s640/AroundAbout+2.png" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> <br /> <i><b>How do you come up with new ideas?</b></i><br /> <i><b><br /></b></i> I get inspired by reading about or listening to experts, even if they aren't discussing something directly relevant to me.

I find that the best way to evolve an idea is to talk to people and see what they think. <br /> <br /> It’s not easy coming up with ideas that resonate with consumers, particularly in a competitive, fast-moving industry like entertainment. Mitch has an interesting problem: too many ideas and not enough time. For now he’s focusing on AroundAbout and bringing its service to more people by expanding beyond Australia. As for whether Mitch still DJs, he says, “Music will always play a large role in my life, but as much as I like the hospitality industry, I love creating businesses more.”</div> </script> <noscript> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <span class="byline-author">Posted by </span>Flora Wong, Head of Maps for Work Marketing Asia Pacific<br /> <br /> Today we speak with the founder of AroundAbout.

As for whether Mitch still DJs, he says, “Music will always play a large role in my life, but as much as I like the hospitality industry, I love creating businesses more.”</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/from-scratching-vinyl-to-starting-up-QA-with-Mitch-Hills-of-AroundAbout.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:From scratching vinyl to starting up: Q&A with Mitch Hills of AroundAbout&url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2015/10/from-scratching-vinyl-to-starting-up-QA-with-Mitch-Hills-of-AroundAbout.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/from-scratching-vinyl-to-starting-up-QA-with-Mitch-Hills-of-AroundAbout.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='1' data-onclick='' data-post-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2015/10/from-scratching-vinyl-to-starting-up-QA-with-Mitch-Hills-of-AroundAbout.html' data-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2015/10/from-scratching-vinyl-to-starting-up-QA-with-Mitch-Hills-of-AroundAbout.html' style='color: #4184F3;'></span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2015/10/from-scratching-vinyl-to-starting-up-QA-with-Mitch-Hills-of-AroundAbout.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%20for%20Work' rel='tag'> Google for Work </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Maps%20APIs' rel='tag'> Google Maps APIs </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Maps%20for%20Work' rel='tag'> Google Maps for Work </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='7096784137980336543' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2015/10/Haydenshapes-helps-surfers-catch-the-perfect-wave-with-Google-Apps.html' itemprop='url' title='Haydenshapes helps surfers catch the perfect wave with Google Apps'> Haydenshapes helps surfers catch the perfect wave with Google Apps </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> Wednesday, October 14, 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"> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Hayden Cox, founder and owner of Haydenshapes Surfboards and creator of FutureFlex technology</span> <br /> <br /> <i><b>Editor's note: </b>Today’s guest blogger is Hayden Cox, founder and owner of <a href="http://www.haydenshapes.com/" target="_blank">Haydenshapes Surfboards</a> and creator of <a href="http://www.haydenshapes.com/pages/futureflex-technology" target="_blank">FutureFlex technology</a>.

Today we're making it easier to use that smart account security by giving employees secure single sign on access to a wider set of SaaS and custom-built apps on desktop and mobile devices. We’re enhancing our OpenID Connect (OIDC) Identity Provider support that can already be used with many SaaS apps in the <a href="https://apps.google.com/marketplace/" target="_blank">Google Apps Marketplace</a>, and adding support for SAML 2.0 (Security Assertion Markup Language) for more than <a href="https://support.google.com/a/answer/6087519" target="_blank">15 popular SaaS providers</a>.

These can work in tandem with the increasing number of mobile security options, from hardware such as fingerprint readers, to software such as Google’s Smart Lock. Our <a href="https://get.google.com/smartlock/#for-work" target="_blank">Google Smart Lock</a> features are available to all Google Accounts including those used at work. And we provide identity services and <a href="https://support.google.com/a/answer/1734200?hl=en" target="_blank">mobile management</a> as part of Google Apps for Work at no additional cost.

We’re enhancing our OpenID Connect (OIDC) Identity Provider support that can already be used with many SaaS apps in the <a href="https://apps.google.com/marketplace/" target="_blank">Google Apps Marketplace</a>, and adding support for SAML 2.0 (Security Assertion Markup Language) for more than <a href="https://support.google.com/a/answer/6087519" target="_blank">15 popular SaaS providers</a>. We’re also making it easy for admins to add new <a href="https://support.google.com/a/answer/6087519" target="_blank">custom SAML app integrations</a>.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid6AeGfgVhGHQ40Y7DEIfcUwVoOcMnFCME2P5joyprDBaDY_tpK2_08RAPXLghAurZbWaK5qZpaZetP94VP0_4q3JxAK2no65v-9z-UvvQJvSMMx2S0mNuiWg-O6ct0h9jembuKojKxBE/s1600/Identity.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="226" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid6AeGfgVhGHQ40Y7DEIfcUwVoOcMnFCME2P5joyprDBaDY_tpK2_08RAPXLghAurZbWaK5qZpaZetP94VP0_4q3JxAK2no65v-9z-UvvQJvSMMx2S0mNuiWg-O6ct0h9jembuKojKxBE/s640/Identity.png" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> <br /> These single sign-on options help us address the growing demand for a central cloud based identity service and customers like Netflix are using Google’s identity services to make it easy for their employees to sign in to services.<br /> <br /> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> “At Netflix we leveraged Google’s OpenID Connect standards support as part of our migration to a 100% cloud based single sign on solution.” - Justin Slaten, Manager, Enterprise Technology & Client Systems at Netflix</blockquote> <br /> Google's identity services provide even more security on mobile when combined with Google Apps enterprise mobile management controls like password strength, lock screen requirements and app management. These can work in tandem with the increasing number of mobile security options, from hardware such as fingerprint readers, to software such as Google’s Smart Lock. Our <a href="https://get.google.com/smartlock/#for-work" target="_blank">Google Smart Lock</a> features are available to all Google Accounts including those used at work. And we provide identity services and <a href="https://support.google.com/a/answer/1734200?hl=en" target="_blank">mobile management</a> as part of Google Apps for Work at no additional cost. Learn more about how you can use Google identity services for work in our new <a href="http://services.google.com/fh/files/misc/v4_google_identity_takeaway.pdf" target="_blank">Identity whitepaper</a>.<br /> <br /> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> "Google Apps identity service has made single sign on to services we use every day like Salesforce and Zendesk much easier for end users, who save an hour per month; our support team, which has seen a 25% reduction in support tickets; and our IT team, which spends 20% less time on troubleshooting." - Vadmin Solovey, Founder & CTO, DoIT International</blockquote> <br /> Developers who don’t yet use single sign on to Google Accounts for work can follow our API guides in the <a href="https://developers.google.com/identity/#identity-platform-for-work" target="_blank">Google Identity Platform</a> documentation to enable these new features.<br /> <br /> Want to learn more about best practices in this space?
