Being the world’s largest carpet manufacturer and a leading floorcovering provider means sustainability isn’t just a moral or ethical imperative, it’s smart for business. More efficient supply chains produce better, lasting products with fewer costs. <br /> <br /> With offices and sales representatives across the United States and world, Shaw’s sales reach nearly $5 billion every year. Our growing business needed an even more efficient (and sustainable) way to bring daily operations into the digital age. So we turned to two powerful collaboration tools: Google Apps and Smartsheet. <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaDfqNqPmsjuc_zYMf6hn-FLF0BYCVGKWuiTZG2pqOoctsdraZCZq17AmxbN-PE_VR4Z28plF4ayPDVihhLluUVP_S8PLWXD5UCZYRc-KPTYApsVWBvebOoRDRaKJdFOY0wts2saYQaQ0/s1600/smartsheet.png" 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/AVvXsEhaDfqNqPmsjuc_zYMf6hn-FLF0BYCVGKWuiTZG2pqOoctsdraZCZq17AmxbN-PE_VR4Z28plF4ayPDVihhLluUVP_S8PLWXD5UCZYRc-KPTYApsVWBvebOoRDRaKJdFOY0wts2saYQaQ0/s640/smartsheet.png" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> <br /> In Smartsheet, we could make good use of the collaborative work management (CWM) platform that marries the power of a project and process management solutions suite to the familiar interface of a spreadsheet. And we saw Google Apps as an opportunity to improve efficiency and collaboration across teams. With a <a href="https://connect.googleforwork.com/docs/DOC-13150" target="_blank">strong working history</a>, the two work in tandem very well and together were exactly what we needed to achieve our digital transformation.<br /> <br /> <b>You mentioned the importance of supply chains for Shaw Industries. How did considerations around the supply chain impact your decision to switch to Google Apps and Smartsheet?</b><br /> <br /> Part of creating an efficient and sustainable supply chain is lowering overhead costs. The processes used to produce carpet and flooring at our various manufacturing facilities differed slightly from location to location. The many manufacturing divisions had common needs, but also their own unique challenges. Any solution would have to address these differences, while commonalities would cause overlap. It didn’t make sense to have different support teams for each process, especially if half of what the teams did was identical.<br /> <br /> Sharing plans and projects was also challenging. The systems we had in place were costly and time-consuming. We needed a way to increase visibility and update project statuses, not only for our team, but also for external parties like clients and vendors. <br /> <br /> <b>What results are you seeing now that you’re using Apps and Smartsheet?</b><br /> <br /> Turning to Google Apps’ collaborative tools was a positive first step. <a href="https://apps.google.com/products/drive/" target="_blank">Google Drive</a> allowed us to easily share documents and files both internally and externally. Documents could be instantly shared and jointly edited by employees around the world in real time. Plus, going paperless made our operations more ecologically friendly.<br /> <br /> Smartsheet’s suite of <a href="https://www.smartsheet.com/solution-center" target="_blank">project and process management solutions</a>, which feature Google Apps integration, further enhanced what Google already had to offer. Smartsheet offers great flexibility. With them, we can easily create templates that we can edit and customize to meet diverse needs. <br /> <br /> We also simplified project roll-ups — which were previously done by hand. Using cell linking, engineering managers could automate the process, saving time and effort, and automatic updates solved the problem of visibility that we struggled with. We could now easily share individual projects with stakeholders, both internal and external, ensuring that everyone was on the same page.<br /> <br /> Also, today our separate business units are able to build custom and individualized solutions on a strong foundation that addresses both common and distinct needs. Managers and engineers can automate processes that had previously been done by hand, spending more time and energy on devising ways to make our products better and longer-lasting. These new solutions are built using familiar interfaces and services that employees already know how to use.<br /> <br /> <b>Can you tell us about the process of adopting Smartsheet?</b><br /> <br /> Adopting Smartsheet was a simple transition because of its familiar spreadsheet-like GUI. We didn’t need additional software. Everything we needed could be done within the frameworks that Google and Smartsheet already offered. <br /> <br /> <b>So where does the company stand now in terms of its digital transformation?</b><br /> <br /> We’re definitely in the midst of transformation. <a href="https://www.smartsheet.com/product-tour/google-apps" target="_blank">With Smartsheet and Google solutions</a>, and their simplicity and the scalability that a worldwide enterprise like Shaw needs, we’ve reduced overhead and complexity and cut time spent on processes.

Our nominated Google Guides were a group of 65 champions across all our locations and departments – from night managers to head housekeepers – who helped kick-start our Google Apps for Work adoption. Their support and enthusiasm for the tools meant we could truly bring Google Apps for Work into every part of our business. <br /> <br /> Not only did they help us cut down old and unused data as part of the migration process (we have now almost halved our original 3 million files), they encouraged everyone to use the tools for creative solutions.

The logs are updated in real time and available on any device. <br /> <br /> It’s just over a year since we introduced Google Apps for Work, and in that time we’ve made so many apps-based ideas a reality – like our Manager of the Month initiative, where everyone votes using a Form. <br /> <br /> Our Google Guides, who were so central to our training and awareness a year ago, are still coming up with new suggestions all the time – it’s amazing how creative people can be. </div> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/07/top-UK-CIO-explains-how-to-create-5-star-digital-hotel-experience.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:Top UK CIO explains how to create a 5-star digital hotel experience&url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/07/top-UK-CIO-explains-how-to-create-5-star-digital-hotel-experience.html&via=gsuite'> <img alt='Share on Twitter' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_twitter_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='fb-custom social-wrapper' data-href='https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/07/top-UK-CIO-explains-how-to-create-5-star-digital-hotel-experience.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='0' data-onclick='' data-post-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/07/top-UK-CIO-explains-how-to-create-5-star-digital-hotel-experience.html' data-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/07/top-UK-CIO-explains-how-to-create-5-star-digital-hotel-experience.html' style='color: #4184F3;'></span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/07/top-UK-CIO-explains-how-to-create-5-star-digital-hotel-experience.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' rel='tag'> Google Drive </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Forms' rel='tag'> Google Forms </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='8587525488574570919' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/06/Azaveas-socially-minded-employees-work-collaboratively-together-using-Chrome-devices.html' itemprop='url' title='Azavea’s socially-minded employees work collaboratively together using Chrome devices'> Azavea’s socially-minded employees work collaboratively together using Chrome devices </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> Thursday, June 30, 2016 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Robert Cheetham, Founder and CEO, Azavea <br /> </span> <br /> <br /> <i><b>Editor's note:</b> Today we hear from Robert Cheetham, founder and CEO of Philadelphia-based geospatial web software and analysis firm Azavea.

One of the world’s top producers of sensors and microchips for the automotive industry, Melexis is expanding into new industries, with great success. Spread across 11 offices in nine countries, read how this truly global company uses Google Apps for Work to build its international team.<br /> </i> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://www.melexis.com/en" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9DjB2T1ODuQ958EG8VwBq2AJhAf4xyr-DSx5i8nXTiN6AWvvy2Wkjo73neG4HS5g8G4LfSjero1im2SZt6yxz2sx6IlJlPJJP3iPqYtu8ofq1I7Pbl_HBmR4xP96SWAfjI-Ayxi0TaSg/s400/melexis-4.png" width="400" /></a></div> There’s a good chance you’ve used one of our products without realising it. The sophisticated microchips we make are in everything from children’s ear thermometers, to airbags, to smartphones, to drones. And as the demand for microelectronics has grown, so has our business: Melexis shares are worth 20 times more now than when I started working here in 1999, and today we employ 1,200 staff worldwide in Belgium, Bulgaria, France, Germany, Switzerland, China, Malaysia, the Ukraine and the US. As early as 2010, we could see that this rapid expansion might lead to “silo thinking” that prevents outstanding engineers in different countries from working together effectively in a global team. That’s why Melexis management asked me to research alternatives to the open-source software we were using.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6psay_Fz5ic94t9bS6ttzGK6y8O1WDPcu4_zOa2tNrNItBGnYNyufFALeDhhaf74koMoqq6PWWuh1S6uszDutf_R5ECRE1za1oHG2F_37lGrWr0fq-4aOY7J4-FjKTTkpM1Z22Sx5VuU/s1600/melexis-2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="182" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6psay_Fz5ic94t9bS6ttzGK6y8O1WDPcu4_zOa2tNrNItBGnYNyufFALeDhhaf74koMoqq6PWWuh1S6uszDutf_R5ECRE1za1oHG2F_37lGrWr0fq-4aOY7J4-FjKTTkpM1Z22Sx5VuU/s640/melexis-2.png" width="640" /></a></div> I ranked five IT solutions on 25 criteria — including web accessibility, document sharing and OS compatibility — and Google Apps for Work came out on top. We bought 500 accounts and got ready to deploy them over 13 weeks. But after the first fortnight, I realised that Google Apps training was so straightforward I could ask a student working in my department to do it. He travelled the world for three months and trained the entire company.<br /> <br /> Google Apps improves staff satisfaction with their work environment and rewards teamwork. In the first quarter after we switched to <a href="https://apps.google.com/products/gmail/" target="_blank">Gmail</a>, the number of complaints about email dropped by 65%. No more spam or slow webmail, and <a href="https://apps.google.com/products/calendar/" target="_blank">Calendar</a> has ended confusion over meeting room bookings. Expansion is much easier, too; instead of having to install servers and data lines in every new office, all we need is an internet connection. Plus, we can expand without asking engineers to relocate, since as part of a virtual team, they can talk to colleagues anywhere in the world over <a href="https://apps.google.com/products/hangouts/" target="_blank">Hangouts</a> while working together on a shared document in <a href="https://apps.google.com/products/sheets/" target="_blank">Sheets</a>. And wherever we are, <a href="https://apps.google.com/products/drive/" target="_blank">Drive</a> saves time by letting colleagues work simultaneously on single documents — whether it’s our R&D teams collecting test data in Sheets, or the IT team preparing a presentation on <a href="https://apps.google.com/products/slides/" target="_blank">Slides</a> for our monthly meeting.<br /> <br /> Through my experience using Google Apps within our IT team, I understand how something as simple as face-to-face contact through Hangouts can make a team so much stronger. My IT Service Desk team is made up of eight people split over six locations, and we meet every two days on Hangouts to discuss work. I noticed that seeing each other so often created a relaxed and friendly dynamic that made it easier to share advice and help each other. <br /> <br /> At Melexis, we don’t just work hard, we play hard, too. Fun is part of our DNA, and three years ago, we invited everyone to take part in an international computer game LAN party. We’ve been doing it every year since, and it’s always a great opportunity to get to know each other across different locations. <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaswdZ4LxwOUUuzVcr_2yVwNloYcpdn2IqT2qPoB2zugg6xPG3OMZRn2JHB6PjPjmKWSyyop1p0eDBDXXIUwScJogfNXg3F2cF2-78xc7tcwJ6OxQqVT4U7lBd-9Opr_M62_F6DK46i6M/s1600/melexis-5.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaswdZ4LxwOUUuzVcr_2yVwNloYcpdn2IqT2qPoB2zugg6xPG3OMZRn2JHB6PjPjmKWSyyop1p0eDBDXXIUwScJogfNXg3F2cF2-78xc7tcwJ6OxQqVT4U7lBd-9Opr_M62_F6DK46i6M/s640/melexis-5.png" width="640" /></a></div> Google Apps makes these international LAN parties possible. Staff use Forms to sign up for some of the four or five games we’ll be playing in competition, and we organise times and equipment through a community on Google+. Presentations on Slides explain what we’re doing, and we use Sheets to keep score.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIi5xaDPB-M6UrCaOreZmXE0r8JIxqVcOFFqYd9Z1scRrX8XIhIvGbmh-XPa_SWD0WqbcLZPeSGNPw-zXZqJpqLYT6xMlY7FMUKwTINn7PNJilFHz4d4X0zNY-c3pA5FaA45tnF72adVs/s1600/melexis-3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="472" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIi5xaDPB-M6UrCaOreZmXE0r8JIxqVcOFFqYd9Z1scRrX8XIhIvGbmh-XPa_SWD0WqbcLZPeSGNPw-zXZqJpqLYT6xMlY7FMUKwTINn7PNJilFHz4d4X0zNY-c3pA5FaA45tnF72adVs/s640/melexis-3.png" width="640" /></a></div> The party starts at 6pm on a Friday. In each office, staff decorate a room, put on fancy dress, and set up a Hangout between all the offices, even our senior leaders get dressed up and take part!

One of the world’s top producers of sensors and microchips for the automotive industry, Melexis is expanding into new industries, with great success. Spread across 11 offices in nine countries, read how this truly global company uses Google Apps for Work to build its international team.<br /> </i> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://www.melexis.com/en" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9DjB2T1ODuQ958EG8VwBq2AJhAf4xyr-DSx5i8nXTiN6AWvvy2Wkjo73neG4HS5g8G4LfSjero1im2SZt6yxz2sx6IlJlPJJP3iPqYtu8ofq1I7Pbl_HBmR4xP96SWAfjI-Ayxi0TaSg/s400/melexis-4.png" width="400" /></a></div> There’s a good chance you’ve used one of our products without realising it. The sophisticated microchips we make are in everything from children’s ear thermometers, to airbags, to smartphones, to drones. And as the demand for microelectronics has grown, so has our business: Melexis shares are worth 20 times more now than when I started working here in 1999, and today we employ 1,200 staff worldwide in Belgium, Bulgaria, France, Germany, Switzerland, China, Malaysia, the Ukraine and the US. As early as 2010, we could see that this rapid expansion might lead to “silo thinking” that prevents outstanding engineers in different countries from working together effectively in a global team. That’s why Melexis management asked me to research alternatives to the open-source software we were using.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6psay_Fz5ic94t9bS6ttzGK6y8O1WDPcu4_zOa2tNrNItBGnYNyufFALeDhhaf74koMoqq6PWWuh1S6uszDutf_R5ECRE1za1oHG2F_37lGrWr0fq-4aOY7J4-FjKTTkpM1Z22Sx5VuU/s1600/melexis-2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="182" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6psay_Fz5ic94t9bS6ttzGK6y8O1WDPcu4_zOa2tNrNItBGnYNyufFALeDhhaf74koMoqq6PWWuh1S6uszDutf_R5ECRE1za1oHG2F_37lGrWr0fq-4aOY7J4-FjKTTkpM1Z22Sx5VuU/s640/melexis-2.png" width="640" /></a></div> I ranked five IT solutions on 25 criteria — including web accessibility, document sharing and OS compatibility — and Google Apps for Work came out on top. We bought 500 accounts and got ready to deploy them over 13 weeks. But after the first fortnight, I realised that Google Apps training was so straightforward I could ask a student working in my department to do it. He travelled the world for three months and trained the entire company.<br /> <br /> Google Apps improves staff satisfaction with their work environment and rewards teamwork. In the first quarter after we switched to <a href="https://apps.google.com/products/gmail/" target="_blank">Gmail</a>, the number of complaints about email dropped by 65%. No more spam or slow webmail, and <a href="https://apps.google.com/products/calendar/" target="_blank">Calendar</a> has ended confusion over meeting room bookings. Expansion is much easier, too; instead of having to install servers and data lines in every new office, all we need is an internet connection. Plus, we can expand without asking engineers to relocate, since as part of a virtual team, they can talk to colleagues anywhere in the world over <a href="https://apps.google.com/products/hangouts/" target="_blank">Hangouts</a> while working together on a shared document in <a href="https://apps.google.com/products/sheets/" target="_blank">Sheets</a>. And wherever we are, <a href="https://apps.google.com/products/drive/" target="_blank">Drive</a> saves time by letting colleagues work simultaneously on single documents — whether it’s our R&D teams collecting test data in Sheets, or the IT team preparing a presentation on <a href="https://apps.google.com/products/slides/" target="_blank">Slides</a> for our monthly meeting.<br /> <br /> Through my experience using Google Apps within our IT team, I understand how something as simple as face-to-face contact through Hangouts can make a team so much stronger. My IT Service Desk team is made up of eight people split over six locations, and we meet every two days on Hangouts to discuss work. I noticed that seeing each other so often created a relaxed and friendly dynamic that made it easier to share advice and help each other. <br /> <br /> At Melexis, we don’t just work hard, we play hard, too. Fun is part of our DNA, and three years ago, we invited everyone to take part in an international computer game LAN party. We’ve been doing it every year since, and it’s always a great opportunity to get to know each other across different locations. <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaswdZ4LxwOUUuzVcr_2yVwNloYcpdn2IqT2qPoB2zugg6xPG3OMZRn2JHB6PjPjmKWSyyop1p0eDBDXXIUwScJogfNXg3F2cF2-78xc7tcwJ6OxQqVT4U7lBd-9Opr_M62_F6DK46i6M/s1600/melexis-5.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaswdZ4LxwOUUuzVcr_2yVwNloYcpdn2IqT2qPoB2zugg6xPG3OMZRn2JHB6PjPjmKWSyyop1p0eDBDXXIUwScJogfNXg3F2cF2-78xc7tcwJ6OxQqVT4U7lBd-9Opr_M62_F6DK46i6M/s640/melexis-5.png" width="640" /></a></div> Google Apps makes these international LAN parties possible. Staff use Forms to sign up for some of the four or five games we’ll be playing in competition, and we organise times and equipment through a community on Google+.

In each office, staff decorate a room, put on fancy dress, and set up a Hangout between all the offices, even our senior leaders get dressed up and take part!

Learn how Fifth Manhattan switched to <a href="https://www.google.com/work/chrome/devices/device-gallery/" target="_blank">Chromeboxes</a> for a simpler, more affordable desktop computer solution.</i><br /> <i><br /></i> When I joined <a href="http://www.fmpay.com/" target="_blank">Fifth Manhattan</a> as president in 2014, I wanted to expand our customer base. We provide credit card payment processing services for small to medium-sized businesses and help them cut costs, increase revenue and provide a higher level of customer service. Big nationwide retail chains have substantial marketing budgets, but your local Italian restaurant and auto body shop don’t. That’s where we come in. <br /> <br /> One of my first orders of business was to upgrade our aging fleet of desktop computers. The team needed simple, easy to use computers with web access, so we decided to buy one <a href="https://www.google.com/work/chrome/devices/device-gallery/" target="_blank">Chromebox</a> and try it out. We were astonished by how simple it was to set up and deploy. After the pilot, we bought Chromeboxes with <a href="https://www.google.com/work/chrome/management-console/" target="_blank">Chrome device management</a> licenses for each of our 30 employees. Since then, we’ve given a Chromebox to each new hire. <br /> <br /> Because of Chrome, we no longer need a traditional IT help desk. Fifth Manhattan has six full-time IT staff members, but they focus on building and managing our internal CRM platform. Before Chrome, they spent hours every week troubleshooting computer crashes. Today, they spend less time managing Chrome and deploying new devices and more time on their core responsibilities. Since we switched to Chromeboxes, we’ve only had one issue with a device — and it was a hardware malfunction, no fault of Chrome. <br /> <br /> As a payment processing company, we deal with highly sensitive data like bank account information and social security numbers, so security is critical. We’re required to maintain compliance with PCI regulations governing customer data. As part of this, we limit the number of employees who have access to sensitive internal data and monitor all usage carefully to avoid breaches. Chrome makes this easier to do. Administrators can set up different “organizations,” or teams so they can create customized settings for each team to limit which applications they can access. For example, our telesales team only need to use our web-based CRM tool, so we limit their usage to that, while account managers need access to their Chrome web browser and applications like Gmail and an e-signature solution. In addition, we can turn off incognito mode and disable saving to external flash drives. These settings help us control employee access so we can prevent data breaches and leaks. <br /> <br /> Fifth Manhattan employees are now able to work remotely, thanks to <a href="//www.google.com/chromebook/" target="_blank">Chromebooks</a> and <a href="https://apps.google.com/" target="_blank">Google Apps</a>. We have five extra managed Chromebooks for employees to use if they’re unable to come into the office because of travel, parental leave or bad weather. As president, I travel often for customer meetings. My Chromebook lasts for more than eight hours, which comes in handy during cross-country flights and long meetings. I can even access my desktop applications remotely from my Chromebook using <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/chrome-remote-desktop/gbchcmhmhahfdphkhkmpfmihenigjmpp" target="_blank">Chrome remote desktop</a>.<br /> <br /> When I joined Fifth Manhattan, I wanted to grow our payment processing business into a thriving enterprise.

Google Chrome has helped me scale the business from 35 employees to 100 in two years and makes it easier for everyone to focus on their work, not IT. </div> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/06/payment-processing-company-Fifth-Manhattan-switches-to-secure-easy-to-use-Chromebox-desktops_23.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:Payment processing company Fifth Manhattan switches to secure, easy-to-use Chromebox desktops&url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/06/payment-processing-company-Fifth-Manhattan-switches-to-secure-easy-to-use-Chromebox-desktops_23.html&via=gsuite'> <img alt='Share on Twitter' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_twitter_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='fb-custom social-wrapper' data-href='https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/06/payment-processing-company-Fifth-Manhattan-switches-to-secure-easy-to-use-Chromebox-desktops_23.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/2016/06/payment-processing-company-Fifth-Manhattan-switches-to-secure-easy-to-use-Chromebox-desktops_23.html' data-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/06/payment-processing-company-Fifth-Manhattan-switches-to-secure-easy-to-use-Chromebox-desktops_23.html' style='color: #4184F3;'></span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/06/payment-processing-company-Fifth-Manhattan-switches-to-secure-easy-to-use-Chromebox-desktops_23.html' data-viewtype='FILTERED_POSTMOD'></div> <a href='https://plus.google.com/112374322230920073195' rel='author' style='display:none;'> Google </a> <div class='label-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'> Labels: </span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Chrome%20for%20Work' rel='tag'> Chrome for Work </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Chromebox%20for%20meetings' rel='tag'> Chromebox for meetings </a> , <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> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='8321646635948758954' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/06/how-BlackDog-Advertising-marries-technology-and-design-with-Chrome.html' itemprop='url' title='How BlackDog Advertising marries technology and design with Chrome'> How BlackDog Advertising marries technology and design with Chrome </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> Monday, June 20, 2016 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <span class="byline-author">Posted by John W.

We have two exciting announcements to share <span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">—</span> new experiences we’re adding to the Google Apps suite, with Search and Sites.<br /> <br /> It’s no secret that the growth of information inside the enterprise continues to accelerate. In fact, today the average knowledge worker spends the equivalent of one full day a week searching for and gathering information.<sup>1</sup><br /> <br /> <h3 style="text-align: left;"> Google Springboard puts the right information at your fingertips</h3> Google is no stranger to helping enterprise customers sort through their corporate information and making it more useful for employees. We’ve been a <a href="http://googlepress.blogspot.com/2003/09/industry-leaders-adopt-google-corporate.html" target="_blank">leader in Enterprise Search for nearly 15 years</a> and have partnered with some of the largest companies in the world. As we continue to invest in applying technologies like machine intelligence to power our web search engine, we’re working on a new way to bring all of this power to the enterprise: Google Springboard. <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgf1G4xjwkTCtoeT4AFfB_3s6vhNQQ5HlucVxp8b9MTrLSnG9BvbBrV6lsd9FwJ9TsVKMfeQu8x-JkWT9vXAfa7RIG75fAniqVHgj7Gyf7VhdjtN9h_dWIbk0emSx0eSE_A3iSE59xJH88/s1600/google-springboard.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="358" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgf1G4xjwkTCtoeT4AFfB_3s6vhNQQ5HlucVxp8b9MTrLSnG9BvbBrV6lsd9FwJ9TsVKMfeQu8x-JkWT9vXAfa7RIG75fAniqVHgj7Gyf7VhdjtN9h_dWIbk0emSx0eSE_A3iSE59xJH88/s640/google-springboard.png" width="640" /></a></div> Google Springboard helps you find the right information that you need at the moment that you need it. It searches quickly and easily across all of your information in Google Apps including Gmail, Calendar, Docs, Drive, Contacts and more. Springboard also assists you throughout your workday by proactively providing useful and actionable information and recommendations.<br /> <br /> <h3 style="text-align: left;"> A totally rebuilt Google Sites</h3> Google Sites is one of the most popular products among our enterprise customers, and we’ve been working on an update that makes it even easier for employees to share information within their company.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZPtwrZ0lZKu4OEFn3b23DXjqsGLqahKewCLuJZT2ZrglFa-WhFXT8TrIT5YdLk_hn24a3MWuzRH_lGYy2e5D6hTW9B2EbxdSOgVvCSaIHvApSsGK_-uQfH3-U-1Tw_SROyrT0P690fWo/s1600/google-sites.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="324" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZPtwrZ0lZKu4OEFn3b23DXjqsGLqahKewCLuJZT2ZrglFa-WhFXT8TrIT5YdLk_hn24a3MWuzRH_lGYy2e5D6hTW9B2EbxdSOgVvCSaIHvApSsGK_-uQfH3-U-1Tw_SROyrT0P690fWo/s640/google-sites.png" width="640" /></a></div> With the new Google Sites, you can build beautiful, functional pages to aggregate and distribute content across your enterprise, optimized for every screen. A new intuitive drag-and-drop design experience supports real-time collaboration by multiple editors, just like in Docs, and offers easy access to all your content from Calendar, Docs, Drive, Maps and more.

We have two exciting announcements to share <span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">—</span> new experiences we’re adding to the Google Apps suite, with Search and Sites.<br /> <br /> It’s no secret that the growth of information inside the enterprise continues to accelerate. In fact, today the average knowledge worker spends the equivalent of one full day a week searching for and gathering information.<sup>1</sup><br /> <br /> <h3 style="text-align: left;"> Google Springboard puts the right information at your fingertips</h3> Google is no stranger to helping enterprise customers sort through their corporate information and making it more useful for employees. We’ve been a <a href="http://googlepress.blogspot.com/2003/09/industry-leaders-adopt-google-corporate.html" target="_blank">leader in Enterprise Search for nearly 15 years</a> and have partnered with some of the largest companies in the world. As we continue to invest in applying technologies like machine intelligence to power our web search engine, we’re working on a new way to bring all of this power to the enterprise: Google Springboard. <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgf1G4xjwkTCtoeT4AFfB_3s6vhNQQ5HlucVxp8b9MTrLSnG9BvbBrV6lsd9FwJ9TsVKMfeQu8x-JkWT9vXAfa7RIG75fAniqVHgj7Gyf7VhdjtN9h_dWIbk0emSx0eSE_A3iSE59xJH88/s1600/google-springboard.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="358" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgf1G4xjwkTCtoeT4AFfB_3s6vhNQQ5HlucVxp8b9MTrLSnG9BvbBrV6lsd9FwJ9TsVKMfeQu8x-JkWT9vXAfa7RIG75fAniqVHgj7Gyf7VhdjtN9h_dWIbk0emSx0eSE_A3iSE59xJH88/s640/google-springboard.png" width="640" /></a></div> Google Springboard helps you find the right information that you need at the moment that you need it. It searches quickly and easily across all of your information in Google Apps including Gmail, Calendar, Docs, Drive, Contacts and more. Springboard also assists you throughout your workday by proactively providing useful and actionable information and recommendations.<br /> <br /> <h3 style="text-align: left;"> A totally rebuilt Google Sites</h3> Google Sites is one of the most popular products among our enterprise customers, and we’ve been working on an update that makes it even easier for employees to share information within their company.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZPtwrZ0lZKu4OEFn3b23DXjqsGLqahKewCLuJZT2ZrglFa-WhFXT8TrIT5YdLk_hn24a3MWuzRH_lGYy2e5D6hTW9B2EbxdSOgVvCSaIHvApSsGK_-uQfH3-U-1Tw_SROyrT0P690fWo/s1600/google-sites.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="324" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZPtwrZ0lZKu4OEFn3b23DXjqsGLqahKewCLuJZT2ZrglFa-WhFXT8TrIT5YdLk_hn24a3MWuzRH_lGYy2e5D6hTW9B2EbxdSOgVvCSaIHvApSsGK_-uQfH3-U-1Tw_SROyrT0P690fWo/s640/google-sites.png" width="640" /></a></div> With the new Google Sites, you can build beautiful, functional pages to aggregate and distribute content across your enterprise, optimized for every screen. A new intuitive drag-and-drop design experience supports real-time collaboration by multiple editors, just like in Docs, and offers easy access to all your content from Calendar, Docs, Drive, Maps and more. The new Sites also includes themes and layouts designed to scale and flex to any screen size, so they’re as useful when you access them on the 30-inch monitor at your desk or your smartphone on your commute.<br /> <br /> <h3 style="text-align: left;"> Ready for early adopters</h3> We’ve been previewing Google Springboard and the new Google Sites with a small set of customers, and we’re excited to begin to extend each of these new apps to more customers through an Early Adopter Program.

Read why they chose Google Apps as the IT infrastructure behind their rapid expansion.<br /> </i> <br /> <br /> When Travix started out in 2011, it was through the merger of three companies. We gained strength from that diversity, but we also inherited three corporate IT systems. So the first thing the CEO asked me to do when I joined was to find one system we could use across the whole company. He recommended Microsoft Office 365, but implementing it was more demanding than anyone had expected. Months into the process, I went back to him with a realistic projection of the time and resources necessary to finish the rollout, and a recommendation that we put the project on hold. The hunt began for alternatives. That’s where Google Apps came in.<br /> <br /> Google Apps is perfectly suited for an expanding global business. We have offices in Amsterdam, Oosterhout, Berlin, Bangalore, Singapore, California and London, and in all of these places, Office 365 required infrastructure modifications before implementation. By contrast, Google Apps was ready to go right out of the box. <br /> <br /> Our corporate IT systems need to be quick, reliable and safe, with a minimum of costs and management overhead. Google Apps costs less to implement, less to maintain and allows greater contractual flexibility than Office 365. Because Google Apps is also entirely cloud based, we don’t need to install servers, as recommended in the hybrid server-cloud Office 365 solution. In fact, Google Apps allowed the decommissioning of 10 existing servers, each of which is priced at $3,000.<br /> <br /> Rolling out Google Apps took just six weeks. <a href="http://www.gcompany.nl/" target="_blank">g-company</a> led training with one-on-one sessions for executives, small workshops for staff and even presentations over Hangouts for our Bangalore team.

After setting up our systems engineers on Google Apps, I sent out a <a href="https://apps.google.com/products/forms/" target="_blank">Form</a> for people to register as ambassadors and the response was overwhelming: 104 people signed up for 50 positions. This was a clear sign for us that our people were willing to embrace this change and make this transition work.<br /> <br /> At Travix, we already worked with other Google products in particular fields, like Google Analytics and Google Adwords in marketing and <a href="https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/" target="_blank">Google BigQuery</a> and <a href="http://kubernetes.io/" target="_blank">kubernetes</a> in engineering.

Keeping track of new merchant product launches can get complicated, but Google Apps helps ease the coordination process. For example, we often need to schedule last minute meetings to review products that we want to feature at the start of every day. We use <a href="https://apps.google.com/products/calendar/" target="_blank">Calendar</a> to find meeting times that fit our schedules, <a href="https://apps.google.com/products/drive/" target="_blank">Drive</a> to share product launch proposals and <a href="https://apps.google.com/products/sheets/" target="_blank">Sheets</a> to manage product launch timelines. Since Google Apps tools are designed to work and integrate smoothly with one another, running these meetings is a seamless process. We’ve used it heavily since we started the company, and the tools have been vital to our productivity and growth.<br /> <br /> <h3 style="text-align: left;"> Growing with Google </h3> With a quickly growing merchant partnership base, we’ve found it increasingly important to keep track of all potential vendors and new interactions. Working with thousands of merchants and even more products, we needed a CRM solution to help scale this part of our business. <br /> <br /> Since we were already using Gmail, Calendar, Sheets, Contacts and Drive for most of our operations, we saw ProsperWorks as an effective CRM solution, given how integrated it is with Google’s entire ecosystem of apps.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1Mj_MIYI4NuwpM-KfqgVHA48aLUNONW5xize-wot_kPBC0pPKpYoxX05VmMofdu27H9f_BmT9CU6WSOYQj01n7ir7x-YMLsD8h_MGr3vKpyVLSEN0csKYbDlSVebGQzizITbjBP6ixo0/s1600/fancy1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="368" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1Mj_MIYI4NuwpM-KfqgVHA48aLUNONW5xize-wot_kPBC0pPKpYoxX05VmMofdu27H9f_BmT9CU6WSOYQj01n7ir7x-YMLsD8h_MGr3vKpyVLSEN0csKYbDlSVebGQzizITbjBP6ixo0/s640/fancy1.png" width="640" /></a></div> <h3 style="text-align: left;"> ProsperWorks with Gmail and Calendar </h3> After we integrated the ProsperWorks Chrome extension — which only took a few short hours — our brand development team began using it immediately. They used ProsperWorks to track communications and interactions with merchants in Gmail and identify items that required follow-up. We saw an increase in our team’s productivity and growth in our brand partner network that we directly attributed to this integration.<br /> <br /> With easy-to-use and intuitive tools from ProsperWorks, we experienced a significant increase in the number of merchant partnership deals closed due to the ability to better track customers and share real-time information that helped us close deals.<br /> <br /> <h3 style="text-align: left;"> ProsperWorks with Drive and Sheets</h3> In addition to the benefits for our brand development team, our executive team gained tremendous insight through ProsperWorks reporting capabilities, which work perfectly with Sheets. ProsperWorks' integration with Sheets allowed our brand development team to simply aggregate, organize and visualize our sales in a single dashboard. This gave us immediate access to important insights, such as those gleaned from comparing pipelines by stage, opportunity assessments, customer types, team workload, monthly team progress and even the status of our leads. We were able to get a bird’s eye view of all our sales pipelines without leaving Google Apps. <br /> <br /> Using ProsperWorks with Drive gave us insight into product category gaps that we weren’t pursuing and showed us categories that had more partners than we needed. With ProsperWorks, we were able to easily identify these areas and refine our focus to develop partnerships that would expand our reach into new categories while reducing time spent on categories we had already built out. <br /> <br /> <h3 style="text-align: left;"> Optimizing our brand management team with ProsperWorks and Google Apps for Work </h3> On the ground level, our brand management team used ProsperWorks as a way to communicate, manage workflow, manage and assign tasks, share documents and more. Our brand development team has thousands of interactions daily across Gmail, Calendar and Hangouts, and it’s really helpful that on ProsperWorks, the profiles and status of each lead are automatically updated so that every email exchange, event and file is easily accessible by any team member. <br /> <br /> Using Google Apps alongside ProsperWorks has helped us optimize the processes of our brand development team and make better decisions faster, which definitely gives us an edge over our competition. </div> </script> <noscript> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Paul Hsu, Chief Operating Officer at Fancy</span> <br /> <br /> <i><b>Editor's note:</b> Today we hear from Paul Hsu, Chief Operating Officer at <a href="https://fancy.com/" target="_blank">Fancy,</a> which uses Google Apps with ProsperWorks CRM to help manage merchant partnerships, gain transparency into sales team activity and optimize their internal processes. <a href="https://lp.google-mkto.com/HoA-registration-page.html" target="_blank">Register here</a> to join our Hangout on Air on June 14 at 9 a.m. to learn more about how ProsperWorks, a <a href="http://googleforwork.blogspot.com/2015/11/strengthening-the-Google-Apps-ecosystem_3.html" target="_blank">Google recommended app</a>, can improve your business.</i> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf0LOfGVsFWY2rBE6dR0xgUig8k2mJWMK3MMVesX-Mtxlhx5RqJtEitv3Kx-UkecU5RrUQZxChX1xC4Y_gN49xukfSpMW00nkInlikalr532Ic_UX5aIlfcqOJfbm9tYQpPsXIlFm7ZdE/s1600/fancy2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="346" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf0LOfGVsFWY2rBE6dR0xgUig8k2mJWMK3MMVesX-Mtxlhx5RqJtEitv3Kx-UkecU5RrUQZxChX1xC4Y_gN49xukfSpMW00nkInlikalr532Ic_UX5aIlfcqOJfbm9tYQpPsXIlFm7ZdE/s640/fancy2.png" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> Fancy, the place to discover, engage with and buy goods from top brands, works with trendsetters and tastemakers to curate thousands of goods. Keeping track of new merchant product launches can get complicated, but Google Apps helps ease the coordination process. For example, we often need to schedule last minute meetings to review products that we want to feature at the start of every day. We use <a href="https://apps.google.com/products/calendar/" target="_blank">Calendar</a> to find meeting times that fit our schedules, <a href="https://apps.google.com/products/drive/" target="_blank">Drive</a> to share product launch proposals and <a href="https://apps.google.com/products/sheets/" target="_blank">Sheets</a> to manage product launch timelines. Since Google Apps tools are designed to work and integrate smoothly with one another, running these meetings is a seamless process.

My colleague Will Triantos, our Global Google Technical Lead, not only administers the entire platform for 1,000 staff in eight offices, he’s also constantly creating new ways of using Google Apps to improve work at BBH. Fast, friendly and comprehensive support from Cloud Technology Solutions (<a href="https://www.cloudsolutions.co.uk/" target="_blank">CTS</a>) means all the advice we need is always on-hand.

To take a simple example, before new BBH staff arrive at the office, they fill in a Form on Sites that connects to a Sheet in HR, so we have all their details in advance. And at the building entrance they sign-in to a Form on a tablet that emails reception, so the right person can be there to meet them. Small things like that add up, make a great impression and prove that cutting admin in one area frees creative thinking elsewhere.</div> </script> <noscript> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Andy Coppin, Operations Director at Bartle Bogle Hegarty</span><br /> <br /> <i><b>Editor's note:</b> Today we hear from Andy Coppin, Operations Director at Bartle Bogle Hegarty, a global advertising agency based in London.

In that time I’ve seen the technology we use evolve immensely. When I first started, the company had standard desktops and a legacy IT system. Since then, we’ve shifted from clunky hardware and software to “lightweight enterprise” — prioritizing convenient, immediate access and ease of use.<br /> <br /> Our CEO, Tim Armstrong, believes that if you keep doing things the same way, you’ll continue to get the same results. We take this philosophy seriously when it comes to our technology. Our global Chief Technology Officer, William Pence, provided clear vision for modern, cloud-based, and forward looking technologies, which propelled our investment and focus in this space. When we decided to start using <a href="https://apps.google.com/" target="_blank">Google Apps</a>, we were most interested in unifying and improving how we work together across teams — especially between AOL’s different entities.<br /> <br /> In recent years, we’ve completed many acquisitions (think Huffington Post, TechCrunch, and the integration of Verizon’s Digital Media Services to name a few). Having Google Apps during the period of potential confusion and chaos has helped us perform due diligence activities even quicker. <br /> <br /> We started exploring Google Apps in 2010 and chose it over Office 365 because Microsoft required us to staff a whole team to manage SharePoint and its infrastructure. We also realized that adoption of Google Apps would be easier and more cost effective because of Google’s reputation for ease of use and the familiarity many of our employees already had with its tools.<br /> <br /> Over the course of six months, we unified 13 domains into one with help from a third-party integrator to move from Microsoft Exchange to Google. From a set-up perspective, it took about two to three weeks to get everyone up and running with local peer (i.e., collaboration champions) and IT helpdesk support. Employees immediately started sharing their favorite Apps “hacks” with colleagues (for example, we use <a href="https://apps.google.com/products/forms/" target="_blank">Google Forms</a> for invite submissions, which alerts employees when events are filled and creates a culture of excitement and inclusion). <br /> <br /> As a result, we were able to decommission 18 of our 22 globally distributed Messaging servers (more than 80 percent), eliminating 130 terabytes (TB) of drive space needs. We’re also migrating on-premise file shares into Google Apps, which will allow us to reallocate another 120 TB of file storage.<br /> <br /> I led the initiative for company-wide adoption of <a href="https://apps.google.com/products/drive/" target="_blank">Google Drive</a>, <a href="https://apps.google.com/products/docs/" target="_blank">Docs</a> and <a href="https://apps.google.com/products/hangouts/" target="_blank">Hangouts</a>, and the entire company has been fully migrated since February 2015. With recent acquisitions, we've quickly integrated our collaboration tools to maintain focus on business value and production.<br /> <br /> In terms of security (such as granting and denying access to data as needed), we’ve reduced costs. When you’re working in the cloud, there’s no need to bring on a third-party vendor to ensure data is secure. Moving away from premise-based solutions has provided us the flexibility to decrease our acquisition integration timeline from a messaging and collaboration perspective. We’re now able to offer the services of companies we acquire the same day that a deal is signed.<br /> <br /> In certain instances, the collaboration capabilities of Google Apps enabled quicker time to market for our products. For example, the content and assets for each morning’s AOL homepage is queued up in real time on Drive.

With Apps, our employees are productive from anywhere — whether it’s on AOL’s campus or on the network — and connected as a unified team.</div> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/05/after-busy-MA-activity-AOL-unifies-with-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:After busy M&A activity, AOL unifies with Google Apps&url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/05/after-busy-MA-activity-AOL-unifies-with-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/2016/05/after-busy-MA-activity-AOL-unifies-with-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='5' data-onclick='' data-post-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/05/after-busy-MA-activity-AOL-unifies-with-Google-Apps.html' data-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/05/after-busy-MA-activity-AOL-unifies-with-Google-Apps.html' style='color: #4184F3;'></span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/05/after-busy-MA-activity-AOL-unifies-with-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%20Docs' rel='tag'> Google Docs </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Drive' rel='tag'> Google Drive </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%20Forms' rel='tag'> Google Forms </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Hangouts' rel='tag'> Google Hangouts </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='8493937735505048769' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/05/how-Mimeo-moves-fast-as-a-global-company-using-Google-Apps.html' itemprop='url' title='How Mimeo moves fast as a global company using Google Apps'> How Mimeo moves fast as a global company using Google Apps </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> Monday, May 23, 2016 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Doug Bohaboy, VP of Marketing, <a href="https://www.mimeo.com/" target="_blank">Mimeo</a><br /> </span> <br /> <br /> <i><b>Editor's note:</b> Today we hear from Doug Bohaboy of <a href="https://www.mimeo.com/" target="_blank">Mimeo</a>, a content distribution and digital printing company based in New York City. Learn how Google Apps helped Mimeo deliver at breakneck speed while keeping its employees connected.<br /> </i> <br /> <br /> When I first started at Mimeo, a content distribution and digital printing company, in 2005, we had fewer than 100 employees. I could stand up and talk to anyone in our New York office. I knew everyone.<br /> <br /> Today, we have over 800 employees in six locations, including four international offices in the UK, Germany, India and China. Our New York office had ballooned to multiple floors. That’s why we turned to <a href="https://apps.google.com/" target="_blank">Google Apps</a> to keep our distributed workforce productive, efficient and competitive in an evolving market. <a href="https://apps.google.com/products/hangouts/" target="_blank">Google Hangouts</a>, <a href="https://apps.google.com/products/docs/" target="_blank">Google Docs</a> and <a href="https://apps.google.com/products/calendar/" target="_blank">Google Calendar</a> keep us organized and coordinated across multiple time zones.<br /> <br /> To compete with other online suppliers, we need to move fast and fulfill orders quickly. Customers can place an order for a complex printed document on our website at 10 p.m. EST and expect it to be fulfilled and delivered the next day. This means people at our New York headquarters need to communicate rapidly with our global manufacturing facilities. With Hangouts, our teams can video or text chat instantly from any device, whether it’s a desktop computer or mobile phone, at any time of day or night. <br /> <br /> We made the switch to Google Apps from Microsoft Exchange in 2010 to give people tools to work more closely together — without wasting time on IT issues. Before 2010, our IT team had to deal with issues that didn’t add value to the company, like scheduled server maintenance and helping employees fix email problems. These minor issues added up to 1,000 hours each year. Now, our IT team spends 100-200 hours a year addressing minor issues — equating to huge financial and time savings. <br /> <br /> Google Apps, and particularly Docs, increases our efficiency. Today we create about 90 percent of our documents using Docs. Employees often collaboratively edit documents together when they’re sitting across the room from each other. Docs also makes meetings more efficient by giving us the ability to take shared notes and assign owners. The whole team doesn’t need to be in every meeting — we can tag team members who need to share their input on one small section, and they can contribute on their own time. <br /> <br /> With offices in the UK, Germany, China and India, we use Hangouts to collaborate more meaningfully with more face-to-face time. The ease of meeting person to person also helps us appreciate the cultural diversity of our team, which contributes to our open culture that embraces diverse ideas and paths to problem solving. Whether from Memphis or Berlin, any of us could easily hop on a video chat in Hangouts while also having access to intuitive tools, making training new employees from any location seamless.<br /> <br /> As companies like ours grow increasingly global, Google Apps is helping to create more mobile, flexible work environments. Our biggest goal is to do more for our customers while keeping our employees in sync by making Mimeo a great place to work. We know that our customers depend on Mimeo for fast, reliable service that consistently exceeds their expectations. Google Apps helps our employees make the most of their time and creativity, ensuring we retain the competitive advantage that’s made us a globally recognized company.<br /> <br /> <br /></div> </script> <noscript> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Doug Bohaboy, VP of Marketing, <a href="https://www.mimeo.com/" target="_blank">Mimeo</a><br /> </span> <br /> <br /> <i><b>Editor's note:</b> Today we hear from Doug Bohaboy of <a href="https://www.mimeo.com/" target="_blank">Mimeo</a>, a content distribution and digital printing company based in New York City.

As the momentum continues in the enterprise, we can’t wait to see what you build next. </div> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/05/Google-IO-whats-new-for-enterprise-developers.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:Google I/O: What’s new for enterprise developers&url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/05/Google-IO-whats-new-for-enterprise-developers.html&via=gsuite'> <img alt='Share on Twitter' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_twitter_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='fb-custom social-wrapper' data-href='https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/05/Google-IO-whats-new-for-enterprise-developers.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/2016/05/Google-IO-whats-new-for-enterprise-developers.html' data-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/05/Google-IO-whats-new-for-enterprise-developers.html' style='color: #4184F3;'></span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/05/Google-IO-whats-new-for-enterprise-developers.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/Android%20for%20Work' rel='tag'> Android for Work </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Chromebooks%20for%20Work' rel='tag'> Chromebooks for Work </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%20Apps%20Marketplace' rel='tag'> Google Apps Marketplace </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Cloud%20Platform' rel='tag'> Google Cloud Platform </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%20for%20Work' rel='tag'> Google Maps for Work </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='6631190795253560982' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/05/how-oil-and-gas-company-Imaginea-Energy-built-a-productivity-pipeline.html' itemprop='url' title=' How oil and gas company Imaginea Energy built a productivity pipeline'> How oil and gas company Imaginea Energy built a productivity pipeline </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> Tuesday, May 17, 2016 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Greg Bennett, <a href="http://imagineaenergy.com/" target="_blank">Imaginea</a></span> <br /> <br /> <i><b>Editor's note:</b> Today we hear from Greg Bennett of <a href="http://imagineaenergy.com/" target="_blank">Imaginea Energy</a>, an oil and gas company based in Calgary, Alberta Canada.

This vision is reflected in our culture, the mindsets of our people as well as in our organizational model. Together, our organizational model and culture promote curiosity, teamwork and 10X thinking — values that affect everything from our team-driven project pitches, to idea generation to the tools that are integral to creating solutions that match our aspirations, like <a href="https://apps.google.com/" target="_blank">Google Apps for Work</a>.<br /> <br /> We switched from our previous platform because our legacy storage, productivity and email tools didn’t reflect our open and transparent culture or our vision of the future. The closed IT environment made it difficult to collaborate together beyond very small teams: file-sharing was non-existent, which created insane revision situations and confusion about document version control. <a href="https://apps.google.com/products/drive/" target="_blank">Google Drive </a>changes all of that. We've migrated nearly 260,000 files to Drive, all of which can be accessed from anywhere, on any device, without deploying a rigid shared drive structure.<br /> <br /> Google <a href="https://apps.google.com/products/docs/" target="_blank">Docs</a>, <a href="https://apps.google.com/products/sheets/" target="_blank">Sheets</a>, <a href="https://apps.google.com/products/slides/" target="_blank">Slides</a> and <a href="https://apps.google.com/products/forms/" target="_blank">Forms</a> have absolutely transformed how we work together. With real-time editing, commenting and data collection, we can quickly share ideas and insights and rapidly move work forward together. At a recent meeting we had over 30 people generate 20 pages of new ideas in under two hours. Seamless collaboration and rapid ideation like this simply wasn’t possible before.<br /> <br /> Google Apps for Work combined with our flexible working environment provide maximum autonomy, which our employees leverage to increase their productivity both in and out of the office. Visit our headquarters on a Friday and you might find up to 40% of our people foregoing their commute in favour of working from home (or a coffee shop, or a park). This flexibility really works for our company and our team. <br /> <br /> With access to information online or <a href="https://support.google.com/drive/answer/2375012?hl=en" target="_blank">offline</a>, the ability to work remotely extends to the vast 30,000 km2 of rolling prairie that our operations cover. Operators can capture data even without internet access. Once they re-connect, all of their offline work is instantly synced, eliminating redundant data-entry and confusion.<br /> <br /> Our ability to work from anywhere has been further enhanced by using <a href="https://apps.google.com/products/hangouts/" target="_blank">Google Hangouts</a>. Whether a field operator is at one of our 600+ active wells or a team member is running a training presentation from 7,000 kms away in Europe, Hangouts connects our people face-to-face. Our field staff have cut down on the 500 km round trip visits to headquarters — now they can spend more time on-site, and less time driving by communicating and holding meeting via Hangouts. Reducing driving time increases the safety of our team, and also reduces our environmental footprint and operating costs. <br /> <br /> Not only has switching to Google Apps saved us significant time, it will also reduce our IT spend. By mid-2016, we’ll have saved over 50 percent on IT maintenance, money that can be redeployed to develop solutions to business problems and maximising our team’s capabilities. <br /> <br /> Google Apps gives us the security we need without compromising information flow or flexibility. The <a href="https://apps.google.com/products/admin/" target="_blank">Admin console</a> lets us customize mobile device management and quickly respond to changing security events. On a recent trip to Paris, a company device was stolen on the subway. Within 12 minutes, access credentials were changed and our data was secured. This security extends behind the scenes to every part of Google Apps. We may never have world-leading security experts on our staff, but luckily we don’t have to: Google does. Having trust in our tools, combined with the trust we invest in our employees, means we can focus on creating value without obsessing over security. <br /> <br /> At Imaginea, we defy industry stereotypes by focusing on Planet, People and Profit together. When you set out to reimagine an industry like oil and gas, achieving that vision is only possible with the right people and the right tools. With Google Apps, we’ve set course to truly transform our business and the energy industry. </div> </script> <noscript> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Greg Bennett, <a href="http://imagineaenergy.com/" target="_blank">Imaginea</a></span> <br /> <br /> <i><b>Editor's note:</b> Today we hear from Greg Bennett of <a href="http://imagineaenergy.com/" target="_blank">Imaginea Energy</a>, an oil and gas company based in Calgary, Alberta Canada.

In the past year, we’ve added more than 950 cities and towns that are now hosting Paint Nite events, and more than doubled our employees at headquarters from 40 to 100+. <br /> <br /> Work-life balance is a big priority at Paint Nite. Our founders recognize that everyone has commitments outside of work, whether it’s spending time with family, pursuing a hobby or volunteering. Paint Nite offers unlimited vacation time and allows employees to work from home any time. Tools like Google Apps help our employees take advantage of this policy. Teams use <a href="https://apps.google.com/products/hangouts/" target="_blank">Google Hangouts</a> to chat about projects throughout the day, whether they’re at the office, at home or working from a coffee shop.

At Paint Nite, we rely on our data to make decisions or share information — a digital marketing manager needs to know how many cities we operate in for a new advertisement, or our communications team wants to share year-over-year growth figures with the local newspaper. Before they started using Forms, our analysts spent hours each week sorting through requests manually. It was an inefficient and frustrating process. Now, if anyone at Paint Nite needs company data, he or she can submit a request using Google Forms. <br /> <br /> As we continue to scale from a local startup to a international brand, it’s crucial that our teams stay connected, whether people are working from our main office, at home or on the road.

Google Apps helps us do this while maintaining the close-knit, flexible work environment we've grown to love.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> </div> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/05/Creative-entertainment-provider-Paint-Nite-uses-Google-Apps-to-create-a-flexible-workplace.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:Creative entertainment provider Paint Nite uses Google Apps to create a flexible workplace&url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/05/Creative-entertainment-provider-Paint-Nite-uses-Google-Apps-to-create-a-flexible-workplace.html&via=gsuite'> <img alt='Share on Twitter' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_twitter_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='fb-custom social-wrapper' data-href='https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/05/Creative-entertainment-provider-Paint-Nite-uses-Google-Apps-to-create-a-flexible-workplace.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='3' data-onclick='' data-post-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/05/Creative-entertainment-provider-Paint-Nite-uses-Google-Apps-to-create-a-flexible-workplace.html' data-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/05/Creative-entertainment-provider-Paint-Nite-uses-Google-Apps-to-create-a-flexible-workplace.html' style='color: #4184F3;'></span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/05/Creative-entertainment-provider-Paint-Nite-uses-Google-Apps-to-create-a-flexible-workplace.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%20Calendar' rel='tag'> Google Calendar </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%20Forms' rel='tag'> Google Forms </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Hangouts' rel='tag'> Google Hangouts </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='2764148053649397455' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/05/St-Kilda-Mums-helps-mums-powered-by-Google-Apps-for-Work.html' itemprop='url' title='St Kilda Mums helps mums, powered by Google Apps for Work'> St Kilda Mums helps mums, powered by Google Apps for Work </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> Thursday, May 5, 2016 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Mary Gourley, Google for Work, Public Sector (and proud mum of three)</span> <br /> <br /> For all the amazing things mums do, they deserve much more than just one day to recognize their greatness.

Google Apps keeps our talented workforce from getting bogged down with outdated or mundane processes so that it can continue to create the best experience — and shoes — for our customers.</div> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/05/Shoes-of-Prey-embraces-a-design-your-own-experience-for-bespoke-shoes-and-workplace-technology.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:Shoes of Prey embraces a “design your own” experience for bespoke shoes and workplace technology&url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/05/Shoes-of-Prey-embraces-a-design-your-own-experience-for-bespoke-shoes-and-workplace-technology.html&via=gsuite'> <img alt='Share on Twitter' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_twitter_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='fb-custom social-wrapper' data-href='https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/05/Shoes-of-Prey-embraces-a-design-your-own-experience-for-bespoke-shoes-and-workplace-technology.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/2016/05/Shoes-of-Prey-embraces-a-design-your-own-experience-for-bespoke-shoes-and-workplace-technology.html' data-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/05/Shoes-of-Prey-embraces-a-design-your-own-experience-for-bespoke-shoes-and-workplace-technology.html' style='color: #4184F3;'></span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/05/Shoes-of-Prey-embraces-a-design-your-own-experience-for-bespoke-shoes-and-workplace-technology.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%20Docs' rel='tag'> Google Docs </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='8853897368473527715' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2016/04/Google-Calendar-for-Android-Find-a-time-for-my-meeting.html' itemprop='url' title='Google Calendar for Android: Find a time for my meeting'> Google Calendar for Android: Find a time for my meeting </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> Wednesday, April 27, 2016 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Stella Schieffer, Product Manager</span> <br /> <br /> <i>(Cross-posted on the Gmail <a href="https://gmail.googleblog.com/2016/04/google-calendar-for-android-find-time.html" target="_blank">Blog</a>.)</i> <br /> <br /> Smartphones have made productivity portable.

Google’s no-sweat, work-in-real-time tools have helped us achieve these goals since starting our company in 2008. We considered alternatives like Microsoft and Zoho, but we found that no other solution could compete with the simple, intuitive interface and ease of use of Google Apps. <br /> <br /> Google Apps is a natural extension of our company culture, which I like to think of as “Family Style.” Whether or not we’re in the office, we encourage people to work flexibly and with people on different teams. Building this type of open, supportive culture depends on ensuring everyone has an equal voice — and tools like <a href="https://apps.google.com/products/gmail/" target="_blank">Gmail</a> play a huge role in making this happen. We encourage transparency and participation by adding every employee to all internal email lists from day one. It might sound like a lot, but anyone can opt out and choose only to follow what’s relevant to them.<br /> <br /> Our annual month abroad also contributes to our overarching family culture. For one month every year, the entire team has the opportunity to work (and bring their families) abroad. We run as the same business, but from somewhere awesome — last year we spent a month in Thailand. Thanks to the flexibility of Google Apps, our only requirements for this trip are a beach, power and Internet access. <br /> <br /> We rely on our employees to give us feedback about the tools we use, and Google Apps is probably the only product no one has ever asked to replace. We’ve tested bringing on some other enterprise and productivity platforms, but we always come back to Google Apps. Their integrations, like single sign-on with <a href="https://docs.intercom.io/configuring-for-your-product-or-site/protect-your-account-with-2fa-and-google-sign-on" target="_blank">Intercom</a>, make our lives easier. We can quickly onboard new employees, and don’t have to worry about former employees accessing sensitive content. <br /> <br /> Because it’s so easy to use, we hire zero IT support, and I don’t foresee that changing anytime soon. Even non-technical employees can set up accounts without any problems.
