Look for these features as they roll out in the coming weeks.</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/2015/12/because-its-gotta-be-super-easy-to-find-your-files.html?hl=en'> <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:Because it's gotta be super easy to find your files&url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2015/12/because-its-gotta-be-super-easy-to-find-your-files.html?hl=en&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/2015/12/because-its-gotta-be-super-easy-to-find-your-files.html?hl=en'> <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/2015/12/because-its-gotta-be-super-easy-to-find-your-files.html?hl=en' data-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2015/12/because-its-gotta-be-super-easy-to-find-your-files.html' style='color: #4184F3;'></span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2015/12/because-its-gotta-be-super-easy-to-find-your-files.html' data-viewtype='FILTERED_POSTMOD'></div> <a href='https://plus.google.com/112374322230920073195' rel='author' style='display:none;'> Google </a> <div class='label-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'> Labels: </span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Apps%20for%20Work?hl=en' rel='tag'> Google Apps for Work </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Drive?hl=en' rel='tag'> Google Drive </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Drive%20for%20Work?hl=en' rel='tag'> Google Drive for Work </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20for%20Work?hl=en' rel='tag'> Google for Work </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='8653575891184035607' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2015/11/the-RSPCA-rescues-rehabilitates-and-rehomes-hundreds-of-thousands-of-animals-a-year-with-help-from-Google-Apps-for-work.html?hl=en' itemprop='url' title='The RSPCA rescues, rehabilitates and rehomes hundreds of thousands of animals a year with help from Google Apps for Work'> The RSPCA rescues, rehabilitates and rehomes hundreds of thousands of animals a year with help from Google Apps for Work </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> Monday, November 9, 2015 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Billie Laidlaw, Assistant Director IT Resources, RSPCA</span><br /> <span class="byline-author"><br /></span> <i><b>Editor's note:</b> Today we hear from Billie Laidlaw, Assistant Director Resources-IT at the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (<a href="http://www.rspca.org.uk/home" target="_blank">RSPCA</a>), the UK’s oldest and largest animal welfare charity with 1600 employees across England and Wales.

Manager</span> <br /> <br /> <i><b>Editor's note:</b> We’re jumping into our Delorean to explore how some of our favorite historical figures might have worked with <a href="https://www.google.com/work/apps/business/" target="_blank">Google Apps</a>. Today, in honor of <a href="http://www.nationalbreastcancer.org/breast-cancer-awareness-month" target="_blank">National Breast Cancer Awareness Month</a>, we imagine how Marie Curie’s <a href="https://www.aip.org/history/curie/brief/index.html" target="_blank">discovery</a> of radioactivity, which won a Nobel Prize and revolutionized modern cancer treatment, might have played out in a Google Apps universe.</i><br /> <br /> Consider what Marie Curie accomplished in the face of adversity and with few resources. Despite being <a href="http://womenshistory.about.com/od/mariecurie/p/marie_curie.htm" target="_blank">refused</a> a place at the French Academy of Sciences and almost <a href="https://www.aip.org/history/curie/recdis2.htm" target="_blank">denied</a> her first Nobel Prize for being a woman, she continued her work undeterred, securing a <a href="http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/chemistry/laureates/1911/" target="_blank">second</a> Nobel Prize in Chemistry and developing methods for treating cancer with radiation therapy. To celebrate her, we explore how she might have worked in a different time — by using some of the tools we use today. <br /> <br /> The radioactivity in Curie’s lab was so strong that it harmed her health — archivists today still use protective gear to handle her <a href="http://www.csmonitor.com/Technology/Horizons/2011/1107/Marie-Curie-Why-her-papers-are-still-radioactive" target="_blank">papers</a>. Instead of carrying these radioactive documents, Curie could have kept them in the cloud with <a href="https://www.google.com/work/apps/business/products/drive/" target="_blank">Google Drive</a>, allowing for easy access whenever and wherever she needed them, without risking her well-being. Drive’s organization features could also have helped her organize her <a href="http://static.springer.com/sgw/documents/1426303/application/pdf/Adloff_The+Laboratory+Notebooks+of+Pierre+and+Marie+Curie.pdf" target="_blank">files and notes</a> in folders, easily distinguishable by color and category.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwWezLP08ddZz3VhhZzKxv9I84YsLMCm9mKFa-IP42UdIthmbZFA7lQV4RekTwYsNXmKkuWiTFRZID8qJWiK-lWnV3_TcScVcQlBCCHWjwEgFcSmvS4Ennd4yPEKOWPa6Khq3jEGHF0u0/s1600/image00.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="407" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwWezLP08ddZz3VhhZzKxv9I84YsLMCm9mKFa-IP42UdIthmbZFA7lQV4RekTwYsNXmKkuWiTFRZID8qJWiK-lWnV3_TcScVcQlBCCHWjwEgFcSmvS4Ennd4yPEKOWPa6Khq3jEGHF0u0/s640/image00.gif" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> Her easy access to files would also be secure with Drive’s built-in security stack.

Today, in honor of <a href="http://www.nationalbreastcancer.org/breast-cancer-awareness-month" target="_blank">National Breast Cancer Awareness Month</a>, we imagine how Marie Curie’s <a href="https://www.aip.org/history/curie/brief/index.html" target="_blank">discovery</a> of radioactivity, which won a Nobel Prize and revolutionized modern cancer treatment, might have played out in a Google Apps universe.</i><br /> <br /> Consider what Marie Curie accomplished in the face of adversity and with few resources. Despite being <a href="http://womenshistory.about.com/od/mariecurie/p/marie_curie.htm" target="_blank">refused</a> a place at the French Academy of Sciences and almost <a href="https://www.aip.org/history/curie/recdis2.htm" target="_blank">denied</a> her first Nobel Prize for being a woman, she continued her work undeterred, securing a <a href="http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/chemistry/laureates/1911/" target="_blank">second</a> Nobel Prize in Chemistry and developing methods for treating cancer with radiation therapy. To celebrate her, we explore how she might have worked in a different time — by using some of the tools we use today. <br /> <br /> The radioactivity in Curie’s lab was so strong that it harmed her health — archivists today still use protective gear to handle her <a href="http://www.csmonitor.com/Technology/Horizons/2011/1107/Marie-Curie-Why-her-papers-are-still-radioactive" target="_blank">papers</a>. Instead of carrying these radioactive documents, Curie could have kept them in the cloud with <a href="https://www.google.com/work/apps/business/products/drive/" target="_blank">Google Drive</a>, allowing for easy access whenever and wherever she needed them, without risking her well-being. Drive’s organization features could also have helped her organize her <a href="http://static.springer.com/sgw/documents/1426303/application/pdf/Adloff_The+Laboratory+Notebooks+of+Pierre+and+Marie+Curie.pdf" target="_blank">files and notes</a> in folders, easily distinguishable by color and category.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwWezLP08ddZz3VhhZzKxv9I84YsLMCm9mKFa-IP42UdIthmbZFA7lQV4RekTwYsNXmKkuWiTFRZID8qJWiK-lWnV3_TcScVcQlBCCHWjwEgFcSmvS4Ennd4yPEKOWPa6Khq3jEGHF0u0/s1600/image00.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="407" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwWezLP08ddZz3VhhZzKxv9I84YsLMCm9mKFa-IP42UdIthmbZFA7lQV4RekTwYsNXmKkuWiTFRZID8qJWiK-lWnV3_TcScVcQlBCCHWjwEgFcSmvS4Ennd4yPEKOWPa6Khq3jEGHF0u0/s640/image00.gif" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> Her easy access to files would also be secure with Drive’s built-in security stack.

It’s no different for Google Drive: so far this year we’ve launched a number of security enhancements, including <a href="http://googleforwork.blogspot.com/2015/03/keep-all-of-your-work-more-secure-with.html" target="_blank">Information Rights Management (IRM)</a>, <a href="http://googleappsupdates.blogspot.com/2015/04/set-custom-alerts-on-audit-events-for.html" target="_blank">custom audit alerts</a>, <a href="http://googleforwork.blogspot.com/2015/03/keep-all-of-your-work-more-secure-with.html" target="_blank">new sharing controls</a>, <a href="http://googleappsupdates.blogspot.com/2015/04/protect-google-and-google-apps-accounts.html" target="_blank">Password Alert</a>, <a href="http://googleappsupdates.blogspot.com/2015/04/self-service-password-recovery-for.html" target="_blank">new password recovery options</a>, <a href="http://googleappsupdates.blogspot.com/2015/07/whitelist-specific-google-apps-domains.html" target="_blank">Whitelisted Domain sharing</a> and the <a href="http://googleforwork.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-key-for-working-smarter-faster-and-more-securely.html" target="_blank">Security Key</a>.<br /> <br /> Earlier this year, the number of paying organizations actively using Google Drive crossed one million, including companies like The New York Times, Uber, Fossil, Wedding Wire and BBVA. To show our ongoing commitment to keeping their work and employees safe, we’re rolling out new updates and features for our customers.<br /> <br /> <h3 style="text-align: left;"> Enhanced eDiscovery with Google Apps Vault</h3> <br /> To give businesses even more visibility and control over employee files, Google Drive will offer enhanced eDiscovery capabilities for Google Apps Vault. Retention policies and legal hold capabilities, similar to those<a href="https://support.google.com/vault/answer/2990828?hl=en&ref_topic=3209998&vid=1-635778447692774339-1703044347" target="_blank"> currently available</a> for email and chat, have been extended to cover files in Google Drive. These capabilities help you meet your legal obligations and ensure that employee files are archived and available as long as needed, even if employees delete those files from their Drive. These new capabilities are in a limited rollout now, with full availability planned for the coming months.<br /> <br /> <h3 style="text-align: left;"> A new standard for privacy</h3> <br /> Over the years we’ve completed third-party <a href="http://googleforwork.blogspot.com/2012/09/google-apps-vault-and-cloud-platform.html" target="_blank">SOC2</a> / <a href="http://googleforwork.blogspot.com/2014/08/google-cloud-is-secure-but-you-don-have.html" target="_blank">SOC3</a> security audits and achieved <a href="http://googleforwork.blogspot.com/2012/05/google-apps-receives-iso-27001.html" target="_blank">ISO 27001 certification</a> to provide transparency and accountability around our security procedures.

It’s no different for Google Drive: so far this year we’ve launched a number of security enhancements, including <a href="http://googleforwork.blogspot.com/2015/03/keep-all-of-your-work-more-secure-with.html" target="_blank">Information Rights Management (IRM)</a>, <a href="http://googleappsupdates.blogspot.com/2015/04/set-custom-alerts-on-audit-events-for.html" target="_blank">custom audit alerts</a>, <a href="http://googleforwork.blogspot.com/2015/03/keep-all-of-your-work-more-secure-with.html" target="_blank">new sharing controls</a>, <a href="http://googleappsupdates.blogspot.com/2015/04/protect-google-and-google-apps-accounts.html" target="_blank">Password Alert</a>, <a href="http://googleappsupdates.blogspot.com/2015/04/self-service-password-recovery-for.html" target="_blank">new password recovery options</a>, <a href="http://googleappsupdates.blogspot.com/2015/07/whitelist-specific-google-apps-domains.html" target="_blank">Whitelisted Domain sharing</a> and the <a href="http://googleforwork.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-key-for-working-smarter-faster-and-more-securely.html" target="_blank">Security Key</a>.<br /> <br /> Earlier this year, the number of paying organizations actively using Google Drive crossed one million, including companies like The New York Times, Uber, Fossil, Wedding Wire and BBVA. To show our ongoing commitment to keeping their work and employees safe, we’re rolling out new updates and features for our customers.<br /> <br /> <h3 style="text-align: left;"> Enhanced eDiscovery with Google Apps Vault</h3> <br /> To give businesses even more visibility and control over employee files, Google Drive will offer enhanced eDiscovery capabilities for Google Apps Vault. Retention policies and legal hold capabilities, similar to those<a href="https://support.google.com/vault/answer/2990828?hl=en&ref_topic=3209998&vid=1-635778447692774339-1703044347" target="_blank"> currently available</a> for email and chat, have been extended to cover files in Google Drive. These capabilities help you meet your legal obligations and ensure that employee files are archived and available as long as needed, even if employees delete those files from their Drive. These new capabilities are in a limited rollout now, with full availability planned for the coming months.<br /> <br /> <h3 style="text-align: left;"> A new standard for privacy</h3> <br /> Over the years we’ve completed third-party <a href="http://googleforwork.blogspot.com/2012/09/google-apps-vault-and-cloud-platform.html" target="_blank">SOC2</a> / <a href="http://googleforwork.blogspot.com/2014/08/google-cloud-is-secure-but-you-don-have.html" target="_blank">SOC3</a> security audits and achieved <a href="http://googleforwork.blogspot.com/2012/05/google-apps-receives-iso-27001.html" target="_blank">ISO 27001 certification</a> to provide transparency and accountability around our security procedures.

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

To help make this easier, we commissioned <a href="http://www.forrester.com/" target="_blank">Forrester</a> Consulting to quantify the benefits a typical Google Apps for Work customer enjoys. </i> <br /> <br /> Companies across the globe face increasing pressure to stay competitive and meet their customers’ needs. Tools that allow teams to share ideas instantly, attend meetings remotely, collaborate from anywhere in real time and work on the go are helping companies innovate and engage customers in this new competitive landscape. These types of outcomes are possible only by “pure” cloud-based architectures that overcome the inefficiencies of legacy desktop- centric computing.<br /> <br /> While it’s easy to understand how collaboration and mobility impact our day-to-day work, it’s more difficult for organizations to quantify these benefits in monetary terms.<br /> <br /> So Google commissioned Forrester Consulting to conduct a Total Economic Impact (TEI) study examining the value that Google customers achieve by implementing Google Apps for Work. Forrester measured the total economic impact over three years for organizations moving from legacy on-premise infrastructure to Google’s web-based solution. To quantify the complete value of Google Apps for Work, including collaboration and productivity benefits, they interviewed six of our current customers. They then aggregated each piece of customer feedback to create a representative composite organization on which to base the development of a Total Economic Impact model.<br /> <br /> The composite organization is a global B2B multinational services company with 10,000 employees using Google Apps for Work and $4 billion in annual revenue. The analysis they completed showed that this composite organization would realize millions in collaboration and mobility efficiencies in the course of three years. <br /> <br /> Here are a few highlights from the report:<br /> <br /> <ul style="text-align: left;"> <li><b>304% return on investment (ROI) </b> Over three years, Google Apps for Work generated a risk-adjusted $17.1 million in benefits, outweighing the total costs of $4.2 million and resulting in a risk-adjusted ROI of 304%.</li> </ul> <br /> <ul style="text-align: left;"> <li><b>$8 million in collaboration efficiencies: </b> Employees can streamline business processes by working together in real -time using Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides, creating project collaboration spaces in Google Sites, and accessing and sharing files with Google Drive.

Should he have any concerns about a collaborator secretly passing sensitive information to his rival, <a href="http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/271280/Robert-Hooke" target="_blank">Robert Hooke</a>, he could adjust the sharing settings. He could even restrict the ability to view, share, download or print his <a href="http://www.gutenberg.org/files/33504/33504-h/33504-h.htm" target="_blank">treatise on optics</a> after he’d already shared it.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM85XQYSp2g8BiFsTHaEedy_uLowvsVRxxVuQOf8iPtoWbnOZ9A2vUnt-S6fqHzk6v0-_PRtUHI86YOpmvfxgG3YZKDRf9QgynajzzHIQs6UUHxSdFiZMpvexXVAvskq72dtw02oTvzFU/s1600/Static1+(2).png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM85XQYSp2g8BiFsTHaEedy_uLowvsVRxxVuQOf8iPtoWbnOZ9A2vUnt-S6fqHzk6v0-_PRtUHI86YOpmvfxgG3YZKDRf9QgynajzzHIQs6UUHxSdFiZMpvexXVAvskq72dtw02oTvzFU/s1600/Static1+(2).png" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> <br /> Newton communicated through writing by hand — it’s estimated that he left behind about <a href="http://www.wired.com/2014/05/newton-papers-q-and-a/" target="_blank">10 million words</a> of notes, letters and manuscripts — but we think he might have used <a href="https://www.google.com/work/apps/business/products/hangouts/" target="_blank">Hangouts</a> for urgent conversations. If Newton needed to speak with his colleagues at the Royal Society about whether Leibniz was guilty of plagiarism, he’d meet with them face-to-face on a Hangout. Or, if his wig wasn’t looking particularly great that day, he could’ve started a group chat and shared pictures of his calculus notation as evidence (maybe even including a few emoji to lighten things up).<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR-vyPLcwH9yjcvPKRFCxlvqeNPZ-M6aamt9eI0qQbPFdJ7bEpnHYGCQfyd6Z5D8G7YIZdUhEYpcfmBhL178WrAcYpUKez_v9rRyg1vibVfd0xbZ7bq17k_lQHUxGA1GL_xyj5d2IALAo/s1600/Static3+(2).png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="367" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiR-vyPLcwH9yjcvPKRFCxlvqeNPZ-M6aamt9eI0qQbPFdJ7bEpnHYGCQfyd6Z5D8G7YIZdUhEYpcfmBhL178WrAcYpUKez_v9rRyg1vibVfd0xbZ7bq17k_lQHUxGA1GL_xyj5d2IALAo/s1600/Static3+(2).png" width="400" /></a></div> <br /> As a professor at the University of Cambridge, Newton lectured about optics and presented his research about the properties of light. He might have shared illustrations of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opticks" target="_blank">prisms</a> to explain rainbows and the color spectrum, uploading the images to a shared <a href="https://www.google.com/work/apps/business/products/drive/" target="_blank">Drive</a> folder rather than passing around delicate hand-drawn sketches. Using Drive’s <a href="https://support.google.com/drive/answer/176692?hl=en" target="_blank">Optical Character Recognition</a>, he could turn his handwritten notes into searchable text. Old notes he wrote on refraction and diffraction would be easy to find and reference as he developed new theories on the nature of light. As one of the most important thinkers and scientists of all time, how valuable would it have been for him to so easily archive and pull up his every great thought and idea?<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAq7D8ZsdEaFHD2Qnvdq6MCKeg4LlQUpd6T-ysdCeI9KdedHEXseqUIceShqqrpLGdHbxsTtHArbwa2_dm3VhWbsS-LEENm3xr9wp_YpMAZxDZpLBlQuKYif4iJWSBTwAEMy1_gCDTs_I/s1600/Prims.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="316" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAq7D8ZsdEaFHD2Qnvdq6MCKeg4LlQUpd6T-ysdCeI9KdedHEXseqUIceShqqrpLGdHbxsTtHArbwa2_dm3VhWbsS-LEENm3xr9wp_YpMAZxDZpLBlQuKYif4iJWSBTwAEMy1_gCDTs_I/s1600/Prims.gif" width="640" /></a></div> <br /> <br /> Sir Isaac Newton’s findings changed our understanding of the world around us and are still relevant to our lives 300 years later. But even more inspiring is the way his curiosity and intellectual daring influenced generations of thinkers to be relentless in pursuing new ideas — a principle (pun intended) that drives us here at Google. </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/2015/04/celebrating-Newtons-discoveries-how-the-master-might-have-used-Google-Apps.html?hl=en'> <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:Celebrating Newton’s discoveries: How the master might have used Google Apps&url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2015/04/celebrating-Newtons-discoveries-how-the-master-might-have-used-Google-Apps.html?hl=en&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/2015/04/celebrating-Newtons-discoveries-how-the-master-might-have-used-Google-Apps.html?hl=en'> <img alt='Share on Facebook' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_facebook_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> </div> <div class='comment-container'> <i class='comment-img material-icons'>  </i> <span class='cmt_count_iframe_holder' data-count='4' data-onclick='' data-post-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2015/04/celebrating-Newtons-discoveries-how-the-master-might-have-used-Google-Apps.html?hl=en' data-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2015/04/celebrating-Newtons-discoveries-how-the-master-might-have-used-Google-Apps.html' style='color: #4184F3;'></span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2015/04/celebrating-Newtons-discoveries-how-the-master-might-have-used-Google-Apps.html' data-viewtype='FILTERED_POSTMOD'></div> <a href='https://plus.google.com/112374322230920073195' rel='author' style='display:none;'> Google </a> <div class='label-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'> Labels: </span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Gone%20Google?hl=en' rel='tag'> Gone Google </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Apps%20for%20Work?hl=en' rel='tag'> Google Apps for Work </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Doc?hl=en' rel='tag'> Google Doc </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Drive%20for%20Work?hl=en' rel='tag'> Google Drive for Work </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20for%20Work?hl=en' rel='tag'> Google for Work </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Sheets?hl=en' rel='tag'> Google Sheets </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='8821944296372745636' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2015/03/keep-all-of-your-work-more-secure-with.html?hl=en' itemprop='url' title='Keep all of your work more secure with Google Drive'> Keep all of your work more secure with Google Drive </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> Tuesday, March 31, 2015 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <span class="byline-author">Posted by: Scott Johnston, Director of Product Management, Google Drive</span><br /> <br /> Since we <a href="http://googleforwork.blogspot.com/2014/06/unlimit-your-business-with-google-drive.html" target="_blank">launched Drive for Work</a> 9 months ago, we've watched as <a href="http://googleforwork.blogspot.com/2014/08/hotter-than-your-morning-coffee-google.html" target="_blank">more and more businesses</a> moved to the cloud — and seen that they prioritize data security as much as we do.

Before, if you wanted to do any serious computing, you’d have to install software onto your computer. But these days, most of that can be done right from within the browser. For example, you can use Google Drive to preview files <a href="http://googleforwork.blogspot.com/2013/11/attachments-in-gmail-now-with-power-of.html">directly in Gmail</a>, create and share Google Docs, Sheets and Slides, and even edit other file types like <a href="http://googledrive.blogspot.com/2014/06/newdocssheetsslides.html">Microsoft Office documents</a> without installing a single thing on your hard drive.<br /> <br /> But here’s the catch: when it comes to browsers and installed applications working well together, they aren’t quite on the same page. To change that, today we’re launching a new extension for Chrome that lets you open files from Google Drive directly into a compatible application installed on your computer. This includes apps like advanced image and video editing software, accounting and tax programs, or 3D animation and design tools. So, no matter what you keep in Drive, using the web to access and manage files doesn’t mean you’re limited to using applications that only work in your browser.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiLGi7elg3VSjzyJ-geyUCPOCClTsTFdaylwjWroCltY-4_D9MIYGJzpXBU6RoHlPSfyCqD0U3saD9OiC087xc3VbzBrYL3ji7jGr9bDfV3IsxKbdomJ28dNq9QGqjDBjfJZM78TIeE1Qv/s1600/switchblade3.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="433" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiLGi7elg3VSjzyJ-geyUCPOCClTsTFdaylwjWroCltY-4_D9MIYGJzpXBU6RoHlPSfyCqD0U3saD9OiC087xc3VbzBrYL3ji7jGr9bDfV3IsxKbdomJ28dNq9QGqjDBjfJZM78TIeE1Qv/s1600/switchblade3.gif" width="640" /></a></div> To get started, install the latest version of the <a href="https://tools.google.com/dlpage/drive">Drive app for Mac or PC</a> (version 1.18) and sync your files.

Before, if you wanted to do any serious computing, you’d have to install software onto your computer. But these days, most of that can be done right from within the browser. For example, you can use Google Drive to preview files <a href="http://googleforwork.blogspot.com/2013/11/attachments-in-gmail-now-with-power-of.html">directly in Gmail</a>, create and share Google Docs, Sheets and Slides, and even edit other file types like <a href="http://googledrive.blogspot.com/2014/06/newdocssheetsslides.html">Microsoft Office documents</a> without installing a single thing on your hard drive.<br /> <br /> But here’s the catch: when it comes to browsers and installed applications working well together, they aren’t quite on the same page. To change that, today we’re launching a new extension for Chrome that lets you open files from Google Drive directly into a compatible application installed on your computer. This includes apps like advanced image and video editing software, accounting and tax programs, or 3D animation and design tools. So, no matter what you keep in Drive, using the web to access and manage files doesn’t mean you’re limited to using applications that only work in your browser.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiLGi7elg3VSjzyJ-geyUCPOCClTsTFdaylwjWroCltY-4_D9MIYGJzpXBU6RoHlPSfyCqD0U3saD9OiC087xc3VbzBrYL3ji7jGr9bDfV3IsxKbdomJ28dNq9QGqjDBjfJZM78TIeE1Qv/s1600/switchblade3.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="433" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiLGi7elg3VSjzyJ-geyUCPOCClTsTFdaylwjWroCltY-4_D9MIYGJzpXBU6RoHlPSfyCqD0U3saD9OiC087xc3VbzBrYL3ji7jGr9bDfV3IsxKbdomJ28dNq9QGqjDBjfJZM78TIeE1Qv/s1600/switchblade3.gif" width="640" /></a></div> To get started, install the latest version of the <a href="https://tools.google.com/dlpage/drive">Drive app for Mac or PC</a> (version 1.18) and sync your files.

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

Now, with Drive, we can share large files like high-resolution images and merchandise artwork through the cloud, so material gets to our agency (and back to us) faster and at a significantly lower cost.

Our IT team loves Gmail because complaints about email services have decreased to zero since we began using it – in fact, IT’s support work for communication tools has gone down by 25% since we started using Google Apps. That gives our team more time to focus on activities that are more directly tied to the bottom line.<br /> <br /> Google Apps makes everyday problems like scheduling meetings disappear. Our old decision making process used to require the scheduling of several meetings and calls, with various reports and documents emailed back and forth among different teams. Now we schedule meetings on Google Calendar, where we can see everyone’s availability. For these meetings, we use a single shared document in Google Docs that serves as a running update on progress. This new workflow fundamentally changed the way we work with one another. What used to take days to decide is now possible within hours. <br /> <br /> Google Apps not only makes it easy for us to manage storage and bandwidth, it keeps our employees happy.

After six months on the platform, 95% of people told us they’re satisfied with Google Apps, which means they can enjoy their work of serving and helping our customers.</div> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2014/08/kfc-philippines-boosts-productivity-and.html?hl=en'> <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:KFC Philippines boosts productivity and collaboration with Google Drive and Apps&url=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2014/08/kfc-philippines-boosts-productivity-and.html?hl=en&via=gsuite'> <img alt='Share on Twitter' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_twitter_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='fb-custom social-wrapper' data-href='https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://cloud.googleblog.com/2014/08/kfc-philippines-boosts-productivity-and.html?hl=en'> <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/2014/08/kfc-philippines-boosts-productivity-and.html?hl=en' data-url='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2014/08/kfc-philippines-boosts-productivity-and.html' style='color: #4184F3;'></span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2014/08/kfc-philippines-boosts-productivity-and.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?hl=en' rel='tag'> customer love </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Gone%20Google?hl=en' rel='tag'> Gone Google </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Apps?hl=en' rel='tag'> Google Apps </a> , <a class='label' href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/search/label/Google%20Drive%20for%20Work?hl=en' rel='tag'> Google Drive for Work </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='304964221366717457' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://cloud.googleblog.com/2014/08/how-to-move-your-files-to-google-drive.html?hl=en' itemprop='url' title='How to move your files to Google Drive'> How to move your files to Google Drive </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> Monday, August 18, 2014 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><span class="byline-author">Posted by Chuck Coulson, Drive Technology Partnerships, Google</span><br /><br /><a href="http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2014/06/unlimit-your-business-with-google-drive.html" target="_blank">Google Drive for Work</a> is a new premium offering for businesses that includes unlimited storage, advanced audit reporting and new security controls and features, such as encryption at rest.<br /><br />If you're getting ready to move your company to Drive, one of the first things on your mind is how to migrate all your existing files with as little hassle as possible.

To celebrate the announcement and show how Drive helps businesses around the world, we’re sharing a few stories from a handful of customers using Drive (and the rest of the Google Apps suite) in innovative ways. </i><i>Today’s guest blogger is Chris Ridd, Managing Director for <a href="http://www.xero.com/" target="_blank">Xero</a> in Australia. Xero is a cloud-based accounting software company with 300,000 customers worldwide and over 800 employees across offices in the U.S., UK, Australia and New Zealand. </i><br /><br />At Xero, our core business is making beautiful, intuitive cloud based accounting software that helps small business owners spend more time doing what they do best, and less time worrying about keeping their books in order. Xero started life as a small four person operation in New Zealand. Eight years later, we’ve grown to 300,000 customers worldwide and 800 employees across 17 offices in the U.S., UK, Australia and New Zealand. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc3b4E54q0QKM7WznySGJerwawZzbQEOU27dH5n_IkyXSAIR4zKgbrg_qWhOl9BnLNfxQE7nHgmwHyT_eZoe47q81RflzfEMkQiOzm9OG3Ns1uNZIq1DHqAu7asPCGeNPLY2BQeaTeXgY/s1600/Xero+Logo+Hi_Rez.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc3b4E54q0QKM7WznySGJerwawZzbQEOU27dH5n_IkyXSAIR4zKgbrg_qWhOl9BnLNfxQE7nHgmwHyT_eZoe47q81RflzfEMkQiOzm9OG3Ns1uNZIq1DHqAu7asPCGeNPLY2BQeaTeXgY/s1600/Xero+Logo+Hi_Rez.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>This rapid growth was great, but it came with challenges, like finding the right people and new premises. One of the biggest challenges was coordination.

Instead, teams used a combination of cloud software and legacy desktop software that required continual expensive upgrades.

To celebrate the announcement and show how Drive helps businesses around the world, we’re sharing a few stories from a handful of customers using Drive (and the rest of the Google Apps suite) in innovative ways. </i><i>Today’s guest blogger is Chris Ridd, Managing Director for <a href="http://www.xero.com/" target="_blank">Xero</a> in Australia. Xero is a cloud-based accounting software company with 300,000 customers worldwide and over 800 employees across offices in the U.S., UK, Australia and New Zealand. </i><br /><br />At Xero, our core business is making beautiful, intuitive cloud based accounting software that helps small business owners spend more time doing what they do best, and less time worrying about keeping their books in order. Xero started life as a small four person operation in New Zealand. Eight years later, we’ve grown to 300,000 customers worldwide and 800 employees across 17 offices in the U.S., UK, Australia and New Zealand. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc3b4E54q0QKM7WznySGJerwawZzbQEOU27dH5n_IkyXSAIR4zKgbrg_qWhOl9BnLNfxQE7nHgmwHyT_eZoe47q81RflzfEMkQiOzm9OG3Ns1uNZIq1DHqAu7asPCGeNPLY2BQeaTeXgY/s1600/Xero+Logo+Hi_Rez.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc3b4E54q0QKM7WznySGJerwawZzbQEOU27dH5n_IkyXSAIR4zKgbrg_qWhOl9BnLNfxQE7nHgmwHyT_eZoe47q81RflzfEMkQiOzm9OG3Ns1uNZIq1DHqAu7asPCGeNPLY2BQeaTeXgY/s1600/Xero+Logo+Hi_Rez.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>This rapid growth was great, but it came with challenges, like finding the right people and new premises.
