Google Workspace - Make it fast. Make it smart. Make it together.

With Google Workspace, Google incorporates one of its maxims — organising all information and making it easily accessible and usable — into your daily office and work-from-home routine. Google Cloud’s browser-based office suite includes a selection of apps that make possible a new form of collaboration as per the BYOD (bring your own device) principle.

Create: Fostering more exchange

Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms, Sites, etc., with ‘real-time collaboration’ allow for simultaneous editing while making changes completely traceable.

Connect: Strengthening teamwork everywhere

Gmail, Calendar, Meet, Chat and other apps increase the productivity of meetings and thereby also their output. Google’s robust infrastructures makes it all possible.

Access: Managing documents intelligently

Drive and Cloud Search eliminate the barriers to efficient storage and management of your data. Built-in AI modules get you to your goal faster.

Control: Keeping data under control

Admin, Vault, etc. provide the highest security & compliance standards at all times. You decide who saves, uses and archives data where and how.

Download and local infrastructure no longer needed: Google Workspace businesses switch between the office and working from home without sacrificing productivity or knowledge transfers. Here, Google Cloud’s data protection and security standards, the unique infrastructure and the 99.9% uptime likewise play a key role.

Google Workspace migration with Wabion

Wabion has successfully assisted companies such as TX Group, Kaeser Kompressoren, Conrad, Koenig & Bauer or Ferrum in their migration and trained their employees. In doing so, we have refined Google’s best practices for the process:

The right mix of project management competence, technical expertise and change management know-how is crucial for a successful Google Workspace migration. With this set of skills, we guide our clients via Google Workspace to the next levels in their digital transformation. In doing so, we bring in our GCP expertise and employ the seamless integration of Google Workspace with other GCP offers such as Firebase, BigQuery or the intranet platform LumApps.

“Google Workspace was like an entry ticket into the world of web applications and the cloud for us. Thanks to Wabion’s capable team and their extensive cloud expertise, we were able to realise two smaller projects at once and implement the requirements in the form of web applications. With the various Google Cloud building blocks, the possibilities are almost endless — we are only at the beginning of this journey and are receiving active support from Wabion.”

“We learned about Google Workspace and what it could do for us during our first ever meeting with the Google Cloud team, alongside our digitalization partner Wabion. We were very impressed. A heterogeneous infrastructure makes collaboration more challenging. Google Workspace helps us to standardize our communication practices and integrate all our different teams from different places in the cloud using just a web browser.”

“We were deeply impressed with how quickly our employees got used to Google Workspace. It’s not only improved collaboration internally, the ease of use has also made it easier to work with external partners and customers and foster closer relationships with them.”
