Google recently announced the renewal of "G Suite" which now called Google Workspace and in the announcement he announces the launch of functionalities that integrate the different services, such as the possibility of having a video chat with colleagues displayed in a small box in the corner of a document editing window.
The company mentioned that it is incorporating some of its popular tools collaboration within the commercial version of Gmail, so users will not have to switch between other applications or browser tabs to collaborate.
Javier Soltero from Google said in a blog post:
“For more than a decade we have been creating products to help people transform the way they work.
“Now the work itself is transforming in an unprecedented way. For many of us, work is no longer a physical place we go to, and interactions that once took place in person have quickly become digitized. Office workers no longer have impromptu chats at the coffee machine or walking to meetings together, but have turned their homes into workspaces. Frontline workers, from builders on a construction site to delivery specialists who keep critical supply chains running smoothly, turn to their phones to help them get their jobs done.
Single explains that with Google Workspace, the publisher brings three great news.
Such as ua new, deeply integrated user experience It helps teams collaborate more effectively, front-line workers stay connected, and companies drive new digital experiences for customers.
As well a new brand identity reflecting our ambitious product vision and the way our products work together, as well as new ways to start with solutions tailored to the unique needs of our wide range of customers. This, in addition to not neglecting a new user experience.
In July, Google announced that it will offer its G Suite customers a solution that brings together key communication and collaboration tools into a single, unified experience to ensure employees have access to everything they need in one place.
In the next months, Google will also offer this new experience to the general public to “help them create a group that brings together residents of the same neighborhood, manage a family budget or plan a celebration using built-in tools like Gmail, Chat, Meet, Docs and Tasks. »
For example, In Docs, Sheets, and Presentations, you can now preview of a linked file without having to open a new tab, which means less time to switch between applications and more time to work.
Google says that also recognizes that strengthening human connections is even more important when people work remotely and interact digitally with their customers. It's what holds teams together and helps build your customers' trust and loyalty.
New brand identity
“10 years ago, when many of our products were first developed, they were created as individual applications that solved different challenges, such as better messaging with Gmail or a new way for people to collaborate with Docs. Over time, our products have become more integrated, so much so that the boundaries between our applications have begun to disappear.
New ways to start: In order to offer more options and help customers get the most out of Google Workspace, Google has developed its editions to offer more personalized offers.
Therefore, Google Workspace brings together Google Calendar, Google Docs, Google Sheets and Google Slides, but also Google Sites for the creation of websites, Google Forms for the creation of forms and surveys. Not to mention Google Chat for collaborative messaging, as well as Google Drive for storing and sharing documents.
To this a professional version of Gmail is added, with a minimum storage space of 30 GB per user.
