Many Google Apps enterprise users out there are scratching their heads
about using Google+. “How can I use this in my organization?” “Is it
securing enough for internal communication?” Or simply, “What is
Google+?” Sincethisis a hot topic among our clients, it is worth reviewing
Google+ Best Practicesas well as Domain Security Considerations to see if
it is a good fit for your organizationand culture. Let’s start out with some of
the Google+ basics. We think of Google+, not as another version of
Facebook where people are posting status updates like what they ate for
breakfast, but asa virtualmeeting place, where colleagues can share ideas,
info, and collaborateinreal time or on their own time, ultimately bringing
people together to share knowledge. And we all know that two (or more)
heads are better than one! On Plus, companies and users can create their
profiles to introduce themselves to colleagues they may not have met yet,
follow others who provide interesting content in their industry or just
interesting content in general. Associates can “hang out” on a video
3. conference, while sharing screens or Google Docs, and even chat back and
forth. The cool thing here is that Plus is integrated into the Google Apps
world that users arealready familiar with, and it continuesto become more
and moreintegrated with theGA user experience, it’s not just another tool.
And did I mentionit is fun? Now, before we get to the fun stuff, let’s review
a few things from the domain security perspective. First of all, it is
important tonotethat Google+ is platform with public facing capabilities.
We usually hear from our customersthat they have a lot of concern around
the fact that Google+ is not a company only platform. This can be a
showstopper for many organizations. However, it may be helpful to think
about thisconcernmuch like those of any other social media or messaging
platform. The samerisks for publishing internal content to the public exist
whether the user accidentallysends an internal email to the wrong person,
tweetsabout something internal, or posts about it in Facebook, as exist in
Google+ today. So using Plus, in fact, is no different from using the other
tools, thereare risks, but thecompanycan do many things to prepare their
users and preventing these risks from happening.
Answer the following question.
Q1. What is Google+? Discuss its importance in internal
communications.
Q2. Give your comments on “Google+ is not a company only
platform”
