"Google Apps enables us to bring our store experience right in front of the
customer so that the customer experience can be best in class."
Why Google Apps?
o Before Google Apps, it wasn’t easy to share important materials like store promotion
schedules, store layouts, or PR updates quickly and efficiently. We needed to find
new ways to differentiate ourselves. We had to look at where we could have the
biggest impact and enable people to bring the experience in front of the customer.
Benefits
o We have a Google form on our site to get feedback directly from our customers
o We are able to track in-store promotions and inventory across stores easily and in real

brand fresh and our business agile was to move to the cloud.

what normally takes significant travel time and costs could be done right from
my desk.
"Being able to work together easily across offices not only brings the

"Being able to work together easily across offices not only brings the
team closer together, it also saves significant time and cost."
Why Google Apps?
o As the organization grew, collaboration capability lagged behind. Te inability to work in
shared documents was taking up time.
o On Microsoft® Office, which did not meet the our collaboration needs, we ended up with 15
different versions of a document
Benefits
o With Google Drive and Google Docs, multiple team members could work on content, and
you could actually see it evolve in a very short period of time from a concept to a script for
a TV commercial, all in the same shared document,”
o By using Google Hangouts for staff meetings, hour-long meetings now take just 30
minutes.

"Google Apps is built for team collaboration, which makes so many
business processes much easier."
Why Google Apps?
o We were missing flexibility, access and speed.
o Our calendars couldn’t accept Microsoft® Outlook invites, basic file sharing didn’t work
across platforms, & employees couldn’t communicate efficiently due to the sluggishness
of overloaded Groupwise email and the limited mobile access.
Benefits
o Google Apps saved us at least 20% over GroupWise & about 30% over Office 365.
o The pricing is simple. It’s easy to see how much value you get for $50 a year.
o You always have the latest features instead of being stuck with a specific version.
o Moving to Google Apps has been a great experience with a lot of solid business and
technology benefits.

"Google's price point enables our IT team to reduce costs and minimize
or eliminate capital investment - a true win for our enterprise and our
users."
Why Google Apps?
o We had 12 siloed email systems, including multiple versions of Microsoft Exchange and
Lotus Notes
o As part of our "One MWV initiative", we needed a way for our users in 34 countries to
collaborate as one team
Benefits
o Gmale provides a single email platform while Google Docs and video chat allow for
real-time collaboration
o More than 200 user-created Google Sites make it easy to share information
o Productivity has increased by more than 30 minutes per user per day thanks to
powerful search capability and organization features

technology features that would be difficult to duplicate in any other product

available anytime and anywhere

"Our employees are happy because Google Apps is easy to use and
accessible from any computer or mobile device."
Why Google Apps?
o Our 3,000 employees relied on Novell Groupwise for email and calendar services
which didn't integrate with other applications easily
o We needed easier access to email on the road and outside the office across 30 offices
and plants
o If a server went down, business would stp and we didn't want to worry about that
Benefits
o The TCO is far less with Google Apps and we've made a return on investment in just
one year
o Our IT team can focus on strategic projects rather than server maintenance
o Our employees have so much more flexibility now that all of their information is on the
web
