Google Workspace is a powerful tool for professional services firms.
Here are 5 reasons why…
1. Your Professional Services Firm Can Easily Protect Sensitive Client Data
Securing your clients’ sensitive data is an essential part of running a business.
Even just one breach in your data security could permanently damage your company’s reputation and lose you hundreds of thousands, or even millions of dollars.
Luckily, Google Workspace can make data security easier than ever before.
Through Google Drive, you can securely share data with approved parties, significantly reducing the risk of that data ending up in the wrong hands. Google Mobile Device Management (MDM) and Encryption ensure that data is secure, even on mobile devices.
Google Workspace offers advanced access controls that let you set policies about who has access to each file and whether they’re able to download, share, print, or copy those files. Plus, updating those allowances is fast and easy.
2. Collaboration Within Your Professional Services Firm is Easy
These days, there’s no guarantee that your whole team is operating out of the same location. Fortunately, you can use Google Docs and Google Drive to seamlessly collaborate with teams working in remote- or home-offices.
Real-time edits, suggestions, and comments can be used directly in Google Docs to further support real-time collaboration. You don’t need to worry about version control or edit-locking, either. Team members can work in tandem without any issues.
3. You Can Easily Capture Client Feedback
Google Workspace makes gathering and analyzing feedback simple. You can use Google Forms to get insights from both employees and clients.
All you have to do is create a Google Form structured as a survey or questionnaire and send it out to the people you’d like to provide feedback. And these forms can be sent to large groups of people at once to increase the number of responses you receive.
The data provided by employees and/or clients through Google Forms is automatically captured in Google Sheets so that it can be analyzed and summarized.
4. Project Management is Simpler Than Ever
Through Google Workspace tools like Drive and Calendar, staying in touch with team members about deadlines or developments is as convenient as just clicking a button.
“For many of our employees, Google Workspace is revolutionizing their team and project work. Teams are more organized because everything – including timelines, budgets, and progress reports – are stored transparently with the latest updates available for all to see online.”
– Danny Attias, CIO, Grass Roots
There are also hundreds of integrated apps available in the Google Workspace marketplace allowing your team to continue utilizing tools that they already depend on.
5. On-boarding New Employees is a Breeze
Most people already know how to use Google tools, either from previous jobs or personal use, so on-boarding with Google Workspace is simple. Even those who haven’t used the Google suite before tend to pick them up pretty quickly because of how intuitive tools like Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Docs are.
Don’t waste time training new employees to use complicated, counterintuitive tools when you could make on-boarding easy with Google Workspace.
