How BU Bhandari Integrated Seamless Workspace Solutions for Better Management
Searce helped BU Bhandari navigate smoothly to Google Workspace. The shift helped the firm collaborate more effectively with colleagues and clients, heightened security levels and generated productive processes through Google Workspace tools.
Challenges
BU Bhandari is a well-known automobile dealer in Pune. Back in June 2020, the brand was on an on-prem setup and was using a variety of tools to meet its business requirements. However, certain aspects such as lack of security features, problematic functionality, lack of efficiency and communication barriers urged them to look out for a better solution. The company was also facing performance and productivity issues along with a surge in costs due to the dependency on multiple tools. Lastly, there were on the lookout for a centralized administration console.
Searce Solution
When Searce demonstrated how leveraging the power of Google Workspace could help BU Bhandari resolve their challenges, the client decided to go forth with it. Google Workspace’s main feature was a productivity suite for ongoing employee collaboration to drive efficiency within the organization, without compromising security.
- Making the shift to Google Workspace: After consulting and understanding Workspace through Searce’s assistance, BU decided to migrate 100 users to the platform initially. With this shift, they could determine whether it was the right fit to enable employees to work seamlessly across an integrated environment.
- Better functionalities and features: With Workspace, it was possible for their employees to collaborate seamlessly in real-time. It allowed for easy access to shared data, improved decision making & secured data and devices.
- Centralized administration control: Google Workspace also helped the brand add users, manage devices, and configure security and settings easily to ensure high levels of data safety.
- Easy and included applications: With a plethora of intelligent applications, employees could access shared calendars, send invites, connect on Google Meet & Chat or create on Sheets, Slides or Docs – all under a single roof.
- Helped the IT team to have better control of internal data: BU used Workspace’s security options like 2-step verification and single-sign-on to keep their data safe and accessible to the right personnel. Employees could also archive emails and on-the-record chats and manage how long to retain them.
Business Impact
With the shift to Workspace, it was easy for the brand to manage its employees and control resources with centralized administration. The deployment helped them work and connect with each other from anywhere, on any device. The transition also helped:
- Improved security score: Post-implementation of the recommended Google security settings, the domain now has a score of 75.3%.
- Increased Collaboration and uptime: Workspace implementation has increased these by almost 85%.
- Centralized Control of Security: The brand’s IT admin now has better control over corporate data security and visibility in managing devices and resources, creating a safe and collaborative work environment.
