G Suite Essentials - One Stop Solution for All Your Needs

In times when the world is @ home quarantine, where businesses are struggling to keep up the pace because of limited to zero mobility of employees and clients, where work from home has become a mandate for all, not just an option, communication and working in collaboration have become major challenges. 

Accessibility to Cloud has become important because it gives you the flexibility to work from Anywhere, Anytime in the world. 

Google, one of the Pioneers of cloud technology in today’s world has come up with Aid in this dire situation of crisis. 

G Suite Essential is a new SKU launched by Google which will include two of the most important features. 

• Secure, enterprise-grade video conferencing
• Modern collaboration tools to supercharge teamwork 

Looking at the current scenario, Video conferences have never been more important than they are right now. They’re how we get work done and, increasingly, how we socialize and stay connected with our counterparts in the corporate sector.

Many institutions and organizations have complex needs like few might need to stream a large meeting to thousands of employees, and while others might need to record a video training session for those unable to attend.

Here comes Google Meet which delivers seamless, reliable, and simple video conferencing experience. 

• You can have up to 250 participants per call 
• Record video meetings to Google Drive for team members who can’t make it to the meeting and 
• The option of Live-Streaming your meeting to up to 100,000 viewers in your domain

G Suite Essentials also includes the enterprise-grade versions of the collaboration tools like Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, and Slides.

The pro capabilities, for example, include “shared drives” one place for all of a team’s content and also Drive File Stream, which gives you access to large amounts of content while consuming minimum HDD space. 

These features and apps are integrated, so it’s easy to present in a video conference and collaborate on a document, simultaneously.

The plan will include enterprise-level advanced security functionality like data loss prevention (DLP), Security Center, Vault, and more. And all this comes with 24x7 customer support. 

The biggest advantage for the new G Suite Essential SKU especially for organizations who are not looking to make big changes to the way they work at this time is that it easily integrates with your existing legacy tools like Microsoft Office, Slack, and Salesforce.

Few examples include scheduling your meetings in Meet through your Outlook Calendar, automatically ensuring if the recipient has access to a file if you have sent a link to a Drive file from Outlook, etc.

This is to remember that the G Suite Essentials is launched keeping in mind the current scenario and will be free to the customers till 30th September 2020.
