Whether on-site or at home, great tech has the power to bring people together

Situated Apart, Working Together

The workplace of today is almost unrecognisable from the offices of the past. And that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Big, open-plan spaces that sparked distraction have been replaced with smaller, dedicated workstations, home offices, and even coworking spaces and coffee shops; places where employees are able to concentrate more easily, and focus on the task or project at hand.

But there’s just one problem: when we’re not physically together, isn’t it harder to work together?

Fortunately, Google is solving that problem head-on.

Google Workspace – hosted in the Google Cloud – makes location redundant.

All productivity apps are available in the cloud at any time, from any connected location. Data, files, documents, and even people all become just as accessible in the virtual space as they are in the physical world.

When we use technologies that aren’t tied to a single location or device, we’re able to see changes as they’re being made, right in front of us, even if the person making those changes is on the other side of the world. We can work together on the same document, at the same time, from different places.

And with video conferencing and instant messaging tools, we can chat whenever we want. We can brainstorm. We can bounce ideas off each other. Or even check in socially to ensure we’re all looking out for each other. The right tech mimics real-life workplaces, even if we can’t always get to them.

At Innovo, we use Google Workspace to help our clients boost workplace collaboration by…

Implementing tools like Google Docs and Sheets that enable real-time changes and editing
Making it easy for teams to access video and chat applications like Google Meet
Simplifying digital communications to reduce the risk of misunderstandings
Empowering teams to work together towards a common goal and shared vision
Breaking down departmental silos, and bringing everyone together as part of one business

Removing the geographical barriers between on-site, remote, and hybrid employees
Building face-to-face environments in the digital space
Using file syncing tools to ensure everyone is always on the same page
Providing options for teams to collaborate in ways that best suit their needs

Have a look at what our clients are saying about us.

Paul has been fab! Even when everything was migrated, Paul checked in and carried on communicating with us so that if we had any issues, he could help us. He is very friendly and doesn't use lots of IT lingo, making things easier to understand. For Paul, there are no silly questions. He was so responsive when we contacted him, and he is always at the end of the phone.

The value of having Paul on the team is that you can hand a project over to him knowing it's going to be completed to a high level. He consistently delivers and that kind of reliability is hard to come by. I would highly recommend Paul for any Google Workspace migration or project you have.

Paul’s service has reassured me that my systems are safe and protected from viruses and other malicious activities. Paul is great. He’s very patient and despite the most ridiculous questions I ask, he always has an answer and makes me feel confident that my IT is looked after and secure. He’s also showing me how I can do things better and help myself – something I find invaluable.
