What we do at Grove All about us - who we are and what we do We’re helping to Liberate Organisations by enabling business from Anywhere at Any Time on Any Device V2 Foreword The way enterprise business operates is changing. Business is now working with and competing on an international level; in different locations, across different time zones and speaking different languages. The ability to share information and collaborate quickly across these traditional barriers has never been more highly valued. Size of business is no longer the winning feature, it is time-to-market and the ability to adapt in a functional and agile way that makes the difference in an increasingly competitive environment. Google solutions enable organisations to be productive, collaborative and flexible in a highly secure, always- on environment. The benefits outlined on pages 8 and 9 detail the ways in which Google, through Grove, can support your business; offering a platform that enables you to focus, with confidence, on the things you do best. Furthermore, Grove and Google offer business leaders and IT departments a way to evolve their operations strategically, at a pace that suits unique business requirements. Is data security and service availability a concern? Google data centres are SSAE 16 Type II-audited, ISO 27001 certified and has achieved the U.S. Federal Government’s FISMA certification. 24/7/365 access and a 99.9% uptime is guaranteed with no scheduled downtime. Do you want to INCREASE productivity and REDUCE operating costs? Access information from anywhere and work with colleagues on the same documents at anytime, whether in the office, on the road or at home. This means users will be more productive, and the inherent cost savings associated with a cloud model means reduced operating costs. Does having to upgrade your software every time a new version becomes available frustrate you? Google solutions are cloud-based, software updates are just a refresh away. Adopting a cloud strategy involves an essential evolution in technology, and as such, Change Management is a key part of your cloud journey. The evaluation and deployment approach you select is unique to your requirements, and, by partnering with Grove you can be assured of a seamless transition where the full benefits of Google are realised with minimal disruption and fully comprehensive end-user training. As a Google Enterprise Partner as well as a Google Apps Premier Enterprise Reseller with a dedicated and highly skilled team of Change Management and Certified Deployment specialists, we are best placed to be your strategic cloud partner.
