Google Chrome Enterprise (Education)

Browser, OS & devices for enterprises

An enterprise solution built for the cloud workforce

Whether on the front lines or in the front office, all of us have the potential to be cloud workers – and when they work in the cloud together, businesses gain a competitive edge.

Journey to a cloud workforce

  • Modernize your browser: The web browser is often the beginning of the journey for cloud-minded organizations. It’s where users are accessing an increasing number of web and cloud-based apps. Using the browser to complete work helps drive companies closer to their digital transformation.

Optimise IT management

  • Traditional browser management approaches are time consuming and error-prone. Moving to a cloud-based approach to management can provide valuable insights and allow IT teams to set and enforce policies easily from a central place. Cloud management also lets IT take advantage of automatic updates – now a standard best practice, not only for browsers but for operating systems as well.

Adopt cloud-first devices

  • In conjunction with choosing the early technology adopters based on employee segmentation, determine which business use cases are good candidates for cloud-first devices and map them to relevant technology needs.

Evaluate workers’ cloud-readiness

  • After deciding to transition the workforce to cloud-first devices, an organization must answer two questions before launching a pilot program: which employees are good candidates to become early adopters of these devices? And what are the real barriers to adoption?
