"Google Apps will allow our employees to focus on what matters most - saving patients' lives."

Why Google Apps? o  We were impressed with the outstanding service and rapid innovation of

Google Apps o  We wanted a single product for our 90,000 employees to work better

together, from anywhere

Benefits o  Our employees are spread across 140 countries but with Google Apps we

feel closer together o  We can focus on our business instead of dealing with deployments since

adding new users is so easy o  We are removing communication barriers for our employees and that is really

helping them work from anywhere

Dr. Alan Hippe, CFO & CIO, the Roche Group


Why Google Apps? o  Over the course of eight years, Brady had acquired 30 companies, expanding its

workforce to more than 6,000 employees in 40 countries around the world. We needed an affordable IT environment that could grow as fast we were growing and help our global teams work together.

Benefits o  The platform has saved workers hours a week if not more, and only one person

touches certain information, guaranteeing better accuracy o  As companies come onboard, executives can easily connect them with their peers

and bring them up to speed on corporate knowledge via Google Apps. o  Our jobs went from constraining and limiting people’s usage to making sure

everyone uses these tools as effectively as possible o  We can add new users at 1/4 the cost of our old model

"Our overall time to business value has been dramatically improved thanks to Google Apps."

Luke Leonhard, Manager of User Experience, Brady Corp


"I believe Google Apps will help us achieve our objectives faster, more efficiently and with greater success."

Why Google Apps? o  With 35,000 employees and over 20 manufacturing and design locations

worldwide, someone is always working somewhere. We needed a platform that could help us work across time-zones and languages to be more productive

Benefits o  We can meet spontaneously using Google+ Hangouts or draft our team

strategy simultaneously in a Google doc o  Because we’re no longer tied to different time zones or other people’s

schedules, we can work together where we want, when we want o  We’re accomplishing more together and faster

than before

Mary Gendron, Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer, Celestica


"No matter what happens in the field, we never lose anything because it's in the cloud. "

Why Google Apps? o  Users can be demanding and push the envelope in terms of technology.

We were really looking for a cloud solution & Google had the best price performance value.

Benefits o  Google Apps has given us the guaranteed uptime we need. o  It's important to find things fast - Google Docs and Google Sites have really

helped us work more collaboratively and more efficiently. o  We can do what we want, when and where we want. It's seamless, it's fast,

it's functional.

Mark Thiessen, Photographer, National Geographic


"Google Apps enables us to bring our store experience right in front of the customer so that the customer experience can be best in class."

Why Google Apps? o  Before Google Apps, it wasn’t easy to share important materials like store promotion

schedules, store layouts, or PR updates quickly and efficiently. We needed to find new ways to differentiate ourselves. We had to look at where we could have the biggest impact and enable people to bring the experience in front of the customer.

Benefits o  We have a Google form on our site to get feedback directly from our customers o  We are able to track in-store promotions and inventory across stores easily and in real

time using Google spreadsheets o  From the corporate office to 44 stores, we are constantly communicating via Google

Docs about new products, how to set up their entry, to better inform our studio salespeople

John Edelman, CEO, Design Within Reach


"The new employees coming into our company expect more from technology. They wondered why we hadn't moved sooner."

Why Google Apps? o  We like Google's approach to continuous improvement. We get new functions on

an ongoing basis without the cost & delays of major releases o  Features such as Google+ Hangouts and Gmail translation really help a global

company like Ahold operating in multiple time zones and languages

Benefits o  The new collaboration environment is supporting global teams working on

implementing our new business strategy o  As a grocery retailer, it's easier for us to provide Google Apps to our stores;

they use it as part of their team workflow processes

Christine Atkins, CIO, Ahold


Why Google Apps? o  With so many offices around the world, we knew the only way to keep our

brand fresh and our business agile was to move to the cloud.

Benefits o  Our global teams are able to connect through Gmail’s video chat feature to

meet “face to face” about upcoming projects, designs and merchandise. o  With Google Apps, we were able to interview job candidates via video chat

and work with regional managers on important policies and resources that needed to be in place for new regional offices. I was elated to discover that what normally takes significant travel time and costs could be done right from my desk.

"Being able to work together easily across offices not only brings the team closer together, it also saves significant time and cost."

Ronen Lapitod, SVP of IT, Perry Ellis International


"Google Apps allows us access using any device, any time, anywhere, and that's what news is."

Why Google Apps? o  Email and calendar have evolved from nice-to-have tools to mission-critical

business applications o  Our goal was to bring multiple IT divisions together and have them start

working more collaboratively

Benefits o  We track the on-time start of our presses and product flow through Google

spreadsheets and retool our processes to be more efficient o  We save 10% of a our time a week just by using spreadsheets for our

financial reports o  We know our data is stored safely in the cloud and accessible from anywhere

on any device

"Spyder products embody a passion for performance and speed - two of the same reasons we use Google Apps."

Why Google Apps? o  Speed and innovation is key to everything Spyder is about - we are making

decisions at a moments notice and Google has allowed us to have a faster way of getting our job done.

move with Google Apps from any device o  We have manufacturers around the world and we use Google Talk and

Hangouts to communicate with them instantly from anywhere o  We all work on the same thing frequently, and Google Apps allow us to work

together, on track, and up to date

Laura Wisner, Director of Marketing, Spyder


"Being able to work together easily across offices not only brings the team closer together, it also saves significant time and cost."

Why Google Apps? o  As the organization grew, collaboration capability lagged behind. Te inability to work in

shared documents was taking up time. o  On Microsoft® Office, which did not meet the our collaboration needs, we ended up with 15

different versions of a document

Benefits o  With Google Drive and Google Docs, multiple team members could work on content, and

you could actually see it evolve in a very short period of time from a concept to a script for a TV commercial, all in the same shared document,”

o  By using Google Hangouts for staff meetings, hour-long meetings now take just 30 minutes.

Jim Nielsen, Manager of Enterprise Technology, Architecture and Planning, Shaw Industries


"Google Apps is built for team collaboration, which makes so many business processes much easier."

Why Google Apps? o  We were missing flexibility, access and speed. o  Our calendars couldn’t accept Microsoft® Outlook invites, basic file sharing didn’t work

across platforms, & employees couldn’t communicate efficiently due to the sluggishness of overloaded Groupwise email and the limited mobile access.

Benefits o  Google Apps saved us at least 20% over GroupWise & about 30% over Office 365. o  The pricing is simple. It’s easy to see how much value you get for $50 a year. o  You always have the latest features instead of being stuck with a specific version. o  Moving to Google Apps has been a great experience with a lot of solid business and

technology benefits.

Ezri Silver, SVP Operations, Jordache


"Google's price point enables our IT team to reduce costs and minimize or eliminate capital investment - a true win for our enterprise and our

users."

Why Google Apps? o  We had 12 siloed email systems, including multiple versions of Microsoft Exchange and

Lotus Notes o  As part of our "One MWV initiative", we needed a way for our users in 34 countries to

collaborate as one team

Benefits o  Gmale provides a single email platform while Google Docs and video chat allow for

real-time collaboration o  More than 200 user-created Google Sites make it easy to share information o  Productivity has increased by more than 30 minutes per user per day thanks to

powerful search capability and organization features o  Moving to Google has given us the ability to ride the wave of collaboration and

technology features that would be difficult to duplicate in any other product

Mel Shaffer, VP of Global Service Delivery, MWV


"The benefits are greater than simple cost savings. They include better customer service, streamlined business processes, and

increased flexibility." Why Google Apps? o  We were looking to reduce overall IT spending while improving service levels o  We needed a viable alternative to Microsoft Exchange 2003 - one that was

enterprise-ready and with a lower TCO

Benefits o  We migrated 15,000 users from Exchange to Apps in less than one week o  Our employees are more productive with email access and collaborative tools

available anytime and anywhere

Tony Aug, Vice President of Enterprise Apps, Sanmina - SCI


"Our employees are happy because Google Apps is easy to use and accessible from any computer or mobile device."

Why Google Apps? o  Our 3,000 employees relied on Novell Groupwise for email and calendar services

which didn't integrate with other applications easily o  We needed easier access to email on the road and outside the office across 30 offices

and plants o  If a server went down, business would stp and we didn't want to worry about that

Benefits o  The TCO is far less with Google Apps and we've made a return on investment in just

one year o  Our IT team can focus on strategic projects rather than server maintenance o  Our employees have so much more flexibility now that all of their information is on the

web
