Decision makers today are all about the bottom line, how can we increase productivity while still lowering operational costs? These are typically mutually exclusive goals, but does it have to be that way? Reducing costs may not maximize profits, if we consider technologies that increase production efficiency and we agree that greater productivity is a direct result of increased collaboration. Then it doesn’t take a leap of faith to consider that if we focus our efforts on providing better collaboration tools to connect our people, then we can achieve both goals with little risk.
Why focus on collaboration?
Collaboration is about people working together, the tools they use should be simple and secure while still enabling them to work from anywhere with anyone. Perficient offers best-in-class collaboration capabilities using Google Apps suite of productivity tools, from the browser to your mobile device, in real time, and without security compromises. Today’s knowledge workers are global and multicultural, they want easy to use technology that not only works but is scalable and works seamlessly. Let’s give them what they want, not just what they need, let’s make it simple, and let’s do it in a way that is scalable and cost effective.
Over 5,000 million businesses have gone Google for a reason!
“Millions of businesses trust Google to help them bring innovative technology to their business so people can work better together, from wherever.” Amit Singh President, Google for Work
Four key points that have helped these businesses decide to go Google:
- Increasing scale and innovation capabilities: Google operates on a massive global scale, there are no other solutions, built from the ground up for the cloud, that better integrate secure messaging and collaboration

- Increasing productivity: Google’s best in breed collaboration and document sharing makes it fun to work together.
