| New Early Adopter Programs: Team Drives and a new Hangouts video meetings experience Posted: 29 Sep 2016 02:29 PM PDT Along with our new name, today we're announcing a number of new features to help employees work together as teams on strategic and creative projects to better serve their customers. Two of these features are coming soon as Early Adopter Programs: Drive for teams When Google Drive launched in 2012, bringing all of your work to all of your devices was a key focus. Today, with Drive installed on more than one billion smartphones, mobility is a given. As businesses have adopted Google Drive, a new focus has emerged: teams. Teams move fast, they grow, they shrink, they're rebuilt. In order to keep pace, a new capability called Team Drives redefines the model, shifting from a focus on the individual user to a focus on the team. Content ownership and sharing are managed at the team level, and new roles give more granular control over team content. Team Drives help streamline teamwork from end-to-end, from onboarding a new team member (add her to the team and she instantly has access to all of the work in one place) to offboarding a departing team member (remove him from the team and all of his work stays right in place), and everything in-between. We've been previewing Team Drives with a small set of customers, and we'll be extending this capability to more customers through an Early Adopter Program.  Meetings for teams Teams extend beyond office walls — spanning countries and companies — and video meetings have become critical to bringing teams together. No matter where you're sitting or even when you're on the go, you expect to be plugged in so you never have to worry about missing a thing. A new meeting experience for Google Hangouts makes this exceedingly easy: no downloads, no browser plugins, invite anyone, join from any device, even without an account or a data connection. Every meeting generates a short link and dial-in phone number so you can invite anyone without friction. An updated user interface accommodates up to 50 video participants, and with seamless integration into Calendar and instant screen sharing, your team will be better connected than it ever was before. Like Team Drives, we've been previewing this new meeting experience with a small set of customers and we'll be extending this to more customers through an Early Adopter Program.  Provide your information here to learn more about these Early Adopter Programs when they launch.

| Explore in Docs, Sheets and Slides makes work a breeze — and makes you look good, too Posted: 29 Sep 2016 10:54 AM PDT (Cross-posted from the Google Docs Blog) We built Google Docs to help you create your best work — from work, school or home, and everywhere in between. We know crafting presentations, projects and reports takes time and energy. That's why today we're introducing Explore in Docs, Sheets and Slides to bring you insights, design tools and research recommendations so you can create better work, faster. Explore uses Google smarts to help you create amazing presentations, spreadsheets and documents in a fraction of the time they used to take…so you can get on with what's most important in your life. It's like having a researcher, analyst and designer by your side. Insights, instantly Today's updates to Explore in Sheets help you decipher your data easily, whether you're new to spreadsheets or a formula pro. Just ask Explore — with words, not formulas — to get answers about your data. You can ask questions like "how many units were sold on Black Friday?," "what are the top three items by sales price?," or "what was the total cost of jackets last month?" Less time crunching numbers + crafting formulas = more time to find key insights and use them. We've also added new formatting suggestions to help make your data pop. Explore in Sheets is available on the web, Android and now on iOS, too!  Beauty, baked in Crafting the perfect pitch deck or sharing your team's story is hard enough without having to make it look great, too. Explore in Slides makes design polishing simple. As you work, Explore dynamically generates design suggestions, based on the content of your slide. Simply pick a recommendation and apply it with a single click — no cropping, resizing or reformatting required. We've seen that people save over 30% of the time they would have spent on formatting when they use Explore. So even if design isn't your style, rest assured you'll have a beautiful presentation to be proud of. Instantly.  Research, made simple Explore in Docs makes researching and writing reports on the go a whole lot easier. Whether you're writing about mobile retail trends or planning your next team offsite, you'll get instant suggestions based on the content in your document. We'll automatically recommend related topics to learn about, images to insert and more content to check out in Docs on your Android, iPhone or the web. We know that it's helpful to refer to other content when writing an analysis, summary or proposal. That's why we've also made it easy to find a related document from Drive or search Google, right in Explore. Less time spent switching between apps more time to polish your ideas.  We designed Explore in Docs, Sheets and Slides to make creating and working easy and most of all, fast — all backed by the power of Google. Let Explore save you time so you can focus on what matters most.

| Save time with smart scheduling in Google Calendar Posted: 29 Sep 2016 10:49 AM PDT (Cross posted from the Official Gmail Blog) Posted by Federico Asara, Software Engineer Some topics are best discussed in face-to-face meetings, but setting them up takes too much time. Whether you're coordinating across time zones, hunting for a room, or just trying to find a time that works for more than a couple of people — it really adds up. If you're using G Suite, "Find a time" already lets you set up meetings much faster in Calendar on Android. Today it's coming to iOS and by the end of the year, the web. We're also adding smart room booking, so you can easily find a place to meet as well. Powered by Google's machine intelligence, "Find a time" suggests meeting times and available rooms based on your preferences, which saves you lots of time and gets everyone together faster. Time and room suggestions are smart, too: They don't just identify the first free slot in a grid, they also locate the next best slots as a back-up. For example, when Calendar doesn't find availability for your preferred time, it then looks for conflicts across the group that are easier to resolve, such as recurring 1:1 meetings. And although "Find a time" makes smart suggestions, you're always in control — just tap the grid to pick a time that's a better fit.  Start saving time for the important things by downloading Google Calendar for Androidor iOS(and look out for this update on the web soon).

| All Together Now. Introducing G Suite. Posted: 29 Sep 2016 02:01 PM PDT (Cross posted from the Google Cloud blog) Posted by Kelly Campbell, Senior Director of G Suite Marketing, Google Cloud All around the world, business is filling up with busyness. Employees today are more plugged-in than ever before, but technology too often gets in the way of turning ideas into game changers. For businesses, sharing and communicating has gotten complicated and often happens in silos. The bigger the company, the bigger the challenge. But what if technology lived up to its promise for us at work? What if it helped us cut through the noise so we could work together to focus on what matters? We created Google Apps for Work ten years ago (back when it was Google Apps for Your Domain) to do just that—to help people everywhere work and innovate together, so businesses can move faster and go bigger. And today, we're introducing a new name that better reflects this mission: G Suite. G Suite is a set of intelligent apps—Gmail, Docs, Drive, Calendar, Hangouts, and more—designed to bring people together, with real-time collaboration built in from the start. And there's a lot more on the way. Because we believe that when organizations break down silos, connect people and empower them to work together, we get the speed, agility and impact needed to compete in today's market. So in the spirit of teamwork, we partnered with some of our favorite illustrators from around the world to bring our ideas to life with their iconic creativity.  "All together now" by Matt Blease  "Great ideas happen outside the office" by Josh Cochran  "Meet face to face from any place" by Jean Jullien With G Suite, information can flow freely between devices, apps, people, and teams, so great ideas never get left in the margins again. Imagine the future for your business, if this was how it could be... Special thanks to artists Jean Jullien, Matt Blease, Chris DeLorenzo, Tomi Um, Jan Buchzcik, Josh Cochran, Xarly Rodriguez.  |
