Companies of Schwarz Group and Google to Sign Partnership to Jointly Deliver Sovereign, Secure Workplace Productivity Solutions for Germany and Europe (part 2)

Neckarsulm, 14 November, 2024 (APA) -

Workforce transformation at continental scale The companies of Schwarz Group itself will adopt a similar approach as it transitions its global office workforce to the Google Workspace solution. This will ensure that critical workplace data can be protected against third party access including foreign government institutions, and also transferred to alternate service providers if needed. "Switching to Google Workspace is an important step for us out of legacy and into innovative, efficient and future proof cloud-based collaboration," said Christian Müller, Co-CEO of Schwarz Digits. "Google Workspace is the most secure and reliable productivity platform in the industry today, and we expect our organization-wide migration to have significant flow-on ben-efits to all areas of operations from simplifying IT management to rendering our point-of-sale workflows significantly more efficient."
