G Suite becomes Google Workspace, but it's not just the name that has changed.
Google has brought together the G Suite communication and collaboration apps you've always known and loved, in an even smarter way to make you feel even more connected to your colleagues while you work.
The restyle will also affect the icons, not to mention the additional capabilities of some features affecting, for example, Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Documents, Sheets, Presentations, Meet.
In this new guise Google Workspace offers you:
- a more integrated user experience to speed and simplify collaborating productively
- rebranding logos: a new brand identity that reflects the ambitious product vision and the way applications work together
- tailored solutions to meet specific needs for a wide range of customers. New Google Workspace plans will, for example, replace G Suite Basic and Business with Business Starter, Business Standard, Business Plus followed by the Enterprise version.
Google Workspace represents in name and in fact the ambitious work Google has always done:. collaborate anywhere and from any device (computer, mobile, tablet), thanks to applications that are perfectly integrated with each other.
With the new updates you can collaborate in one place, share and edit content with other users in a meeting, or meet or chat within the file you're working on.
Keeping connected during projects and routine tasks remotely without drops in productivity is now a challenge for everyone, bar none.
Google Workspace, new user experience
The Google family has long anticipated this need by continuing to work on new features of its solutions.
The Coronavirus in fact has accelerated digital transformation forcing many businesses around the world to reshape their presence in canonical workplaces.
To help you perform routine and even extraordinary tasks, Google Workspace brings together everything you need in an even better performing cloud solution.

In the office, on the road, at home, at a client or vendor appointment, Google Workspace continues to support your need to create, communicate, and collaborate with simplicity, security, and ease.
Some of the key new features will allow you to connect to relevant content and people directly from the files you are working in.
Some new features of Google Workspace
Let's discover together some new features of this new update:
In Documents, Sheets and Presentations you can view a preview of a linked file without having to open a new tab.
When you @mention someone in your Document a smart chip will show contact details even for those outside your organization, it will provide context and suggest even actions such as adding that person to Contacts or contacting them via email, chat or video.
And if there are those who remember that interactions are important and that eye contact is important, Google has thought of that as well.
Staying connected is certainly important when working remotely and interacting digitally with other users.
That's why Google is bringing forward the Picture in picture feature of Meet on Gmail and Chat, to allow you to see and hear the people you work with, while collaborating together.
In addition to the issue of collaboration, the issue of security is also important.
Coming soon, Google Workspace will allow administrators to view logs related to Chat, Meet, Groups, Calendar from the Console.
Detailed data protection information will help administrators understand the sensitive information stored in their organization and will also soon be visible in a unified way with tips and best practices from the Console.
After the ISO / IEC 27701 certification for Google Cloud Platform, Google is proud to announce that Google Workspace is the first major productivity suite to receive an ISO / IEC 27701 certification.
Mobile work, digital transformation, where are you at?
Different studies have anticipated the fact that the phenomenon of smart working and mobile working will continue after Covid, at least for 48 percent of workers.
Adding to this are other reflections such as the presence of workers (1 in 4 working parents) caregivers and the feeling of disconnection that many employees have with the organization they work for or with their colleagues.
These issues should make it clear that the tools we use can make an important contribution, but first a new mindset is important.
The last period has taught many, even those who had not yet begun to approach digital transformation, that work is no longer traceable to a physical location.
This is as vital for start-ups as it is for large enterprises.
Google Workspace solutions for this ensure through their scalability, flexibility, security and simplicity everything every business needs to grow further.
