Letting Employees Work The Way They Live Securely In Google Apps

Google Apps provides an opportunity for enterprises to transform the way they deliver IT. The platform extensibility and rich ecosystem of 3rd party applications allow employees to work the way they live. Enterprises can accelerate and multiply the ROI of Google Apps by allowing their employees to adopt the web and mobile apps that make them most productive.

In this LTech Webinar, we will see how CloudLock Apps Firewall gives IT the peace of mind that employees can use the apps they want securely, establishing safeguards around apps that access accounts and data. In this webinar you will learn how to use CloudLock Apps Firewall to:

• Discover all web and mobile apps authorized by all users
• Provide app classification based on risk profile and Community Trust Rating
• Increases employee awareness with email alerts
• Allows IT to revoke apps in bulk

Are you looking for better ways to communicate with your project team, work group, or directly with customers? Want a place for your software pilot group to to communicate only on that topic. How about a place for your sales team to collaborate? Where do you keep training materials and collect feedback on current offerings?

Have you tried Communities in Google+?

Communities are a great way to communicate with a group. Much like Circles, you can pick and choose who you want in your Community.  Your Community can be private or you can start a public Community for your customers. Private means private. Items posted in a private Community cannot be viewed by those outside of the Community. Content can’t be shared outside of that community either!

Post photos, videos, and documents…even have a real time chat and start a group video conference, directly from your Community. Imagine communicating with your peers, colleagues, and clients without email!

Want to see what it’s like to be part of a Community? Take a look at this short video to learn more.
