MARA SOSS: Welcome to our session covering
the professional Google Workspace administrator
training and certification.
We have some great opportunities to share
with you and your teams.
I'm Mara Soss, the Google Cloud credentials engagement lead.
With the demand for Google Workspace skills increasing,
our partners and customers are looking
to grow their team of professionals
with the validated Google Workspace skills
to help them achieve their digital transformation
and productivity goals.
Getting your team certified can be
the first step in not only improving client satisfaction,
yet are also a great way to invest in skills development
for your teams.
Recently collected data states that nearly 70%
of organizations recognize that certification speed up
technology implementation, leading
to greater staff productivity.
The same report also found that 85% of IT consultants
agree that certification represents
validation of expensive product and process knowledge.
Finally, fully certified teams are 35% more likely
than partially certified teams to finish projects ahead
of schedule, typically reaching their targets
more than two weeks early.
To talk more about the job role of a Google Workspace
administrator and the impact that the professional Google
Workspace administrator certification can
have on your business and career,
I welcome Kimberley, Google Workspace customer engineer.
KIMBERLEY ATALA: Certified Workspace administrators
have an important role at any organization.
They enable people to work together, communicate,
and access data in a secure and efficient manner.
Operating with an engineering and solutions mindset,
they use tools, programming languages, and APIs
to automate workflows.
The Google Workspace training and certification
offers to grow and showcase your team's skills,
help them gain confidence in their abilities,
and stay current to give their company a competitive edge.
I've worked with businesses evaluating and deploying
Google Workspace for seven years at Google,
and as a customer engineer, I've seen firsthand
how the certification helps my customers achieve business
goals faster and solve their organization's toughest
business challenges quicker with a team that has the right Cloud
skills.
With my customers who have gone through the training
and achieved the certification, they
have seen accelerated deployment timelines, hardened security,
and quicker resolution to IT issues on an ongoing basis.
I worked with one customer with several thousand users
facing a re-up on their on-prem exchange server.
Their extremely lean IT team didn't have the bandwidth
to manage everything, and leadership
preferred not to expand hiring.
But they had been using their current solution for decades.
To make matters even more difficult,
their industry was facing new compliance requirements
for handling sensitive data, so they really
needed to reduce time spent administering while avoiding
any gaps in security.
The Workspace training and certification
helped their existing IT team translate their experience
administering their current systems
and learn Google best practices-- not just
solving the same problems with replacement features
but finding actual new approaches to solve
those business challenges in a more secure and automated way.
They were even able to solve a few new business
challenges along the way with their newfound skills
in deploying zero trust.
You're the expert on how your organization operates today,
but the Google professional Workspace administrator
certification can build your team
of experts and unlock Google technology
to propel your business forward.
