- My name's Peter Moriarty. Great to have you here.
I am gonna be sharing with you,
why you may consider upgrading to G Suite Enterprise.
And this is the enterprise SKU
of the G Suite collaboration tools.
And if you don't know what G Suite is,
then we got plenty of other tools
and other videos for you to check that out
and learn all about G Suite.
But this video is about G Suite Enterprise
and why you may consider upgrading to G Suite's,
most advanced edition of Google Cloud.
So who are we?
Well, we are itGenius,
and we help small business owners with their technology.
And we're all about helping you get an unfair advantage
so that you can grow and scale your business.
And a big way that we do that is by using Google's tools.
We are big believers in the Google ecosystem,
not just because we love Google.
We do love Google.
But also because we believe that Google's tools
and a business that is technology led
that is technology driven,
is gonna be more efficient, more effective,
and your team are gonna be more productive,
and that's gonna help you to have more business success.
And so that's what we're all about.
We're all about businesses being successful.
And we love helping
and working with primarily small businesses
and also medium and large enterprises as well.
But most of our customers are in the small business space.
They've got like a minimum of one or two or three employees.
They've just started,
kinda building out their first layer of their team.
And then our customers go up to organizations
with hundreds of employees,
that have really grown and scaled their businesses.
So our mission is helping small businesses
to become successful.
And we do that with technology.
And this is our growth roadmap.
This is the journey of technology adoption
that businesses go along,
as they grow and scale their businesses.
So right from launch phase
where you just by yourself a solo operator into startup
and then into growth,
where you really start to go from
how we like a lifestyle business,
and then you turn into
like more of a performance style business.
And if you accelerate
and you make your way out of growth,
you get into scale mode.
And so, when we're talking about G Suite Enterprise,
it's mostly appropriate to businesses
that are in scale mode,
or that are in accelerate mode.
You've really got out of that small businessy type stage,
and you're now in the stage of growing
and accelerating your business.
However, there are other businesses
that it is very appropriate
for the enterprise SKU of G Suite to be applied to,
and that is if you're in legal or medical
or, something else that's heavily regulated,
like maybe accounting, where you've got things like audits.
But it also makes sense in an accounting firm,
if you've got something like audits
and that's the kind of business
where you need to make sure
you have additional security controls in place.
Basically any kind of business
that's dealing with someone's personal data
or personal information,
and you need increased security controls
to actually protect that.
Then G Suite Enterprise is going to be a potentially,
useful option for you there.
And so when we talk about G Suite Enterprise,
how does Google kinda pitch enterprise?
How does Google recommend enterprise to businesses?
Well, they say it's the best at G Suite
plus advanced video conferencing
and advanced security controls.
And that's what we're gonna be talking about today.
I'm gonna be sharing some of the best bits of that.
What are the advanced conferencing
and advanced security controls?
Now, there is a crazy,
crazy number of security threats out there right now.
43% of cyber attacks, target small businesses.
And if you're a business in Australia,
98.5% of all businesses in Australia,
have less than 20 employees.
That's just a crazy amount of small businesses.
And this is the scariest statistic here.
60% of small businesses actually fold
or disappear within six months of a cyber attack.
Now, you've heard of attacks happening all the time.
At the moment they are hitting the mainstream media.
When companies have sometimes hundreds of employees,
have been locked down by attacks like a CryptoLocker virus
or ransomware,
and what that means is that all of your files
and everything in the business is encrypted.
And what typically happens
is you've got to pay someone some Bitcoin
to get those files back.
However, they're held at ransom for sometimes,
millions of dollars which is pretty crazy.
And that can obviously bring even a large business
to a complete standstill.
Now that we do absolutely everything online,
it's just not an acceptable risk
for that to happen to your business.
And we have seen law firms with 20, 30, 40 employees,
get struck by CryptoLocker,
not have the correct backup procedures in place,
even though they were on G Suite,
they didn't have the correct backup procedures in place.
And they got stuck with a lot of trouble.
Now you might be thinking Peter,
"Well, if G Suite is in the cloud,
doesn't that protect me from a CryptoLocker virus?"
Well, it actually doesn't fully protect you
unfortunately because, your local files,
on your computer will synchronize to Google Drive,
anytime your local computer gets infected
or encrypted by a CryptoLocker virus.
It's actually gonna go and spread through your Google Drive.
So there's a couple of things
that you need to make sure that you do,
to protect even your Google Drive from CryptoLocker.
But in general, G Suite is much safer
than having local server based infrastructure
because you reduce a lot of the risk,
of having local machines
that can easily be locally infected.
I gonna cover more of that,
a little bit later on in the presentation.
So, I've got a little poll here
that I'd like to share with you guys.
If you're a live viewer, who's on the call,
just make sure you jump onto the video now.
And I'm gonna share with you
a little poll here on security.
And there is a difference between the convenience
and actually being secure.
And I like to think of this as like a bit of a seesaw.
You've got convenience and you've got security.
Now, some businesses, the way they approach this,
is to really go hardcore on the security, right?
They block Facebook, they block downloading apps,
they completely lock down people's computers.
And with that, what happens is you have a culture of control
rather than a culture of empowerment for your team.
And that's an okay way of doing things.
The other way that some business owners do
it is they leave, security completely lacks.
And they're the kind of businesses
that are exposed,
or are at risk to something going wrong,
like a ransomware or CryptoLocker virus,
or maybe, data being compromised,
by staff members leaving the business
and taking data with them.
Downloading their Google Drive and then disappearing.
And so there's always this balancing act
between the two different extremes let's say,
of actually managing your security.
And so we've got results here.
I've asked you what is most important to you
as business owners?
And the result here that we've got is that
there's a bit of a balance in the middle,
for business owners that you wanna try and find.
And that's, exactly what you're looking for.
You're looking for a balance of security and convenience.
You wanna find the easiest way in the middle.
Now, is it easy for you to remember, by hand,
10 different passwords for 10 different websites,
so you can keep your accounts secure
by randomizing your passwords?
No.
No one can remember even probably two
or three different passwords.
It's really difficult.
But if you use a tool like that LastPass,
which we recommend as part of our growth roadmap,
well, that will automatically randomize your passwords
and save a different one in your vault,
for each website that you use.
And we've got another video on LastPass
that we published just recently.
And so you can see here that technology,
is the great enabler,
and that's where we can find that healthy balance
between convenience and also security.
But we can get much more secure,
by using some simple tools like G Suite
and like the other tools
that we recommend as well in our growth roadmap.
So, let's get back to talking about G Suite Enterprise.
G Suite Enterprise is a premium SKU,
or a level of G Suite.
You can see here,
the price is quite a bit more.
But very, very important.
Don't go and buy that just straight off the street,
because you'll pay the full price with Google.
If you chat to our team, we have discounts available.
There are some amazing discounts happening right now
at this very second,
during September, 2020,
which is the time when I'm recording this video.
But regardless of when you're watching this video,
please make sure that you get in touch with our team
because we have discounts available,
for the enterprise SKU for businesses of all sizes.
So please get in touch with us
and we'll see what we can do to help you out there.
Now, enterprise doesn't just include things
that you may already know about,
like recording inside of Google Meet.
But there's a number of extra security features,
specifically for enterprise,
that Google's really put a lot of effort into.
And look in the early days,
Google didn't get a great wrap around security.
They were a small business focused product,
some large organizations did move over to G Suite,
but Google well wanting to compete better in the enterprise,
have had to really up their game,
to have a much better level of security
in all of their applications.
And so G Suite has had major,
major redevelopments of the security features.
Hence Google have now created
a specific specialized SKU
just for the enterprise.
Now, it's not just the enterprise businesses,
you can implement it in a small business,
as I said, legal, medical, financial services,
But the enterprise is really,
really focused on the security features.
So, if that's something that's important to you,
then it's really important that you check that out
and you take advantage of that.
Now, why is it important that we consider,
what technology we're using?
Why is it important that we spend the time,
watching this video,
whether you should choose the business
or the basic or the enterprise version of G Suite.
Well, because if you're gonna be investing in technology
inside your business,
and you're responsible for the strategy of your business,
you wanna make sure that you're getting the most,
out of the platforms that you're investing in.
No one wants to spend money on something
and then not get the most out of it.
It'd be like buying a car
and leaving it sitting in your garage
and not actually using it.
And so, the reason why I wanna do my best to educate you,
on what is the advantages of moving up
to the enterprise plan is not so I can sell more licenses.
I don't care.
I make hardly anything on licenses with G Suite.
But I want business owners to be using technology,
to the best of their ability,
to both protect the downside,
and that's why security is so important,
but also make sure that you've got a productive team
for the upside.
And that's why we're talking about enterprise today. Okay.
So let's start talking about some of the key reasons
you might consider upgrading into G Suite Enterprise.
And if you're watching this video
and there's multiple parts in the video,
this is now gonna be the meat
where we talk about what's actually in the enterprise plan,
and I'm gonna take you through some of my highlight--
