Javan: Transforming the way work gets done is essential to a thriving business that's using cloud technology. And that's exactly what we'll explore in this module. Previously, we discussed how cloud technology is creating a paradigm shift in the way businesses operate. Organizations that want to evolve with this shift need to change how they work to serve changing customer needs and compete with digital disruptors. In the course Business Transformation with Google Cloud, we talked about the superpowers of cloud: perception, categorization, recommendation, collaboration, and prediction. Now we're going to focus on one of those superpowers, collaboration. Transforming the way your organization operates is essential to maintaining competitive advantage in this new cloud-native world, and maximizing collaboration within your organization is key to this transformation. Cloud is not only changing the technology we use to mine data and build applications. The change is much bigger than that. If it hasn't already, cloud technology will fundamentally change the way we work. That's because cloud opens the door for new, disruptive technologies that affect how we plan our time, how we store and access information, and how we collaborate with colleagues down the hall and around the world. We call these cloud collaboration and productivity tools. They are applications that, when built in the cloud for the cloud, make your daily life a lot easier. With the right applications, you can easily collaborate with anyone from anywhere, accessing the content you need simply and directly. G Suite is Google cloud's collaboration and productivity suite, an intelligent workspace that allows teams to create, communicate, collaborate, and find the content across Google and third-party services. It enables you to connect with your teammates wherever they are. You can create everything you need to bring your project to life with an array of applications that cover all the different kinds of projects that you might be working on. And importantly, G Suite gives you the ability to control and access files and data more securely and easily. With this in mind, we'll cover collaboration and why it's so important for the future of work. Then we'll explore G Suite products and talk about how they can transform the way work gets done. We'll also look at some real-world cases so you can see how G Suite has transformed how other organizations operate. With that, let's get started.
