Here are my key takeaways:

1. A Longstanding Partnership with Google Workspace

SADA isn’t just a newcomer to the Google Cloud scene. They’ve been a Google Workspace partner since its very launch and through various name changes. This experience has enabled SADA to become a trusted advisor and is able to guide businesses to use Google Workspace to its full potential.  They are also well recognized for their efforts by Google as they were named a Global 2024 Partner of the Year to add to their many previous awards.

2. A Champion for Google Workspace’s Core Strengths

Tony explained several  key strengths that make Google Workspace so valuable. These include:

• Endpoint Choice:  Unlike some solutions, Google Workspace isn’t locked into specific devices. Users can access their data and collaborate seamlessly from any device they choose.
• Unmatched Security:  Google Workspace prioritizes security, offering robust features like data encryption and access controls. This gives businesses peace of mind when dealing with sensitive information.
• Real-time Collaboration:  Collaboration is at the heart of modern work. Google Workspace facilitates seamless, real-time collaboration, allowing teams to work together effectively regardless of location.
• Unified Platform:  Gone are the days of juggling multiple tools for different tasks. Google Workspace offers a unified platform that integrates communication, document creation, and productivity tools in one place.

3. The Power of Integration: Google Workspace + JumpCloud

SADA recognizes that the true power of Google Workspace lies in its ability to integrate with other tools. A key example is their partnership with JumpCloud.  This integration simplifies identity management for Google Workspace users, allowing for centralized access control and a smoother user experience.

4. A Winning Trio: SADA, Google Workspace, and JumpCloud

Tony explained that the combined expertise of SADA, Google Workspace, and JumpCloud creates a winning formula. SADA’s in-depth knowledge of Google Workspace empowers them to optimize its functionalities for businesses. Meanwhile, JumpCloud streamlines identity management, further enhancing user experience.

5. A Look Towards the Future

SADA’s acquisition by Insight will ensure that they can continue to innovate and help keep their customers secure for many years to come. They will continue to ensure that all new technologies such as AI are ready to help businesses in the future.
