Google announces major updates to G Suite

Bengaluru, Mar 10 (UNI) IT giant Google today announced updates to its G Suite offering Google Drive tailor-made for the enterprise, evolved Hangouts purpose-built for teams. This include Hangouts Meet and Hangouts Chat, Add-ons platform to integrate Gmail with the applications customers use every day and @meet, a machine learning-powered bot that uses natural language to schedule meetings, a company statement said. Prabhakar Raghavan, Vice-President, APPS, Google Cloud, said in order for Google to deliver on this cloud promise, the company must not only meet enterprise companies where they are today in terms of security, compliance, and connectivity standards, but also raise the bar for what’s possible with our advanced machine intelligence capabilities. 'That’s why we introduced G Suite. In the past year, we’ve launched more than 300 features and updates to help customers reach their cloud potential. And today, at Google Cloud Next, we announced the next generation of our collaboration and communication tools, designed to help our customers take it to the next level,' he said. Hangouts Meet is a new video meeting experience designed to make meetings frictionless. Up to 30 people can join a meeting within seconds, no downloads or browser plugins required, and it integrates with G Suite so one can present files natively. Anyone can join from any Android or iOS device, and a dial-in phone number for each meeting helps connect employees who are on the road without wifi/data. Meet is generally available today and will gradually roll out to all G Suite customers over the next few weeks, the company said. UNI RS JW SNU 1348
