Broadcom Inc. is a global technology leader that designs, develops and supplies a broad range of semiconductor and infrastructure software solutions. With a globally distributed workforce of over 20,000 employees across multiple business units, Broadcom needed a secure and efficient collaboration platform to drive innovation and productivity.
Challenge:
Broadcom’s previous on-premises email and productivity tools were becoming increasingly complex and costly to maintain. The company sought a cloud-based solution that could streamline communication, enhance collaboration and provide robust security features while reducing operational overhead.
Solution: Adopting Google Workspace
After evaluating various options, Broadcom chose to adopt Google Workspace (ex. G Suite) as its primary collaboration and productivity suite.
Implementation:
Broadcom worked closely with Google’s deployment team to ensure a smooth transition to Google Workspace. The company adopted a phased approach, starting with a pilot program involving a subset of employees before rolling out the solution company-wide.
To address potential concerns and ensure user adoption, Broadcom provided comprehensive training and support resources, including online tutorials, webinars, and dedicated support channels. Additionally, the company established a team of “Google Guides” – power users who helped colleagues navigate the new tools and workflows.
Results:
The transition to Google Workspace has significantly improved collaboration, productivity, and security at Broadcom. Key benefits include:
1. Enhanced Collaboration: With real-time co-editing capabilities and seamless integration between Google Workspace tools, Broadcom’s employees can collaborate more effectively, leading to faster decision-making and increased innovation.
2. Improved Productivity: By eliminating the need for cumbersome email attachments and streamlining document sharing, Google Workspace has helped Broadcom’s employees save time and increase productivity.
3. Robust Security and Compliance: Google Workspace’s advanced security features and compliance capabilities have enabled Broadcom to meet stringent industry regulations while protecting sensitive data.
4. Reduced Operational Costs: By moving to a cloud-based solution, Broadcom has significantly reduced the costs associated with maintaining and upgrading on-premises infrastructure, resulting in substantial cost savings.
Conclusion:
Broadcom’s successful adoption of Google Workspace has demonstrated the power of cloud-based collaboration and productivity tools in driving innovation, efficiency, and cost savings across a global organization. By leveraging Google Workspace’s suite of integrated tools, robust security features, and scalability, Broadcom has equipped its employees with the tools they need to collaborate effectively, drive innovation and achieve their business objectives.
