Key Takeaways:
- The vision of Google Workspace was to have a single, integrated workspace : Everything you need to get anything done, now in one place.
- Across apps like Gmail, Chat, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Meet and more, consumer, enterprise and education users choose Google Workspace to stay in touch, share ideas and get more done together every day.
- In other words, Google Workspace serves as the platform to integrate all the above mentioned apps.
- For example, when a person sends out an email via Gmail, he or she can leverage the Workspace to shout to team members : "hey , please check out my email !" - instead of relying on a Whatsapp group.
