  The cloud-based Google Admin console allows IT to configure more than 600 policies from anywhere, control updates, and install or manage apps from anywhere. Even with robust controls, it’s still easy to get started with pre-set default policies recommended by Google.

  End users don’t have to accept any prompts or wait for loading screens; Google provides updates every four weeks that happen while users work, reducing downtime and interruptions for employees.

  Cloud profiles enable seamless logins across ChromeOS devices, and offline working for Google Play store apps, Gmail and Google Drive file keeps workers versatile.

  User workflows become cloud-first by default, with automatic backups and apps and data syncing across devices to prevent lost progress.
