Identifying your “cloud workers”: how are you approaching it?
Hi all, As more teams look at modernising their environments, one question comes up again and again: who in your organisation is actually doing most of their work in the browser already? Understanding that can make a big difference when it comes to planning ChromeOS pilots, right-sizing hardware, or deciding where a phased approach makes the most sense. One tool available for that is the ChromeOS Readiness Tool, which helps analyse device usage, browser and extension patterns and application dependencies to surface users who may already be strong candidates for a cloud-first setup. I’m curious to hear whether any of you have used the ChromeOS Readiness Tool (or another tool) to assess how “cloud-based” your users really are? It’d be also interesting to hear about your approach to users who are almost cloud-ready, but still rely on one or two legacy applications. If helpful, there’s a community post that dives deeper into how the ChromeOS Readiness Tool works and how teams are using it in practice — worth a look if you’re exploring this space. Keen on learning how others are tackling this 💪The ROI of ChromeOS: A Forrester Study
We're excited to share the results of a new study on the economic impact of ChromeOS, which highlights the significant value it can bring to your organization. The Forrester Consulting study, commissioned by Google, provides a detailed look at the financial and operational benefits of adopting ChromeOS in a business environment. You can read the official blog post about the study here. Why This Study Matters The study, based on in-depth interviews with four ChromeOS customers and five Google employees, offers a real-world look at how ChromeOS helps organizations cut costs and boost efficiency. For a composite organization of 10,000 employees using 3,000 Chromebooks, the findings were significant. The full report can be found here and is also available in French, German, and Japanese below.
