Personal Collection (PC) chose Google Workspace primarily because it offered a lower total cost of ownership than the company's previous provider, and also due to the need to mitigate potential audit exposures from its former vendor. Beyond cost, Google Workspace had a reputation for innovation and familiarity among PC users, especially those accustomed to Gmail and Android - this made it a good choice for a smooth transition and long-term growth.

As Rufino Tinio Jr., PC's Head of Infrastructure & Service Management, describes it, 

"To stay ahead in a rapidly evolving industry, we've adopted Google Workspace. Its secure and intuitive collaboration suite has been instrumental in streamlining our operations and enhancing productivity across the entire organization."

Since migrating to Google Workspace, PC has transformed its daily operations, enhancing productivity and enabling seamless collaboration across its large and geographically dispersed workforce. With individual licenses for each employee, global teams can now use the integrated tools to work more efficiently. 

The connectivity between Google applications, particularly Google Drive, has improved document access, sharing, and real-time co-editing, allowing teams to collaborate on projects simultaneously from any location. HR teams, for example, use Google Forms for employee surveys, which streamlines feedback collection and internal communications.

The PC team also makes innovative use of AppSheet to develop customized, proprietary applications. A case in point is PC Dictionary, PC's own dictionary app for internal company terms, which aids new employees in onboarding and quickly familiarizing themselves with the organization's unique jargon. This exemplifies how employees are going beyond off-the-shelf tools to actively build solutions tailored to their specific needs, driving internal efficiency and innovation.

Furthermore, there has been a notable increase in the adoption of Gemini, with employees using its advanced generative AI across Workspace apps. Users across the organization personally attest to Gemini's advantages, especially its seamless integration with other Google systems, such as the Google Chrome browser, offering features such as email summarization that surpass other AI platforms. 

In the words of Enrique Juan Velez, an IT Delivery Lead at PC, "Google Workspace has truly kept us up to date. It centralizes our applications and documents online, making our organization more efficient and responsive to our business needs."
