“In the last year, we’ve been fortunate to have the opportunity to completely review how technology can support our business. We have developed the concept of a ‘browser-first’ platform which places Google Apps at the very heart of our business”.
“We are aiming for all of our line of business tools to be easy to use and consumed via a web browser, giving our staff the flexibility to work from anywhere, on any device. We believe that the future of doing business is through a browser. ”

Haymarket Media Group "There are many compelling reasons to switch to cloud computing services. Our decision was driven by a real desire to improve collaboration, innovation and to enhance productivity within the group. Google Apps was evaluated against competitor products and selected as the product suite that could help us do just that.
In planning to replace our existing Microsoft Exchange 2003 system, we calculated Google Apps would help us achieve key business outcomes at a competitive price. The decision to switch was carefully considered with both Grove and Google providing tremendous support during our selection process, ultimately Google’s more open solution won the day."

Kromco
“The Grove team ensured that all of Kromco’s current staff emails, calendars and user contract details were entered into the system on implementation. Their migration team’s experience in alternate transitionary methodologies, training, the automation of transitionary methodologies and the ingestion of historical data, freed up Kromco’s IT Resources to focus on change and project management and low-level user training”.
