Al Shirawi: to a more collaborative workplace

Al Shirawi aimed for a rapid migration of its email data and collaboration platform to Google Workspace. To get there, iSolution delivered a basic proof-of-concept before developing a six-month migration plan for the wider company.

The challenge

As the company grew in size, its technical requirements and need for collaboration tools became greater. They also had to make separate investments in security systems across their portfolio, everything from firewalls and inbox security to an on-premises cybersecurity team.

The solution

Al Shirawi chose GWS, enabling its employees to work together everywhere. The group company documents are hosted in encrypted cloud storage on Google Drive, while its teams use the integrated Cloud Identity features. They aimed for a rapid migration of their email data. To address this, we created a thirty-day plan to move all of the company inboxes and archived data to Gmail.

The result

Using Google Workspace allowed them to speed up decision-making for 10,000 employees through a unified collaboration platform and complete projects about 25% faster. It encouraged 86% adoption rates among employees thanks to ease of use and accessibility and significantly reduced cybersecurity spend thanks to encrypted cloud storage and integrated identification features.
