PEAR Health Labs, a health and fitness technology company with a small remote global team, needed to stay connected securely. They had relied on foundational Workspace tools like Gmail and Docs since inception, but for document sharing and virtual meetings, they used various other solutions. These tools were siloed, difficult to secure, and couldn't keep pace with rapid growth.
Their decision to consolidate everything under Google Workspace transformed operations. They retired redundant tools, empowering secure, frictionless collaboration across geographies. Google Calendar and Meet made it easy to schedule meetings with team members from California to New Zealand. Google Docs enabled real-time collaboration on security policies and product development. Google Drive housed everything with user-based permissions.
The security benefits were equally compelling. Built-in data loss prevention controls prompt employees before sharing sensitive documents externally. Context-aware access controls ensure only the right people under the right conditions can access data. They no longer need complex security tools or VPNs.
The financial impact was significant: reduced licensing costs by thousands of dollars per month and saved on implementing complex identity solutions. As SVP Matthew Walker notes: "Google Workspace has been essential to our business from both a security and operations standpoint, providing significant value that far outweighs the investment".
