Google Chromebooks for Business - Use Cases and Customer Testimonials

How could Chromebooks & Chromebox help your business?  Faster. Easier. More Secure. Chrome devices are instantly personalizable and easy to manage, making them an ideal solution for bringing the power of the web to a variety of business environments. At Ancoris we are already benefiting from Google Chromebooks after we switched our sales team from PC's and replaced with Chromebooks.

Example use cases include:

Bring employees online

Many employees lack computer or web access due to cost constraints or the logistical challenge of supporting networks in new locations. Chrome devices make it easy to¦

  • Scale access to the web with computers that are simple to use
  • Easily share amongst employees with no manual set-up for different users
  • Give employees access to their applications, files and settings whenever and wherever they sign in
  • Administer and deploy throughout the workforce, no matter how many Chrome devices you have, or where theyre being used

  • A personalized experience to all customers just by signing in
  • Freedom from the dangers of viruses and malware, providing a truly delightful and differentiating experience
  • A stateless environment - meaning that, once a user signs out, the Chrome device is free of all personal files and settings, providing a ˜brand new experience to each customer

Equip mobile employees

Employees are on the go more than ever, whether theyre working in the conference room down the hall or from a cafe in Thailand. But mobile employees can be easily sidelined by a dead battery or an inability to connect to the company network. Chromebooks offer mobile employees...

Customer Testimonials

Jason's Deli

"The Chromebooks are almost effortless to manage. Staging, imaging, updating, and repairing software problems are almost non-existent issues at this point. Replacement is as simple as handing out a new device with no IT involvement necessary."

Kevin Verde, CIO

Intercontinental Hotels Group

"The speed of the device is by far the most frequent praise that this device has received from our test users."

Amy Takahashi, Program Management, Strategy and Innovations

Logitech

"We've had Chromebooks run over and stolen. The owners initially panicked, but then realized they didn't have to: their files were safely in the cloud and not on their lost computer. With the Chromebooks, hardware is 'instantly' replaceable and concerns about the security of information on individual devices is massively reduced. For IT, that's very powerful."

Randy First, IT Director

City of Orlando

"Managing the devices so far has been an extremely easy and uneventful process. The devices are quick to start, log in to, easy to use. Our users enjoy the light-weight devices and the ability to connect from available Wi-Fi hotspots."

Rosa Akhtarkhavari, CIO & CSO
