Empowering Global Manufacturing Success: Celestica Transformation with Google Workspace Solutions.
Celestica’s Digital Leap: Enhancing Global Productivity with Google Workspace
Overview
Celestica, a global leader in design, manufacturing, hardware platform, and supply chain solutions, embarked on a transformative journey with Google Workspace to improve global productivity and collaboration. Faced with the challenges of limited technology resources and the need for a better user experience, Celestica partnered with Google Workspace, resulting in significant savings of over 17,000 hours a year in employee productivity.
The Challenge
Before the adoption of Google Workspace, Celestica’s technological infrastructure struggled to meet the demands of its global workforce. The company was hampered by outdated laptops, limited mailbox quotas with IBM Lotus Notes, and a lack of mobility that forced employees to rely on VPNs for email, calendar, and contact access. This not only wasted valuable time but also hindered effective collaboration among employees spread across 12 countries.
Google Workspace Implementation
Migration Success
Celestica, with the expertise of Onix, a Google Cloud Premier Partner, successfully migrated 16,000 users to Google Workspace within five months. This migration provided a seamless user experience for over 17,000 employees, fostering better mobility and enabling a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policy with universal access on any device.
