With Gulf Infotech, a Google Cloud Premier Partner, it moved file storage and sharing to Google Drive and shared drives, restricted data by policy and adopted Google Meet for audio and video meetings.

02The challenge
What did Al Adrak need to fix?
Construction runs on drawings, documents and quick decisions between the office and the sites. Al Adrak needed its file storage under control: project files had to be easy to reach and to share, secure when they moved between people, and restricted by policy to the right teams. It also wanted better voice and video collaboration between its teams.
