Session write-up
Two weeks after GITEX Global 2023, Gulf Infotech hosted this showcase at Google's Dubai office for CIOs, CTOs and IT teams. Yahya Zakir Sait and Jojo Varghese led the afternoon.
The session had three parts. The first covered advanced Google Workspace features that many companies pay for but rarely switch on, particularly around protecting sensitive information. The second traced how the suite has evolved from G Suite into Google Workspace, with apps that now work as one place for mail, files, meetings and chat. The third looked at AI arriving in Workspace through Duet AI, which Google renamed Gemini for Google Workspace in February 2024.
The practical point for a Gulf business was to audit what the current plan already includes before buying extra tools. Many teams use Workspace for mail and little else, and the features covered here are often already licensed.
