To thrive in a landscape with 24/7 news cycles and social media, McClatchy, a publishing company that operates 30 daily newspapers, was looking to arm its reporters and editors with tools to not only collaborate in real time, but also to spark a cultural change throughout the organization that aligned with its digital-first mission.
To transform into a cohesive enterprise, the company selected Google Workspace for its availability, flexible pricing, simple and highly secure manageability, and real-time collaboration. To help McClatchy make the move to Google Workspace, Google recommended SADA, a Google Cloud Premier Partner and 2018 Google Cloud Global Partner of the Year. “SADA did the implementation planning and a lot of the integration,” says Terry Geiger, Vice President of Technology Operations for McClatchy. “We still use SADA services and solutions to help manage our environment. They’ve been a wonderful partner for us.”
McClatchy started the Google journey by moving users to Gmail, Contacts, and Calendar to replace its legacy email, contacts, and calendaring solution. “As soon as people began using Gmail, Contacts, and Calendar, they started using Google Docs extensively, too,” says Terry. “It just happened organically and really took off.” McClatchy’s team also works in Sheets for tracking articles in production; Slides for training and other presentations; Sites to create internal information-sharing sites; Forms for conducting internal surveys; and Hangouts and Hangouts Meet for collaborating virtually.
McClatchy has realized numerous benefits from the migration to Google Workspace including:
Saving time and money
Enhancing employee satisfaction
“More students today use Google Workspace, so when they come to work for us after graduation, they don’t need training on the tools. They just start working and collaborating. You can’t put a dollar figure on how valuable that is.”
