Customer stories

Strand Sylvester, Product Manager, Asana
'All the streamlined processes that we've put in place empower our teams so that we can now take on bigger projects and help more organisations drive real business transformation by solving their most complex problems with Google Workspace.'
Kelly Wright, Director of Workspace, SADA
'Apps Script enabled us to build a workflow engine within Google Workspace that means that we deliver all memos and requests electronically and contribute to our vision of a paperless office. We have also created a central repository that allows users to monitor memo and electronic request submissions and track usage.'
Goh Lai Fun, Head of HR Systems, Singapore Press Holdings
'The convenience that our customers realise with our Google Workspace add-on is huge, which is why it drives adoption and long-term retention of our eSignature services. When customers use our apps as integrations, they're less likely to churn. Our trial-to-paid subscription rates are two times higher when customers use the integration from the Google Marketplace versus when they just download our app from our website.'
Tony Ramoutar, Senior Product Manager of Integrations, DocuSign
'The breadth of the Google ecosystem is super important for us. A platform that allows me to build once and deploy on multiple apps – that's a win.'
Siddharth Arora, Manager, Product Management at Adobe
