Case Study: BuzzFeed achieves streamlined G Suite administration and secure offboarding with BetterCloud

BuzzFeed Relies on BetterCloud for Cloud IT Solutions

BuzzFeed, the global media company founded in 2006, built its operations on G Suite but ran into limits with the native Admin console: they needed bulk updates to Google Groups and permissions, reliable user provisioning and deprovisioning, password policy enforcement, visibility into third‑party apps and Drive sharing, and a way to standardize email signatures. With an IT team of four, BuzzFeed’s lead admin sought a third‑party solution to replace spreadsheets and manual processes.

BetterCloud provided that solution, offering bulk Group management, click‑by‑click offboarding and provisioning workflows, enforced password rotation, apps audits, Drive visibility tools, and signature standardization. The result: automated, auditable admin workflows that replaced error‑prone spreadsheets, improved security and data visibility, and became part of the IT team’s daily operations.
