Case Study: Ethel Austin Cuts IT Costs with Cloud Technology Solutions and G Suite

Ethel Austin Moves From Lotus Notes To G Suite (Google Apps For Work)

ethel austin, a british clothing retailer, faced high costs and restrictive functionality with its outdated Lotus Notes email platform. Cloud Technology Solutions helped them migrate to G Suite (Google Apps for Work) to provide a modern solution that would reduce IT expenses and enable better remote access for its employees.

Cloud Technology Solutions implemented G Suite, deploying Gmail accounts for all stores and using Google Docs and Sheets to create a collaborative environment for real-time document editing and form management. This solution dramatically reduced IT costs, with a single Google mailbox costing 20% of an upgrade from their previous software, and virtually eliminated costly postage for forms by enabling same-day digital responses.
