Case Study: Azavea achieves seamless, secure collaboration and mobility with Google Chrome devices

Azavea’s Socially-Minded Employees Work Collaboratively Together Using Chrome Devices

Azavea is a Philadelphia-based geospatial web software and analysis firm and certified B Corporation that builds data-driven solutions for climate, elections, public safety and infrastructure. As the company grew from a small team, it needed better collaboration tools, more mobile devices for developers and an easy-to-manage videoconferencing solution for multiple meeting rooms—without a large IT staff.

Azavea adopted Gmail and G Suite (Calendar, Docs, Hangouts), rolled out Chromebooks for portable, long‑battery work, and installed Chromebox for meetings. The Google tools proved affordable, easy to deploy and integrate, reduced IT overhead, and let teams collaborate seamlessly from the office, on the road or at home as the company scaled past 50 employees.
