Case Study: Pepperdine University improves email, remote work, and cloud access with Google for Education

Pepperdine University saves 30 minutes a week per user with Google for Education

Pepperdine University, a Christian university with approximately 10,000 students and faculty across multiple campuses, faced challenges with its outdated productivity tools. Its high-maintenance email system consumed excessive time for archiving and deletion, and its clunky, limited video conferencing technology hindered collaboration and remote work. To address these issues, the university partnered with Google for Education to implement Google Workspace.

The solution involved a comprehensive, six-month change management plan to roll out Gmail and other Google Workspace tools like Google Meet and Google Drive. Google for Education provided a cloud-based platform that eliminated the need for local email archiving and enabled access to files and meetings from any device. This resulted in an estimated time savings of 30 minutes per user per week on email management, significantly improved remote work and study capabilities for faculty and students, and enhanced disaster recovery readiness.
