Vakil Housing embraces Cloud Computing using Google Apps
Google Apps
Vakil Housing is looking for ways to improve it’s efficiency using Technology. In the past we’ve taken several initiatives, and now we’re pleased to announce that our IT infrastructure is based on Cloud Computing using Google Apps.
We’ve been test driving Google apps for more than 2 years, and have found it very useful in several situations:
* Tracking progress of construction on Site (Google Spreadsheets)
* Providing Customers with information (Google Docs)
* Creating Department Portals to mange documentation & targets (Google Sites)
* Managing events related to Property Management (Google Calendar)
The key feature of real time collaboration has reduced the time it takes for information to flow between individuals & teams, and has also reduced communication errors.
We’ve noticed over the years, Google consistently releases regular updates to it’s suite of applications, and has also opened up it’s architecture to integrate with other applications via the Market Place.
With the constant innovation taking place, our team is excited to use Google Apps in the work place!

Move to Cloud Computing via Google Apps is an ‘Wow!’ experience, freeing up the much needed work-time for deploying it in further deliveries and increased system-efficiency. Feedback from team indicates visual interface could be made more simpler as in MSOutlook (or is it that over past years, we have got used to see so much of MS and now its a weaning temporary after-effect!?); am sure with Google’s excellent culture of ensuring continued innovation, it is a matter of time before this want is accomplished. Thanks to Google and without doubt, one can look forward to more such innovative products from it.
