Alphabet Inc.’s (GOOGL) Google has announced an overhaul of its Gmail for G Suite business application by integrating its traditional tools to better accommodate the demands of people working from home.The new app does not resemble the traditional Gmail format and has been converted to more of a communication tool that integrates Google’s other platforms such as Chat, Gmail, Meet, and Rooms. Google stated that it will have an “Early access preview” followed by complete availability later this year to all G Suite customers. The changes were announced in conjunction with Google’s online version of its annual conference, Google Cloud Next 2020.In a July 15 press release, Google Vice President & GM, G Suite Javier Soltero said, "We’re integrating core tools like video, chat, email, files, and tasks, and making them better together, so that you can more easily stay on top of things, from anywhere.” He added, “I’m excited to help more companies make the transition to flexible work with G Suite.” This news follows an announcement on July 14 from Microsoft (MSFT) that it was “improving remote-working features” for Microsoft Teams by adding features for video meetings. In March, the popular business communication platform, Slack (WORK) also updated its overall design for ease-of-use.In light of the pandemic, many companies have begun to tailor their products to a workforce that is working from home.
