Good afternoon. Needless to say that we are happy to be back here, sharing the many adventures that we lived with our Chromebooks.
The corporate user has been on our minds for a while. What is at stake is bringing a very affordable and secure tool into the mix of corporate assets. This is easier said than done. Let's look at some concerns that the corporate use has:
Heavy investment in existing IT infrastructure: for over twenty five years, enormous budgets have been invested in training, equipment, talent and organization. Only an unrealistic person would think that a ship of that size will turn on a dime. People did not stop using their flip phones overnight because Apple brought its new device out.
Security concerns: the lack of understanding of the new platform gave rise to all sorts of phobias: not safe, no computer can work on a browser, the competition attacking the product, and announcing that their product will not work with Chromebooks. We know that all these claims are false.
Attacking the Chromebooks: called paper weights, flimsy because they do not pack the legacy hardware that very few need and use, I mean things like bulky hard drives, noisy fans, all got thrown at them.
Fast forward: after subscribing to your favorite version of office 365, downloading it on you desktop, you just have to go to the Chrome store and add office 365 extension to their browser, and that's it. Those who use cloud based application such as Quickbooks online, etc... only have to bookmark those apps and begin working.
Itunes music users do not need to panic, yes, they too can listen to their songs via Google Play Music for Chrome. It is a two step process, you import your music into Google Play Music, first, then you play it on your Chromebook. How do you import your music from itunes to Google Play Music? Install the Google Play Music extension on your Chrome browser, then add the itunes music to your Google Play Music library.
We know there is plenty to read here, but we hope you will take the time because you love your Chromebooks, and because you are special.
