Telegraph staff will now use Google’s applications to access email and share documents and other information, journalism.co.uk reports.
“This will be of particular benefit to our journalists and commercial teams when they’re on the move and outside of our main offices,” Paul Cheesbrough, chief information officer at TMG, said.
This is part of TMG plans to move towards a ‘cloud computing’ model.”
“The flexibility of having applications online is of special interest in the media sector where journalists need to be able to collaborate with others on copy,” said Robert Whiteside, head UK and Ireland for Google’s enterprise division.
