Google Sites

Why businesses use Google Sites to share knowledge

• Keep company information secure – Set consistent sharing permissions across all company sites.
• Make useful information accessible – Create an intranet or let project teams build sites to capture and share departmental knowledge.
• Share files simply – File versioning is done automatically, so it’s easy for people to make updates and get the latest version. Supported formats include .doc, .xls, .csv, .ppt, .txt, .pdf and more.
• Unify content from many sources – Display Google Documents, Spreadsheets, Presentations, YouTube videos, Picasa slideshows and gadgets without any programming skills.
• Find information instantly – Google search technology is built-in, so employees can find useful company information as easily as searching the Internet.
• Let employees contribute – No coding or system expertise is required to update pages or create new internal sites, so anyone can add to shared knowledge.

“In Washington, DC, we have improved the city’s procurement process using Google Sites to make RFPs available to vendors and the public. It’s fast and easy for city workers to add videos, documents, presentations and more. The new procurement web sites make our acquisition process more competitive and bring more transparency to our government.”
