Digital Workplace

Our vision of the Digital Workplace

The digital workplace is the first point of contact between an employee and the enterprise. We see it not as a suite of office tools but as the collaboration and productivity infrastructure that determines an organisation's ability to innovate and react.

The era of email-and-word-processor is over. The modern workplace is an agentic environment where collaboration tools are AI-augmented, business processes are automated, and every employee has an intelligent assistant fitted to their role. As Michel Serres put it, "our head is in our hands" — having externalised memory into our phones, we now externalise part of our reasoning into our tools of work.

Google Workspace and Gemini

SFEIR is one of the most experienced Google Workspace partners in France, with 16 years on the suite. Our expertise spans the full platform — Gmail and Chat, Drive and Shared Drives, Meet, Docs/Sheets/Slides and the Admin Console — covering email routing, DLP, document governance, hybrid meeting rooms and device management.

Gemini for Google Workspace turns each tool into an intelligent assistant. We go beyond default activation to build custom Gemini workflows tailored to each organisation's processes — optimised prompts, contextual templates and targeted training by user population.

Augmented collaboration and automation

We design intelligent workspaces where AI actively facilitates collaboration: knowledge management systems that turn collective expertise into a queryable "collective brain", structured asynchronous communication to cut the meeting-and-email overload, and hybrid digital headquarters that unify the experience for on-site and remote teams.

Using Google Apps Script and AppSheet — plus integration platforms like Workato and Make for cross-application flows — we automate business processes directly inside the Workspace ecosystem: approval workflows, document generation, bidirectional data sync with CRM/ERP/HRIS, and no-code internal applications.

Adoption, security and conversational AI

Technology is worthless without adoption. We know that 80% of a workplace project's success is non-technological — roughly a third HR, a third organisation, a third change management. Our structured adoption programme covers usage diagnosis, a champions network, contextual training and adoption dashboards. And we don't chase 5%: we target radical 10x shifts in how people actually work.

Security runs throughout — a Zero Trust workplace with strong authentication, contextual conditional access, DLP and full GDPR compliance (European data residency, audit logs, records of processing). Finally, the traditional CMS is dead: we deploy dual-agent architectures (one agent for the container, one for the content) that turn the static intranet into a conversational workspace.
