Megazone Soft (CEO Lee Ju-wan), an affiliate of Megazone Cloud, a leading AI and cloud company, has successfully built a digital workplace by applying Google Workspace, Google's cloud-based collaboration platform, to Cyberlogitec (CEO Song Young-gyu), a shipping, port, and logistics IT company.
Google Workspace is the world's most popular productivity tool, with over 3 billion users and 10 million paying customers using it to improve work efficiency and enhance collaboration.
MegaZoneSoft's Google Workspace implementation project lasted approximately four months and targeted five CyberLogitec subsidiaries, including the company's headquarters in Korea, Vietnam, Singapore, the United States, and Spain. Through this project, MegaZoneSoft integrated CyberLogitec's distributed work systems and data into Google Workspace. It also created a work environment that enabled real-time collaboration and communication between headquarters and overseas subsidiaries through collaboration tools like Gmail, Google Drive, Google Calendar, and Google Chat.
In an internal survey conducted by CyberLogitec following the completion of this project, over 80% of employees responded that their work had become more efficient since implementing Google Workspace. Furthermore, the four main collaboration tools—Gmail, Google Drive, Google Calendar, and Google Chat—all showed high usage rates, exceeding 90%.
CyberLogitec's existing groupware was optimized for the domestic headquarters environment, hindering smooth communication with overseas subsidiaries and external partners. Furthermore, the lack of company-wide integration led to security vulnerabilities in information sharing across platforms as employees increasingly used external solutions.
To address these issues, MegaZoneSoft successfully migrated approximately 14 million data items stored on its existing Document Centralization Server (DCS) to Google Drive, significantly improving data accessibility and management efficiency. Furthermore, it further strengthened security by implementing a policy that blocks external sharing and only allows sharing from trusted domains.
File sharing between overseas branches via Google Drive, and real-time collaboration features in Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides, enabled team members to simultaneously edit documents, significantly improving work efficiency. Google Calendar streamlined schedule sharing and meeting coordination between teams, and Google Meet enabled seamless communication across time and location through high-definition video conferencing. As a result, Gmail, Google Chat, Google Drive, and other collaboration tools were interconnected, allowing for integrated management of data and workflows, further enhancing productivity.
The mail system was integrated with Gmail, solving the existing mail system's capacity limitations and management complexity. Furthermore, to enhance account management efficiency, Active Directory (AD) and Google Workspace were integrated. During this process, additional security features, such as multi-factor authentication, were implemented, improving the account management system and data security.
Beyond a simple technology transition, MegaZoneSoft focused on systematic change management to enhance the usability of Google Workspace and support adaptation across each department. To ensure CyberLogitec successfully adapted to the new work environment, the company implemented various programs, including champion workshops, user training, and online guides.
To continuously evaluate and improve the effectiveness of Google Workspace, MegaZoneSoft plans to establish and manage success criteria and goals, including increased usage, satisfaction, work efficiency and productivity, and collaboration and information sharing.
Additionally, MegaZoneSoft plans to leverage Gemini, Google's generative AI model, to maximize CyberLogitec's work efficiency and support its global business expansion. To achieve this, a month-long proof-of-concept (PoC) is currently underway, and upon completion, a 2025 implementation plan is planned.
CyberLogitec Managing Director Kang Byeong-jun said, “We expect the introduction of Google Workspace to revolutionize how CyberLogitec works,” adding, “In particular, the real-time collaboration and communication features, cloud-based security environment, and AI-based work environment are expected to become even more important stepping stones for CyberLogitec to expand its global business.”
MegazoneSoft Center Director Kim Seong-gyun said, “For CyberLogitec’s successful introduction of Google Workspace, we supported data transfer and employee training based on thorough analysis and design,” and “We will continue to provide systematic support to help companies successfully adapt to the new work environment through Google Workspace.”
Ji-Seong Jik, President of Google Cloud Korea, said, “Google Cloud is accelerating innovation by expanding Gemini and language support built into Google Workspace so that more corporate customers can enjoy the benefits of generative AI in their work environments.” He added, “We will spare no support and cooperation with Megazone Soft so that CyberLogitec can make further strides in the global market based on Google Workspace.”
Megazone Cloud and its affiliates, with over 2,800 cloud experts, have become the first unicorn company in Korea's cloud MSP industry, achieving KRW 1.5106 trillion in sales in 2023. In addition to Korea, Megazone Cloud also operates local subsidiaries in eight countries: the United States, Japan, Canada, Australia, Shanghai and Beijing in China, Vietnam, Hong Kong, and Singapore.
