In today’s data-centric world, Google Workspace serves as the backbone of many businesses, driving productivity through communication and collaboration. With the new Google Workspace Analytics Block in Looker Marketplace, organizations can now gain a deeper understanding of their digital workplace usage, collaboration trends, and security posture. This tool provides Workspace administrators with pre-built metrics to create dashboards, helping them track key metrics that drive business performance and user productivity.
