Summer isn’t just for holidays, it’s the perfect time to step back and plan what’s next. At Patronum, we’re putting the finishing touches on Patronum+, our next big step in making Google Workspace management simpler, smarter, and more secure.

But here’s the thing: we don’t just build features for the sake of it, we build them for you. That’s why we want to hear from YOU!

-What are your biggest pain points with Google Workspace right now?

-Where do you feel Patronum could make the biggest difference?

-What’s working well, and what can we improve on?

Your feedback is invaluable. It helps us understand how admins, IT teams, and organisations really use Patronum day-to-day, and it guides us in making meaningful updates that solve real problems.

Feel free to get in touch here.

At the end of July, we hosted an exclusive session with Kevin A. McGrail, who shared a powerful and personal story about leading through serious illness while running a company and a cyber security start-up.

This was the first time Kevin presented this talk, which was raw, honest, and full of lessons and the feedback was incredible. Attendees appreciated the realness and the value, and we’re thrilled to hear Kevin plans to develop this into a book.

What made it special is that Kevin is part of the Google Workspace Community and simply raised his hand to share.

The Google Workspace Community is about bringing like-minded people together to share ideas and offer advice where needed.

If you’re in the community and want to host a session or know someone perfect to host, feel free to reach out.

And if you’re not in the community yet but want to be part of exclusive conversations and a growing network of IT leaders, now’s the time to join.

Here’s the latest news from Google Workspace, and we’re particularly excited about the Google Calendar Booking Page update!

Google Drive: Multi Model AI Classification
Admins can now train multiple custom AI models on demand to classify Drive content-improving accuracy and scalability with flexible training options.

App Sheet and Gemini: Extract and Categorise
Google AppSheet users can now leverage Gemini to automatically extract and categorise data from documents, images, and other sources without writing code. This boosts workflow automation, turning unstructured data into structured insights faster than ever.

Notebook LM: Video Overview and Studio Panel Upgrades
AI-generated video summaries in NotebookLM make digesting long content easier. The Studio Panel has been redesigned for better usability and content creation.

Gemini 2.5 Pro Expanded for Education 
Education customers now get higher Gemini 2.5 Pro quotas, enhancing AI-assisted learning, research, and productivity.

Google Calendar Booking Pages Integration in Gmail
You can now directly link your Google Calendar Booking Pages when composing emails in Gmail. This makes scheduling meetings seamless, eliminating back-and-forth communication.

Patronum complements these updates by giving IT teams even more control over user lifecycle management, data governance, and security automation, keeping your Workspace safe, organised, and efficient.
