How to Save Time and Money with Smarter Workspace Backup


Did you know we offer a backup solution? If you're not using Patronum Backup, then here’s how it may save you time and money:

  • Automated Onboarding and Offboarding: Set policies that automatically run backups when users join or leave your organisation. You’ll always have up-to-date backups without manual intervention or having to pay for unnecessary data costs.

  • Automate repetitive backup tasks to free up your IT team’s time, making their life easier and reducing human errors.

  • Seamless Integration: Easily integrate backup with your existing Patronum setup.

  • Automate and customise backups for individual users and define the types of data each user needs to back up. Whether it’s files, emails, calendars, contacts, or Google Chat, this covers it all!

Are Your Emails Being Sent To Spam? (Only 33% have this set up correctly)

In a recent analysis, we were surprised to discover that approximately, only 33% of organisations have configured their email deliverability settings correctly.

33% have too many SPF records. Another third have other issues with their settings. All of these can cause problems with email deliverability that you may not be aware of.

I’m excited to announce a new feature we’re working on that'll be built into Patronum:

We're creating an email deliverability tool that will check to make sure that your email settings are correctly configured.

The goal is to reduce incidents of missed emails that cause communication disasters. Stay turned for more soon…




Webinar Replay: One Tool To Rule Them All (The Easy Way To Manage Google Workspace)

Lots of companies use manual processes for Google Workspace management, which is both time-consuming and error-prone

I recently ran a live workshop to help Workspace Admins to use Patronum to save hours of manual work and achieve:

  • Error-free automatic onboarding and offboarding policies for new users

  • Easier and more secure File Sharing policies and management

  • Better compliance (audit who has access to company data at a glance)

  • Set-it-and-forget-it policies for sharing contacts, drive permissions, provisioning and deprovisioning users

  • and much more

All with a single tool that’ll save you countless hours (and costs less than getting other tools to do the same thing):
