Achievement unlocked

Dynamo6 is thrilled to announce that we are the first New Zealand partner to become an accredited Gemini for Google Workspace partner in ANZ. This achievement positions us as a leading force in helping businesses unlock the transformative power of generative AI.

AI is rapidly transforming the way we work. It automates tasks that currently consume a significant portion of employee time (estimates suggest 60-70%).1 While many already use GenAI in some form, security concerns often limit its full potential.

Showcasing expertise

Dynamo6 has a proven track record of securely deploying Google Workspace solutions. We were the first New Zealand partner to achieve a specialization in this area. Our commitment to expertise extends to generative AI as well. Our team rigorously participated in a challenging accreditation programme, showcasing their deep understanding of Gemini and its capabilities, including data protection.

The accreditation council praised our ability to translate complex AI concepts into tangible business benefits. For instance, during the review process, we presented a proof-of-concept chatbot developed in our November 2023 hackathon. This chatbot could answer resident and planning worker questions about bylaws (for example, "Can I build a granny flat?"), significantly reducing the time to find an answer.

Generative AI is a game-changer, but it's essential to approach it cautiously. At Dynamo6, we're committed to helping businesses harness its full potential while mitigating the risks. Our accreditation as the first New Zealand Gemini for Google Workspace partner positions us as the ideal guide in this new era of AI.

The journey and direction

The accreditation programme featured a presentation in which the Dynamo6 team showcased the breadth of Google Cloud's Gemini offerings, highlighting how each tool can enhance your workflow. This included an explanation of Google's AI development journey, from DeepMind in 2015 to the BERT model and the recent release of Bard conversational AI in 2023. It also covered the responsibility principles governing it.2 

In addition, the team demonstrated the best use cases and roles organisations should consider empowering with generative AI. For example, research from McKinsey suggests that about 75 per cent of the value generative AI is anticipated to drive is due to role transformation and performance boosts across sales and marketing, customer operations, software development, and research functions.3

Dedication rewarded

This accreditation is a testament to our team's dedication and hard work. Their problem-solving skills and enthusiastic participation throughout the process were truly commendable. We demonstrated practical applications of Gemini in Google Workspace, such as summarising documents and notes for efficient executive summaries. We also highlighted the advantages of using Gemini with an enterprise license, including data privacy.4
