Pakistan’s sovereign legislative body, National Assembly, has adopted Google Workspace to digitize work processes and enhance productivity and collaboration between its members.

Per the Prime Minister’s vision of Digital Pakistan, the National Assembly of Pakistan opened up a unique public tender last year, calling for technology companies to bid for an “Office Communication and Productivity Suite of Applications for the National Assembly of Pakistan.”

While many technology firms competed for the tender, Tech Valley, a local partner for Google Cloud in Pakistan, won the public tender with Google Workspace’s easy-to-use, secure and innovative digital productivity and collaboration tools. Through this project, Tech Valley has implemented Google Workspace at the National Assembly, allowing its members to utilize a suite of digital applications to improve their internal communication and productivity.

Speaker National Assembly, Asad Qaiser appreciated the efforts of the team and said: "With the latest technology and tools being enabled in the National Assembly of Pakistan in the past few months, Google Workspace has been a tremendous addition that will assist members to be more efficient.”

After the successful deployment of Google Workspace, a “Google Day” was observed at the National Assembly to mark this important milestone of digitizing the National Assembly’s back-end processes. During the event, a live demonstration was provided to all members to educate them on how to best leverage these tools to make their day-to-day operations more efficient. 

CEO Tech Valley, Umar Farooq added: “Multiple national and international teams have made sure that the productivity tools used by the National Assembly of Pakistan are completely secure and encrypted.”

Google Workspace provides an innovative, flexible and secure cloud-native solution for people and organizations to achieve more. Its suite of tools allows users to collaborate from anywhere, anytime. The solution provided a custom email for Pakistan’s National Assembly and includes applications like Gmail, Calendar, Meet, Chat, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms, Sites, and more.

Tim Paolini, Sales Lead, APAC, Google, was present on the ground during this occasion while Farhan S. Qureshi, Head of South Asia Markets, Google, said: “More than three billion people worldwide use Google Workspace to learn, work and stay connected to those that matter to them. Where there’s been a fundamental shift in where and how we work, we’re proud to be supporting the National Assembly of Pakistan and empowering its members with the innovative and enterprise-grade tools they need to connect, create, and collaborate flexibly and securely on any device – whether they are returning to the office, working from home, or serving citizens on the frontlines.”

With Google Workspace, local teams are expecting more efficient and effective communications. Moreover, with the elimination of unnecessary tasks, such as rotating files from one office to another or storing and retrieving critical documents from a physical location just to get feedback from teams, these digital tools are transforming the Assembly’s traditional and time-consuming practices.
