Hello everyone! I’m Mario Alonso, and at Devoteam G Cloud I work as a Presales Engineer. My previous experience in startups and as a programmer have been the perfect base for my current role. In a nutshell, I spend my days analyzing the needs of our customers to help them adopt Google Workspace solutions that improve their productivity and efficiency.

On a day-to-day basis, I’m involved in client meetings, product presentations and team collaborations with my colleagues in operations. From the first cup of coffee to the last click of the day, my main goal is to thoroughly understand what our customers need and deliver customized solutions that drive their business success. In addition, I’m always looking for an opportunity to stay up to date on innovations in Google Workspace.

Could you share some examples of real projects you’ve worked on?

Sure! I’ve had the privilege of participating in a variety of exciting projects. I recently worked on a ChromeOS proof of concept with a Contact Center company, which lasted a year. In this proof of concept after evaluating customer requirements, the tools used, testing and end user training, we successfully deployed ChromeOS to 3,000 users. These projects have not only been challenging, but have also demonstrated the tangible impact that our technology solutions can have on the daily operations of companies.

How do you collaborate with other teams or departments within Devoteam G Cloud?

What is the best thing about your job?

The best part of my job is seeing how the solutions I recommend have a positive impact on the productivity and collaboration of our clients’ teams, and how they tell you about it.

What are the most challenging aspects of your job and how do you overcome them?

As a Presales Engineer, I constantly face the challenge of understanding each client’s unique needs and finding the best way to address them with Google Workspace solutions. During a recent migration project, we faced compatibility issues with the client’s existing tools and obstacles related to releasing an existing domain. To overcome these challenges, we worked closely with the customer and the technical operations team. We worked together to resolve the compatibility issues and release of the reserved domain, implementing a successful change management project to promote the effective use of the new collaboration tools. This collaborative and proactive approach allowed us to overcome obstacles and ensure a successful migration to Google Workspace for the client.
