I have to say that in the course of our relationship, I have always felt that we were in good hands. I sensed a competency and a capacity we hadn’t had before from the get-go.

Thriveon is one of the best things that happened to us this year. We started out retaining their services to obtain a more reliable and effective data backup solution, but their services to us evolved into a partnership where they are providing not only backup, but also disaster recovery, enhanced security, regular system and hardware monitoring and maintenance, and day-to-day speedy, reliable, professional and knowledgeable support services for all our IT needs (which Thriveon offers through their unlimited support program). Thriveon encourages support requests from all our staff members, for all of our IT questions, big or small, including questions regarding Microsoft Office and our other applications and software programs. Their engineers are friendly and really approachable.

Thriveon has provided the strategic planning and foresight that had been lacking in our IT environment. Our IT investments have transformed from reactive to proactive, putting us on the right track to improve our infrastructure, reduce our downtime and plan for future improvements.

Controller, Schell's

Thriveon has been an outstanding business alliance for our company. At certain times, we are high maintenance. It is wonderful to know that no matter what our demand, they are always there to help. In our industry, managing data and compliance are the cornerstone to ensuring privacy for our clients. Their reliability and dedication to network management lets us know we are protected. This has led to not only improvements in productivity but also peace of mind.

Thriveon has been working with us and guiding us along the way…We enjoy having more than a client-vendor relationship. We view it as a partnership. We rely on Thriveon heavily, and they’ve always been there for us. Their support for us has been unwavering.

Kevin Sellheim

CEO and Administrator, Sleepy Eye Medical Center

Thriveon truly focuses on the customer service side of the business. They impress us often with their support. And Thriveon is the first IT company that we found would prevent problems before they happen, rather than react to them after they happened.

With the change to the modern workplace, we can now access our files from any location at any time with just an internet connection. Our documents are at our fingertips whether working from home, at a client site or sitting in an airport.

Google Gemini Services Built for Secure AI Adoption

Governed deployment and practical guidance

Gemini Evaluation

Choose the Right AI Path

Before Gemini is enabled across your organization, Thriveon helps assess whether it fits your current Google Workspace environment, business workflows, licensing, and security expectations. This includes stakeholder input, use case discovery, risk review, and comparison against other AI options.

The outcome is a practical recommendation that connects Gemini to measurable goals such as faster document creation, better meeting follow-through, improved data analysis, and reduced manual effort.

Workspace Deployment

Control Access and Cost

Gemini works best when access is controlled and aligned with how people actually work. Thriveon helps configure user groups, permissions, administrative settings, data handling expectations, and rollout phases so adoption is structured rather than scattered.

This approach helps reduce confusion, avoid unnecessary licensing waste, and create a repeatable process for enabling Gemini in departments where it can deliver the clearest business value.

AI Governance

Protect Business Data

AI adoption raises valid questions about sensitive information, client data, and internal documents. Thriveon helps define policies for acceptable use, data sharing, prompt behavior, and employee accountability so Gemini supports productivity without weakening governance.

Cybersecurity guidance is integrated with Thriveon’s broader risk management approach, including documented controls, training expectations, and executive visibility into how AI fits your compliance and security posture.

User Training

Improve User Adoption

Many AI projects lose momentum because users are unsure where the tool helps or how to use it responsibly. Thriveon helps create role-based training that shows employees how to use Gemini inside Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Meet, and Drive for everyday tasks.

Training focuses on practical workflows, privacy awareness, quality review, and when human judgment is required, helping your team improve productivity while keeping AI use aligned with business standards.

Fractional CIO

Align AI to Strategy

Gemini should support your broader IT strategy, not sit outside it. Thriveon’s Fractional CIO leadership helps connect AI decisions to your multi-year IT roadmap, annual budget, vendor strategy, cybersecurity plan, and business application priorities.

Leaders gain clearer visibility into licensing, adoption goals, workflow impact, and ROI expectations so Gemini investments can be evaluated alongside other technology initiatives with disciplined accountability.

Ongoing Optimization

Optimize After Launch

After deployment, Gemini needs ongoing review as features, user behavior, and business needs evolve. Thriveon supports continuous improvement through adoption check-ins, governance updates, security alignment, documentation, and optimization recommendations.

This keeps Gemini from becoming an unmanaged tool and helps your organization identify new use cases, retire ineffective ones, and maintain alignment with your operational goals and risk requirements.

Turn Google Gemini Into a Governed Business Tool

Google Gemini can help your team draft, summarize, analyze, and collaborate faster inside the Google Workspace tools they already use. The value comes from more than turning the feature on. It requires a clear plan for access, security, user training, data governance, and measurable business outcomes.

Thriveon helps you evaluate whether Gemini fits your current environment, then builds a practical adoption plan aligned to your goals, budget, and risk profile. With Fractional CIO leadership, cybersecurity readiness, and proactive IT management working together, Gemini becomes part of a governed AI strategy instead of another disconnected application.

Use AI Where Your Team Already Works

If your organization already relies on Google Workspace, Gemini deserves serious consideration because it is built directly into the apps your team uses every day. Thriveon helps identify where AI can improve productivity without creating unnecessary risk or confusion.

Gmail support for drafting, refining, and summarizing messages
Docs assistance for first drafts, rewrites, outlines, and research support
Sheets help for analysis, formulas, trends, and data exploration
Meet support for notes, summaries, and follow-up action items
Drive-connected search and summarization for faster knowledge access

Adopt Gemini With Security, Training, and Accountability

AI adoption should be intentional, not experimental sprawl. Thriveon helps define acceptable use, permissions, data handling expectations, training needs, and executive-level success metrics before Gemini is broadly deployed.

The process connects Gemini decisions to your broader technology roadmap, cybersecurity program, and application strategy. That means leaders gain clarity on cost, user readiness, risk, and workflow fit before committing resources. For mid-sized organizations with limited internal IT leadership, Thriveon’s integrated model brings the structure needed to move from AI interest to practical adoption with accountability, documentation, and ongoing optimization.
