Google announced the expansion of Google Beam to six countries and its first broader network through a partnership with Industrious, a global flexible-workspace operator. Beam units are now shipping to customers in the U.S., Canada, U.K., France, Germany and Japan, supported by 18 trained channel partners.
Marketed as HP Dimension with Google Beam, the technology integrates with Google Meet and Zoom. An eight-week internal Google study found that teams using Beam felt 50% more connected, found it 33% easier to ensure their comments were clearly understood and needed 21% fewer follow-up meetings. Google is also expanding its own employee deployment.
Bain & Company tested the system for university recruiting and candidate interviews, while Netflix and Capital Group are among its early customers. Starting in October, HP Dimension with Google Beam will be available for reservations at select Industrious locations in Atlanta, Chicago, New York and Palo Alto.
