Several People Are Typing | It goes without saying that booking travel for business can be a hassle. If you’re one of the over 46 million people using SAP Concur for booking business travel, this is exactly what their new Travel App for Slack can do for you.

Create Better Looking Sites More Quickly with Section Layouts in New Google Sites
G Suite Updates | Google is adding section layouts to the new Google Sites. You can use these layouts to quickly design pages or sections of pages on your site. This makes it even easier and quicker to create professional-looking websites using the new Sites.

Secure Corporate Data on Employee iOS Devices with Managed Apps
G Suite Updates | To better protect the G Suite data stored on your employees’ personal iOS devices, you can now specify that certain iOS apps be “managed” if your domain has advanced mobile device management enabled. If an app is managed, you can prevent the app’s data from being backed up to iCloud, and block unmanaged apps from opening managed app files.
