Square: Pixelbooks and Figma improve productivity and design workflows
Overview
Square, the financial services technology company, needed to help employees remain productive as the business grew globally—while also keeping workers and their data secure. In addition, Square’s design teams wanted to solve design workflow challenges caused by siloed software environments. Pixelbooks with Google Workspace are now offered to new employees, reducing IT management and easing security concerns. As Square’s design teams adopts Figma, the browser-based design tool, designers can now choose Pixelbooks as an alternative to MacBooks.
