Giacom Rolls Out the Google Pixel 8a as Company Work Phone
Pixel for Business Case Study
Giacom has recently rolled out the Google Pixel 8a as our standard company work phone, following a thorough evaluation by our IT department.
The move supports Giacom’s ongoing focus on providing employees with secure, reliable, and future-ready technology that meets the needs of a modern workplace.
Why did we choose the Pixel 8a?
As flexible and hybrid working continue to play a key role in business operations, Giacom identified the need for a mobile device that delivers long-term value, robust security and ease of use. After extensive testing, the Pixel 8a stood out for several important reasons:
Seven Years of Updates
The Pixel 8a includes seven years of guaranteed Android and security updates¹. This commitment ensures each device remains current and secure throughout its lifespan, helping reduce the frequency and cost of device replacements.
Enterprise-Grade Security
With strong built-in protection and regular updates from Google, the Pixel 8a provides a high level of security. This gives Giacom confidence that company data and communications are protected.²
Consistent User Experience
The clean Android interface provides a simple and intuitive experience for users. This has helped staff adopt the device quickly without the need for extra training or technical support.
Simple Management and Deployment
Support for Android Enterprise and zero-touch enrolment made it easy for the IT team to roll out the Pixel 8a across the business³. Device management is now more streamlined and efficient.
Affordability and Long-Term Value
The Pixel 8a offers many of the same capabilities as flagship devices at a significantly lower price point. With access to Google’s Tensor G3 chip and the same extended support, it delivers excellent value without compromising on performance. When rolling out devices across a large organisation, cost and value for money become critical factors. The Pixel 8a struck the right balance between functionality, longevity and affordability, making it a smart choice for large-scale deployment.
Premium Build Quality
During testing, the device stood out for its solid construction and premium feel. Despite its affordability, the Pixel 8a feels durable and well-designed, making it suitable for day-to-day business use across departments.
Impressive Camera Performance
Another notable feature was the Pixel 8a’s camera quality, which brings flagship-level photography into an affordable work phone. During testing, it outperformed several other models in its class, particularly in low light and fast-moving environments. For field-based teams, the high-quality cameras make it ideal for video calls on the go, while also enabling the capture of sharp, professional visuals for marketing, events and internal use.
“We were really impressed by how well the Pixel 8a performed in testing. The seven years of support was a major factor for us, as it aligns with our goal of reducing the total cost of ownership while maintaining strong security. From a deployment and management perspective, it’s been one of the smoothest rollouts we’ve done. I think it’s one of the best value for money devices on the market.” – Chris Coulson, 2nd Line Support Engineer at Giacom
The results
Since deploying the Pixel 8a, Giacom has seen a range of positive outcomes. The IT team has benefitted from faster setup times, simplified device management and improved consistency across the organisation. Employees have responded positively to the smooth performance, intuitive interface and reliable battery life. The overall rollout has supported greater operational efficiency while giving teams a device they can depend on every day.
Conclusion
The introduction of the Google Pixel 8a reflects Giacom’s commitment to equipping our teams with dependable, secure and future-proof technology. With the Pixel 8a now in place, the business is well-positioned to support our workforce with the tools they need to stay connected and productive, wherever they are.
