Heya, an intro from Niels

Hey hey,

I'm Niels Brockmeier, I have been working in my current role as a systems engineer for 8 years. I'm currently a Google admin for a school district with 8 schools in The Netherlands, that all work completely with Google. We have been working with GWorkspace (GSuite) since 2010 and at the end of 2021, we got invited to become a Google Reference school/district. We currently have about 6k managed Chrome devices between 5500 users that we support, and the amount of Windows devices we still have is something you can count on one hand.

I started at this district after finishing my school career as an intern here and quickly moved up to one of the two Google super admins. I'm also the IT department's trainer for anything Google-related, soon I hope to be an officially Certified Trainer, for now, I am both a Certified Educator (1 and 2) as well as Certified Chrome OS Administrator and at the moment I'm working on getting my Certified Workspace Administrator certificate.
Next to the Google Workspace duties I also manage our (security)camera system as well as our HRM system, SIS and virtualization platform.
Just like Kim and many others here, I love GAM(ADV) to lessen the workload where possible.

For this community, I hope it will be as informative as the old Currents one was. Scrolling through it to gain insights as well as ask for advice whenever needed.
If you have any questions or want to get in contact just send me a DM.

Welcome Niels!

Nice to hear that you have moved away from Windows devices.

Good luck with the Workspace Administrator certificate! It is a tricky one.

Have you worked your way through the learning path on Cloud Skills Boost?

Happy to see more GAMADV-XTD3 ❤️! (Hope you're seeing it too, @RossScroggs 🙂)
