          mean the death of a dream.
        
        
          “This is a big thing for us because our mis-
        
        
          sion is to have a positive impact on peo-
        
        
          ple’s lives at work,” says De Baene. “We
        
        
          want to influence the workforce to change
        
        
          their vision. Too many people don’t like
        
        
          their job, and we think that’s a big problem
        
        
          in the world that we are trying to help—
        
        
          and we feel like it’s
        
        
          the only way to build
        
        
          successful organiza-
        
        
          tions in 2017.”
        
        
          De Baene—himself a
        
        
          company owner—is
        
        
          not naïve to the fact
        
        
          that at any time, team
        
        
          members need only
        
        
          go a quick Google
        
        
          search to find more
        
        
          appealing jobs and
        
        
          work environments
        
        
          if they are not satis-
        
        
          fied in the one they have. Listening and
        
        
          responding to the team’s and individuals
        
        
          is a great way to keep employee retention
        
        
          high.
        
        
          
            SHAREGATE
          
        
        
          From a microcosmic view of the work-
        
        
          place to the macro, GSOFT’s Sharegate
        
        
          software is used by thousands of IT pro-
        
        
          fessionals worldwide to manage, migrate
        
        
          and secure their SharePoint & Office 365
        
        
          environments.
        
        
          Put simply, Sharegate is a tool to help or-
        
        
          ganizations access the cloud, which ulti-
        
        
          mately means huge savings of time and
        
        
          cost. People can create files and collabo-
        
        
          rate without limitation because Sharegate
        
        
          takes data, sites, workflows, everything,
        
        
          reorganizes and moves it all to the cloud.
        
        
          As one client puts it, “Sharegate abso-
        
        
          lutely makes us more competitive. It’s an
        
        
          outstanding tool to have when discussing
        
        
          migration with a client.”
        
        
          GSOFT is making waves—and it’s all start-
        
        
          ing in Quebec. “We want to influence oth-
        
        
          er companies to join the movement,” says
        
        
          De Baene. “First, we are looking for Que-
        
        
          bec, then the rest of the world.”
