Google Enterprise Summit 2026: Endpoint Readiness with the Google Endpoints Readiness Tool

Enterprise endpoint strategy is entering a new phase.

As organizations adopt AI, modernize workplace technologies, strengthen browser security, and evaluate new endpoint platforms, the challenge is no longer simply choosing the right technology. Leaders need a clear understanding of their existing environment before making decisions that affect thousands of users, applications, and business-critical workflows.

That readiness-first approach was an important theme at Google Enterprise Summit 2026, where Sajed Sahni, Global Head of Solutions Architects & Specialists, Google Play & Devices at Google, highlighted the role of the Google Endpoints Readiness Tool by Codimite in helping organizations establish that foundation.

Modernization Starts With Visibility

For enterprise leaders, endpoint transformation often involves several interconnected priorities: security, application compatibility, employee productivity, AI adoption, device management, and operational continuity.

Without sufficient visibility, transformation programs can begin with assumptions about application usage, device readiness, browser dependencies, or emerging AI adoption.

At enterprise scale, those assumptions create risk.

The Google Endpoints Readiness Tool is designed to help organizations build a clearer picture of their current endpoint environment before defining the next stage of their technology strategy.

During his session, Sajed Sahni emphasized the importance of understanding what already exists across the organization:

“This tool does a great job of identifying what’s out there.”

That insight is increasingly important as enterprise environments become more distributed and complex.

A readiness assessment provides leaders with a stronger basis for answering strategic questions such as:

• Where are the critical technology gaps?
• Which applications or workflows could affect modernization?
• Where are security or governance issues emerging?
• Which users or business units are ready to move first?
• What needs to be addressed before a broader rollout?

The objective is not simply to collect more data. It is to create the visibility required to make better decisions.

Turning Readiness Data Into an Actionable Roadmap

Enterprise assessments can generate significant volumes of information across applications, devices, browser usage, configurations, and dependencies.

The real value comes from turning that information into action.

During the Google Enterprise Summit, Sajed explained how readiness information can move beyond a large dataset and become part of a practical transformation plan.

“It helps you make sense of that. It helps you build a project plan. It helps you answer questions.”

For technology leaders, this represents an important shift.

Readiness should not end with a report.

It should inform:

Prioritization. Identify the issues that carry the greatest operational or security impact.

Pilot planning. Determine which users, applications, and business units are best positioned for an initial deployment.

Risk mitigation. Surface potential blockers before they affect a wider transformation program.

Investment decisions. Provide leadership teams with evidence to support technology and resource planning.

Modernization roadmaps. Establish a structured path from the current environment toward the desired enterprise architecture.

Readiness in the Age of AI

The endpoint landscape is also changing because of AI.

Employees are increasingly interacting with AI through browsers, applications, workflow platforms, extensions, and new productivity experiences. Some of that adoption is centrally managed, while some can happen outside established enterprise processes.

For CIOs, CISOs, and technology leaders, this introduces a new visibility challenge.

Organizations need to understand not only the devices and applications operating across the enterprise, but also how emerging technologies are entering employee workflows.

This makes endpoint readiness increasingly relevant to broader conversations around:

• AI governance
• Browser security
• Application rationalization
• Data protection
• Employee productivity
• Chrome Enterprise adoption
• Gemini readiness
• Modern endpoint strategy

A clearer understanding of the current environment allows enterprises to approach these initiatives with evidence rather than assumptions.

Protecting Productivity During Transformation

Technology modernization cannot be measured only by successful deployment.

It must also protect the employee experience.

Users increasingly move between devices, meeting environments, browser-based applications, SaaS platforms, and AI-enabled workflows throughout the working day.

Any transformation strategy therefore needs to balance stronger enterprise control with continuity for employees.

This is where readiness becomes particularly valuable.

Identifying application dependencies, usage patterns, potential compatibility issues, and operational gaps before a rollout can help organizations reduce disruption and build a more controlled transition plan.

For executive leadership, this means endpoint readiness is not simply an IT assessment.

It is part of managing operational risk.

Codimite and the Google Enterprise Ecosystem

At the summit, Sajed also highlighted Codimite’s work within the Google ecosystem, including solutions across Chrome Enterprise and Gemini.

Codimite works with enterprises to address technology challenges across Google Cloud, Chrome Enterprise, AI, endpoint modernization, and custom enterprise solutions.

The Google Endpoints Readiness Tool reflects that approach: helping enterprises understand their environment first, then use those insights to determine the most appropriate next step.

For some organizations, that may be preparing for ChromeOS.

For others, it may involve strengthening browser security, evaluating Chrome Enterprise Premium, understanding AI application usage, or building a broader intelligent endpoint strategy.

The starting point remains the same:

Establish a reliable view of the current environment before defining the future one.

From Readiness to Confident Decision-Making

One of the strongest messages from Google Enterprise Summit was also one of the simplest.

Before organizations accelerate toward new endpoint, security, or AI initiatives, they need to understand their gaps.

Sajed summarized that approach clearly:

“The readiness tool by Codimite is probably your best place to get started, so you have the data to know where your gaps are.”

For enterprise leaders, that is the strategic value of readiness.

It provides the evidence needed to prioritize investments, manage risk, structure pilots, and move forward with greater confidence.
