The benefits of Google Workspace
Google Workspace from Google is a cloud based email and productivity suite. It includes a business class email system, an online office productivity suite, cloud file storage and more. So, what are the benefits of Google Workspace?
Cloud based
Using a cloud based service enables you to work from anywhere and collaborate with your colleagues in real time. Google Workspace allows multiple people to work on a document at once and see each other's changes live.
Familiar
The Gmail email service has a powerful web-based client, but if you'd prefer, you can continue to use Outlook (or another email program) to send and receive email.
Secure
With features such as 2-factor authentication, an advanced spam filter, mobile device management (MDM) and more, Google Workspace keeps your data safe.
Flexible
Google Workspace not only provides an email system and online office suite but can enhance your business with cloud file storage, video conferencing, shared calendars, team chat systems and more.
Robust
Google Workspace is hosted on the Google Cloud. Data is held on multiple datacentres for redundancy. Google regularly achieve an uptime of 99.99%

Migrate your business to Google Workspace
We are experts in migrating businesses from their current email platform to Google Workspace.
Research
The first stage is to review your existing email platform and decide which Google Workspace plan is best for your business, and which other features of G Suite will be implemented.
Planning
Working with you, we agree a migration plan. We can prioritise key members of staff to ensure they experience minimal disruption. We then set to work setting up user accounts and configuring the platform ready for the migration.
Implementation
Your existing email archive, contacts, calendar appointments, email signatures and everything else are migrated to G Suite. Once the transition is complete, we are available to provide training and advice as to how to get the most from the new platform.
