Google Workspace
Google Workspace rebranded from Google Apps for Work in 2016.One of the world’s most successful and comprehensive cloud-based suites of professional intelligent apps, this platform delivers real flexibility and cost effectiveness.
Migration to Google Workspace is straightforward. It is also an easy platform to implement, providing “anytime, anywhere, any device” access for easy communications and collaboration. Google Workspace allows your team to work from anywhere with access to Wi-Fi, so little wonder then that Google Workspace is used globally by millions of enterprises and demonstrating its worth by keeping people connected during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Google Workspace has many advantages. Not least, it offers a choice of good-value monthly payment-per-user plans while also enabling the creation of documents, spreadsheets, and presentations, plus email and file storage, too.
Gurg have undertaken numerous successful implementations and integrations of this innovative software as a service (SaaS) platform for both small- and medium-sized businesses. With each of these, whether large or small, we provide the same exacting attention to detail, excellence, and value.
As both careful planning and preparation are prerequisites, Gurg first seeks to identify any latency, performance, and bandwidth issues to ensure there is no data loss or business interruption. The objective with any work we carry out is always to ensure that your transition is painless, seamless, smooth, and stress-free.
Whether a start-up or an established small- or medium-sized business, Google Workspace offers well-proven tools for collaboration, organisation, and security.
