  Millions of businesses trust Google Workspace to assist with their everyday operations. The most common reasons as to why they do this?

  • Real-time collaboration: Work with your team on projects no matter where they are in the world.
  • Gmail: Google’s Email for business gives your online communications a professional touch with customisable domains.
  • Low cost: No infrastructure to be provisioned and maintained with fast setup keeps the costs down.
  • Compatibility: Available on all devices so your team can work together across platforms.
  • Bank-grade security: 99.9% uptime and constant monitoring for attacks.
• How does Google Workspace work?

  Google Workspace purely relies on the cloud. What this means is your files, email and account details are available to you via any internet-enabled device. All you need to have are your login and (optional) 2-factor authentication details to gain access to you files anywhere in the world, securely.

  Google Workspace cloud storage removes the need for expensive and outdated software, licenses, hardware maintenance, incompatibility, lost files and email attachments which traditionally drives up the price, to give you an affordable service that is widely accessible.

  Simplicity

  Simply put, Google Workspace is easy to use. The suite’s interface is highly intuitive and customizable so that each user can have their ideal layout right from the start. Coupled with Crucials 24×7 technical support, you’ll be up and running in no time.

  Accessible

  Google Workspace is always on. If you need to work on an essential proposal after hours, you can, on any internet-enabled device, anywhere in the world. Files, contacts, archives, settings, live chat and more, sync in real-time, so any changes made are seen by collaborators and across platforms almost instantly. You aren’t tied down by one server holding all of your files anymore!

  Lower cost

  Google Workspace files are in the cloud, not on a server that you need to maintain. This, coupled with software licensing, server rental space, regular updates and monitoring, and more that is no longer required, greatly reduce the cost of a suite of apps that could otherwise break the bank!
