--

With 5,000,000 + business partners using G Suite, Google has worked continuously to transform the businesses to work faster, smarter and more collaborative every day.

Companies have always found the need for transforming their work culture to stay ahead of their competitors. In the last few years, the use of cloud technologies by companies has increased significantly. They have been using cloud technologies to collaborate and stay productive. To help them in their need, Google provides a set of intelligent and collaborative tools including Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drive, and Hangouts, which collectively come under “G Suite”.

What is G Suite?

Google has always worked to keep the businesses running smoothly by providing smart solutions for them. G Suite is not a single product by Google but a set of intelligent and collaborative tools that Google has developed for the use of its customers. Formerly known as Google Apps for Work, G Suite offers a set of powerful tools that can help you scale your small business. It builds upon user familiarity with Google’s products and services to offer businesses more efficient workplace solutions. G Suite can help you manage your business more effectively, enhance your workflow and improve the communication between your employees.

The apps under G Suite are Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drive, and Hangouts. All you need to do your best work, together in one package that works seamlessly from your computer, phone or tablet.

How G Suite can benefit your business?

Now, most of you might be thinking that how a set of tools by Google can benefit your business. Here are some reasons why using G Suite is a good choice for your business:

Cost-effective solutions

G Suite offers 3 different plans for its services and is extremely affordable. Although, Gmail, Calendar, Drive all are free to use for individual users but free ones are not available for business purposes.

G Suite pricing starts as low as ₹210 per user per month for Basic, ₹714 per user per month for Business, and ₹1650 per user per month for Enterprise.

You can find more details on the pricing plans head to the Pricing page of G Suite.

For businesses on a budget, G Suite cannot be beaten for a comprehensive workplace organization. Even more, conversion from an office server to G Suite eliminates costly work orders and interruptions. And you also won’t need a tech team or a consultant to fix issues.

Team Collaboration at its best

G Suite provides some best features to support remote team collaboration and information sharing. Intelligent apps like Sheets and Docs allow team members to work together on the same document at the same time. You can see the edits you make in real-time and G Suite automatically saves them in the cloud.

If you are the owner of a document or the admin like a manager then you have the control as to who can edit the document and who can only view it. As your employees work on the documents, they can use the built-in chat feature to brainstorm ideas and communicate.

These smart features allow the team members to complete projects at a faster rate and more accurately. It also eliminates the need to send numerous emails with the latest versions of documents.

Familiar, Compatible, and Easy to Use

One of the greatest benefits of going with G Suite for your business is that most of your employees are probably already used to using products like Gmail for email and Google Docs. This makes the transition super easy and ensures you don’t have to waste time explaining to new hires how to utilize company tools; unlike Zoho or Office 365 where there might be more explanation needed.

G Suite also has the best compatibility on mobile devices compared to any other email provider.

And if you already have a personal Gmail account, Google makes it super easy to one-click switch between accounts (personal Gmails and G Suite accounts).

Switching accounts in Gmail is a piece of cake.

Reliability

When it comes to reliability and uptime, Google is one of the best options. If we deeper into the technical details, G Suite offers a 99.9% Service Level Agreement (SLA) for covered services. Google believes in maintaining the minimum downtime therefor G Suite has no scheduled downtime or maintenance windows. All of their data centers are built with redundant infrastructure for fault tolerance.

Streamlined Communication

If you use Gmail, then you already know the benefits of this Webmail service. However, with G Suite, you can get some additional features.

One of the most appealing perks is the ability to get a custom email with your domain name, in the format: name@company.com. This will make your business communication appear more professional in the eyes of your customers. You also get 30 GB of storage, which is twice as much as in the free version.

G Suite also offers the well-known video conferencing app Google Hangouts. With Hangouts, you can easily communicate with your employees and clients. Via live webcam video, Hangouts brings the team together for important meetings and brainstorming sessions, no matter where they are located.

You can allow up to 25 people to join the call and they can connect from any device and even use it right from Gmail.

Data Security

G Suite is built on the Google Cloud Platform, which offers the highest security on the market. It’s trusted by some of the biggest companies in the world; such as HP, Verizon, Whirlpool, and Salesforce. As Google says, they are leading with a “security-first mindset.” They have industry-leading knowledge and expertise backing every one of their products, including G Suite.

G Suite provides email encryption in transit as well as the ability to retain, archive, search and export the data.

G Suite admin can control how the data is protected, view reports and even control remote devices. G Suite administrators can also disallow employees from having the ability to enable “less secure apps.”
