Overview

Google Workspace Done Right

Proper configuration, security settings, data migration, and user training are the difference between a team that thrives and one that struggles with a half-configured system.

FAQ

Common Questions

It depends on your needs. Microsoft 365 is generally better for organisations that need advanced compliance tools, desktop Office applications, or deep integration with Windows infrastructure. Google Workspace suits teams that prioritise simplicity, real-time collaboration, and browser-based workflows. We can help you evaluate both.

A typical migration for a business with 20-50 users takes 2-4 weeks from planning to completion. Larger organisations or complex environments may take longer. We plan meticulously to ensure zero data loss and minimal disruption to your operations.

In most cases, yes. Cloud infrastructure eliminates the capital cost of on-premises servers, reduces energy bills, and shifts maintenance to the provider. However, cloud costs need active management to avoid overspend. We optimise your cloud spend as part of our ongoing management.

Our average response time is 15 minutes for critical issues. All support requests are triaged immediately, with most problems resolved remotely the same day. For on-site requirements, we typically attend within 4 hours across Glasgow, Renfrewshire, and Inverclyde.

We offer both. Our managed IT plans run on flexible monthly agreements with no long lock-in periods. We also provide ad-hoc support for businesses that prefer pay-as-you-go. Most clients find the managed plans more cost-effective in the long run.

We provide on-site and remote support across Glasgow, Renfrewshire, East Renfrewshire, Inverclyde, Paisley, and Greenock. Remote support is available UK-wide.
