Google Workspace

Admin, identity, and collaboration operations for Google Workspace so Gmail, Drive, Meet, and devices stay reliable for staff without living in one admin’s bookmarks.

What we operate in Workspace

Practical ownership of the Google Workspace environment your people already live in, with policies that match real workflows.

Admin console hygiene: users, groups, OUs, and role-based admin access
Identity and MFA for staff accounts, with clean onboarding and offboarding
Gmail routing, groups, and spam/phishing baselines
Drive sharing defaults, Shared drives, and retention choices leadership can explain
Meet, Chat, and Calendar settings that reduce friction without opening the wrong doors

Devices, Chrome, and security posture

Endpoint and browser controls that protect accounts and files without making classrooms or offices unusable.

Chrome and device policy when Chromebooks or managed browsers are in scope
Security baselines for external sharing, 2-Step Verification, and privileged admins
Backup and export decisions for mail and Drive that match your risk tolerance
Vendor coordination with Google and add-on tools when issues sit outside your tenant

Where Google Workspace hands off

Collaboration estate work often pairs with broader IT operations, deeper security, migrations, and fractional leadership when the ask expands.

Same idea as the rest of your IT stack: documented settings, a named person who owns changes, and fewer surprises when Google ships an admin console update at midnight.

Project cadence

Honest, orderly project management keeps work on track. Milestones and owners get set before the work ramps up. Status reaches stakeholders before decisions pile up, and a scope change gets a conversation instead of a surprise invoice. Ongoing Google Workspace work follows the Managed IT retainer rhythm: named escalation and documented changes. Migrations and domain cuts are scoped as projects under IT Consulting.

Plan
Milestones and owners agreed before the work starts moving.
Status
Regular updates — you should not have to chase us for a status report.
Decisions
Trade-offs get surfaced early so leadership can make the call, not discover it after.

Questions we hear first

Is this separate from Managed IT?

Google Workspace is often the collaboration core inside a Managed IT engagement: identity, mail, devices, and admin hygiene under the same operating team. Engage here when Workspace is the clear focus. If you also need network, backup, and a full help desk, Managed IT is usually the fuller engagement.

Do you migrate us to Google Workspace, or only run what we already have?

Both. Steady-state admin and support sit here and under Managed IT. Domain migrations, consolidations, and post-incident rebuilds are scoped as projects under IT Consulting with a start, finish, and handoff plan.

How do you handle security and education records in Workspace?

We harden 2-Step Verification, admin roles, sharing defaults, and mail protections as part of Workspace ops. Deeper 24/7 monitoring and incident response live under Cybersecurity & MSSP. For schools and education orgs, we use FERPA-aware handling for education records. Healthcare clients who also touch PHI can discuss HIPAA-compliant operations in scoping.

We also use Microsoft 365. Can you support both?

Yes. Some organizations run both during a transition or for different teams. See Microsoft 365 for that estate. Fit depends on what you already run and what staff can sustain, not on forcing a single-vendor swap.

How is pricing usually structured?

Ongoing Workspace operations typically sit inside a Managed IT retainer. Standalone projects (migrations, domain cuts, security rebuilds) are scoped separately. Start with Become a Client or call (513) 657-1800.
