Managed Google Workspace Support
Brisbane & Gold Coast
Google Workspace set up properly, secured and looked after: migration, 2-step verification, Drive sharing controls, device management, Gemini and everyday support. We’re a Google Cloud Partner with an Australian-based team.
- Google Cloud Partner
- 2-step verification enforced
- Admin console managed
Company files owned by the business, not by whoever happened to create them.
When Google Workspace is the right choice
For plenty of small businesses it’s the better fit. We manage Microsoft 365 every day too, so if Workspace isn’t right for you, we’ll say so.
- Your team works mostly in the browser
- People edit the same documents at once
- You want simple day-to-day admin
- Staff use Chromebooks, Macs or Android
- You share lots of files with clients
- You are an eligible not-for-profit
Better suited to Microsoft 365?
If your team lives in desktop Excel or your industry software expects Outlook, we will recommend Microsoft 365 instead.
Still deciding?
Our migrations page compares the two platforms and explains how we move you across. The first consultation is free.
Managed Google Workspace, end to end
Everything it takes to run Google Workspace well, without becoming a Google admin yourself.
Admin console
Domain verification, users, groups and organisational units, with policies set by team.
Security hardening
2-step verification, Gmail phishing protection, SPF, DKIM, DMARC and sign-in alerts.
Drive and Shared Drives
A folder structure that makes sense, the right access levels and controlled sharing.
Endpoint management
Screen lock and encryption on phones and laptops, and remote wipe when one goes missing.
Gemini rollout
Gemini turned on for the right people after sharing is tidied, with a policy and training.
Licences and editions
Workspace licences through us as a Google Cloud Partner, on the edition that fits.
Independent backup
Gmail, Drive, Shared Drives, Calendar and Contacts backed up and test-restored.
Everyday help
Gmail delivery, Drive sync, calendar and Meet problems fixed by our Australian-based helpdesk.
Find out what your Workspace is sharing
Book a free consultation. We’ll check your 2-step verification, sharing settings, admin accounts and licences, then tell you plainly what needs fixing.
Google Workspace security we set up as standard
Google’s built-in security is strong, but much of it sits behind admin console settings most owners never open.
2-step verification enforced
On every account, admin accounts included, with no opt-out.
Phishing and malware protection
Gmail’s advanced protections on, with suspicious messages quarantined.
SPF, DKIM and DMARC
Set up and monitored, so your domain is much harder to spoof.
Drive sharing controls
External sharing limited or flagged with a warning, and new links kept inside the business by default.
Sign-in alerts and monitoring
Google’s login challenges and alerts, plus our round-the-clock sign-in monitoring.
Protected admin accounts
Separate admin accounts, with super admin access kept to the few people who need it.
Endpoint management
Devices that reach Workspace data follow your rules. Control depends on your edition.
Third-party app controls
Only apps you trust can connect to Gmail, Drive and Calendar.
These settings line up with the Essential Eight, SMB1001 and what most cyber insurers ask about.
Keep company files with the company
The most common Google Workspace mess we see is company files living in people’s My Drive. My Drive belongs to the user. Delete their account and the files go with it, and nobody notices until a client asks for something.
Shared Drives belong to the business. We set them up by team, client or project, give each person the right role (Manager, Content manager, Contributor, Commenter or Viewer) and move important files out of personal drives.
- Block sign-in and sign them out everywhere
- Transfer their Drive files and calendar to a manager
- Forward or delegate their email if needed
- Remove company data from their phone
- Free up the licence once the data is safe
Google Workspace migration, in either direction
We move you to Google Workspace from Microsoft 365, hosted or on-premises Exchange, POP and IMAP email with providers like Telstra, iiNet and TPG, or another Workspace account after a merger. And back to Microsoft 365 if that fits better.
Assess and plan
We review mailboxes, files, calendars and DNS, agree what moves and give you a written plan and timeline.
Pre-stage the data
Email, files and calendars copy across while your team keeps working. Email addresses stay the same.
Switch over
Typically over a weekend: mail delivery switched, final changes moved and Gmail set up on devices.
Settle in
Extra support in the first days, with security, sharing and backup set up from the start.
Gemini, switched on with the right guardrails
Gemini is built into Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Slides and Meet on Google Workspace business plans. It drafts replies, summarises long threads and documents, helps with formulas and writes up meeting notes.
It also sees what the user can see. If a spreadsheet of client details is shared with the whole company, Gemini can find it for anyone who asks. So we tidy sharing first, turn Gemini on team by team from the admin console, and give staff clear rules and practical training.

Google Workspace: common questions
Should we use Google Workspace or Microsoft 365?
It depends on how your team works. Google Workspace is simpler and strong for browser-based work and real-time collaboration. Microsoft 365 suits businesses that rely on desktop Excel and Outlook. We manage both every day, so we recommend whichever genuinely fits.
Can you migrate us from Microsoft 365 to Google Workspace?
Yes, and the other way too. We move email history, calendars, contacts and files, handle the DNS changes and set up security on the new platform before your team signs in. The cutover typically happens over a weekend.
Does Google back up our Google Workspace data?
Not the way most businesses expect. Once deleted data passes the recovery window, or an account is removed, it may be gone for good. We add independent backup of Gmail, Drive, Shared Drives, Calendar and Contacts, and test restores.
What's the difference between My Drive and Shared Drives?
My Drive belongs to one user, so files can disappear when that account is deleted. Shared Drives belong to the organisation, so files stay no matter who created them or who leaves. Use Shared Drives for team and client work.
Which Google Workspace plan do we need?
It depends on your needs. Starter and Standard differ in storage, meeting and collaboration features. Business Plus adds Google Vault for retention and eDiscovery, and more advanced device management. We check what you actually need before you buy, then supply the licences.
Can not-for-profits get Google Workspace for free?
Eligible Australian charities and not-for-profits can get Google Workspace for Nonprofits at no cost. We check eligibility, help with the application and verification, then set it up and manage it for you. See IT for not-for-profits.
