Embracing the Essentials

As the fight against Covid-19 is still ongoing, so is the discussion of work from home initiatives. No doubt adopting new norms may come as a struggle to businesses worldwide – no office, no colleagues, just you and your laptop. With everything done online, the use of platforms to help businesses connect and collaborate on a deeper level is much appreciated.

Despite many pre-existing platforms as such, making the big leap to integrate from one platform to another, may be especially difficult for some, especially small business owners. If you somewhat resonate with that narrative, well you’re in luck! Google, well-known for their G Suite platform, has rolled out free access until September 2020 to G Suite Essentials – designed to help businesses seamlessly integrate to their platform.

Make the jump to G Suite Essentials if you:

1.Already have pre-existing work emails for you and your team

One striking feature of G Suite Essentials is that you don’t need to get a gmail account to get in all of the action. Just enter your existing work email address and get started! See? No hassle in transferring all those emails to a new platform.

2. Have a small to medium sized business

If your team isn’t too big in size, this may be the platform for you. Big organizations may opt for G Suite Enterprise as it is designed to accommodate a bigger capacity. Keep things simple by subscribing a few G Suite Essentials accounts for your colleagues who may utilise it most

3. Want all the right tools to help your team collaborate better

No business should be left behind when it comes to working from home efficiently, but overcomplicated platforms with too much tech mambo jumbo may seem intimidating to those not so tech savvy. As the name suggests, G Suite Essentials only provides you with the most necessary tools you need to step up your WFH game, which we’ll be discussing in a second.
