Google Workspace & Related Topics
If you’re considering a move from freemail or another business productivity platform to Google Workspace, the articles on this site may help you with your decision.
We adopted Google Workspace in 2008, when it was known as Google Apps Premier Edition. Over the years, we got more work done because we didn’t need to worry about maintaining desktop software or securing servers.

In the age of AI, Google has assumed a leadership position with Gemini, which is interwoven throughout Google Workspace. Gemini is also available to Workspace users at https://gemini.google.com.
