A reliable infrastructure is the foundation for SMBs and SMEs, allowing them to provide services to customers and improve the daily workflow of their employees. In most cases, IT-staff have to deploy in-house servers and services to have such services, including email and collaboration tools like a messaging platform, file sharing, or company calendar. To squash server and software license expenses, Google provides a GSuite, an all-in-one service for such services.
GSuite provides centralized control of all corporate services in organization from IAM to Cloud file storage. Every employee can access their corporate email, calendar, chat, and file storage from anywhere at any time from any device.
At Zazmic, our team has extensive experience in provisioning and migrating existing infrastructure services to GSuite. From the beginning, our team analyzes all needs of the client and organization to develop a quick, effective way to establish a comprehensive infrastructure. In the end, our Client receives scalable, reliable services that are easy to use and support.
Working with Zazmic alleviates the stress and confusion of having to set up the infrastructure yourself. It also guarantees that you will have an IT-support team, there to come to the rescue whenever you may need. You can find out more about GSuite and our services over on our website.
