Google Workspace for Business
Plan selection, Gmail domain setup, email migration, Drive/Meet deployment and user support help businesses adopt Google Workspace with a controlled rollout and clear operating ownership.
Gmail · Drive · Meet · Admin · Security
Built for stable day-to-day IT operations
Four practical advantages that make services and solutions easier to operate, own and sustain.
Google Workspace is more than Gmail on a business domain
A successful rollout starts with the domain, DNS, user count, existing mailbox data, storage requirements and collaboration model. Selecting the right edition and standardizing identities helps control cost and reduce migration issues.
SMNET supports assessment, tenant preparation, DNS, email migration, user onboarding and administration handover. For critical data, retention and independent backup should also be reviewed against actual recovery requirements.

Frequently asked questions
These answers are general guidance. SMNET will assess environments with specific requirements before final scope.
Request consultationCan SMNET migrate POP/IMAP email to Google Workspace?
Yes. Mailbox size, local data and the source platform should be reviewed before choosing the migration method.
Can Microsoft 365 be migrated to Google Workspace?
Yes, subject to assessment of mail, calendar, contacts and the Drive/OneDrive/SharePoint data that is in scope.
Can Google Workspace use the company domain?
Yes. The business domain is verified and DNS is configured so Gmail sends and receives using the company domain.
Can users continue using Outlook?
It is possible in some operating models. SMNET will review the mail client, operating system and workflow before recommending the right configuration; Gmail web/mobile remains the native experience.
Does Google Workspace need separate backup?
It depends on retention and recovery requirements. Critical data may justify an independent backup layer rather than relying only on service retention features.
