Google Cloud Results

  • Google Workspace deployment of 8 users to a single user platform of 10.
  • Mid-migration the deployment technician needed to be replaced which is made easy by the Google Cloud platforms.
  • The deployment also required that Gmail had to be integrated with a third-party tool called ‘Streek’ of which the license could not be moved.
  • Workaround included replicating a new license, deprecating the old one and moving data from the old to the new license. In addition, another third party tool ContactOn from Opennetworks was also integrated and deployed.
