Email Services

Email could be considered one of the most important services a business utilises in its day-to-day operations. Email solutions have evolved greatly and now provide a myriad of additional features and functionality at reasonable prices.

In particular, two of the largest providers, Microsoft (Office 365) and Google (G Suite), both include the following value adding components which expands on a basic email service:-

  • Up to 1 TB of online, cloud storage for your files (Microsoft OneDrive | Google Drive) - a great option for ensuring your important files are accessible anywhere
  • Large capacity email mailboxes (30 - 50+ GB) - plenty of storage for the most frequent email user
  • Office productivity software (Office 365 | Google Docs/Sheets/Slides) - can be a very cost effective method of obtaining office software instead of buying outright
  • Voice and video conferencing (Microsoft Skype for Business | Google Hangouts) - integrated business conferencing solutions
  • Access your email and files practically anywhere - a consistent, fully synced copy on all your devices

We have years of experience provisioning, installing, configuring and supporting both Microsoft Office 365 and Google G Suite (formerly Google Apps) solutions for many businesses.

FAQ

What are the main differences between services of the large email providers?

Both Office 365 and Google G Suite offer similar features and functionality, but are deployed slightly differently. Office 365 may have a few advantages in a Microsoft Windows based operating system network due to better integration and more granular control. You can also choose a plan that includes use of the latest Microsoft Office suite on up to 5 computers which can save your business money.

What other email services or providers are out there?

There are quite a few alternative options for email service providers, including that of hosting providers, onsite and hosted Microsoft Exchange and simple POP/IMAP services. Care must be taken when evaluating and deploying a particular email service for your business as choosing the wrong solution may not give you the flexibility, accessibility or features that you require.
