In the past, a free Gmail account looked unprofessional to use as a business, but today Gmail can be used as a professional email provider.
Gmail for professional use
When you use Gmail for business, you obviously don’t want ads that distract from work. The business Gmail environment contains no ads. In addition, with a business Gmail license, you make a trustworthy impression on customers by giving everyone in your company a business email address with your own company domain, such as firstname.lastname@yourcompany. You can add an unlimited number of addresses to group mailing lists, such as reception@yourcompany.
Switching to Gmail?
Gmail works well with desktop clients such as Microsoft Outlook, Apple Mail and Mozilla Thunderbird. Outlook users can sync emails, appointments and contacts to Google Workspace and vice versa. Email in Outlook, Exchange or Lotus is easy to migrate with custom tools that allow you to preserve important messages. If you want to learn more about migrating to Google Workspace, check out Migrating your organization’s data to Google Workspace. G-workplace has a wealth of experience in helping clients with such migrations.

Google Workspace offers several features that contribute to efficient collaboration with colleagues. Keep in touch with colleagues via Google Meet or Google Chat, send an invitation in Calendar, add an action to your task list or work on projects with shared files. All this is possible without leaving Gmail. Plus, you can link useful third-party apps in the Google Workspace add-ons side window.

Google prevents an employee from opening the wrong attachment or clicking a link in an unguarded moment, which can load a virus onto the employee’s computer resulting in ransomware attacks.
