Free email on Google? This is the end. But don't worry, we have an alternative!
This year, 2022, Google will stop providing the well-known G-Suite Legacy package (now called Google Workspace), which allows free use of Google applications, including Gmail for business. From May 1, 2022, the migration of user accounts to Google Workspace will start, and from July 1, 2022, fees will be charged for using the services, so it is important to learn about alternatives to G-Suite and the possibilities that allow your company to use the best solutions, of course at a good price.
The end of free G-mail for businesses
Until the end of April 2022, entrepreneurs could use the G Suite option in their businesses, enabling primarily free use of e-mail. We are talking about a package thanks to which companies can use solutions such as Google drives or Gmail, available for individual users. Unlike individual users, companies can benefit from the use of addresses embedded in their domain.
As a result of Google's actions, it is necessary to migrate free accounts in the GSuite service to the paid version - Google Workspace. The cost of monthly maintenance of a Google Workspace account starts at PLN 23 net per month and increases depending on the selected service package.
By July 1, 2022, you must enter the necessary billing information into the application - failure to enter the data will result in account suspension.
An interesting alternative to Google Workspace? – Microsoft 365!
The introduction of the changes described above by Google means that companies using free solutions are forced to use paid packages. This change is the right time to learn about other solutions that provide you and your company with many benefits.
The most frequently chosen alternative to Google Workspace by companies are the tools offered by Microsoft as part of the Microsoft 365 package.
Microsoft offers several solutions tailored to various types of businesses. The subscription most often chosen by entrepreneurs is Microsoft 365 Business Standard, which provides the user not only with access to secure e-mail, but also other benefits that improve the operation of your business, including well-known Office applications such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, but also Sharepoint services - a cloud drive for company files, or Teams - a multifunctional messenger.
Microsoft Packaged Mail includes:
- Professional email with your own company domain (or even multiple ones);
- security (Microsoft email is one of the safest emails available on the market);
- email integration with Outlook Calendar;
- 50 GB for email and 1000 GB for user files,
By choosing the Microsoft 365 package for business, you receive security that cannot be guaranteed by other free email accounts that can be offered on popular portals. Moreover, mail sent from Microsoft servers does not fall into spam.
Thanks to Microsoft, you can also obtain a number of tools that improve the operation of your company.
As an experienced Microsoft partner, we will be happy to answer additional questions and advise you on the best package option for your business.
