Google Workspace and Google Cloud.
Assign tasks clearly.
Collaborate using Gmail, files and meetings, or run an application on Google Cloud: DAXS plans the appropriate use, migration and technical support.
The required function determines the service.
Google Workspace brings together Gmail, Drive, Calendar, Meet and tools for shared documents, among other services. A business can use it to organise email and collaboration. DAXS checks how existing data, sharing, devices and workflows fit the intended use.
Google Cloud provides infrastructure and platform services for applications and other technical tasks. Running your own application there differs from using shared documents in Workspace. Resources, identities, data flows and costs are planned for the specific project.
Where Google services can support your workflow.
Email and calendars
Migrate mailboxes, domain connections and calendars in a controlled way. Agree responsibilities and the transition with the people affected.
Files and collaboration
Structure file storage, roles and external sharing. Test collaboration using a real document and meeting workflow.
Applications and data flows
Connect a suitable Google Cloud platform to business software, databases or existing interfaces.
How an application uses its data.
Migrate, test and introduce people to the new workflow.
A change starts with existing data and how it is organised. DAXS records mailboxes, calendars, files, shares and connected applications. Data migration, testing and the transition are agreed before the move.
After setup, sign-in, access and typical workflows are tested in practice. Staff receive the information they need for the new workflow. Existing applications remain in use where they fit technically and organisationally; necessary interfaces are assessed specifically.
Keep permissions, costs and data return in view.
The selected plan and cloud services determine the available functions and operating effort. DAXS can handle user administration, configuration, integration and technical maintenance within the agreed scope. Your organisation decides on business requirements, approvals and content.
Retention, backup and export are assessed against the actual data and services. A later move must account for file formats, permissions, identities and connected applications. Provider features and additional recovery or exit options are deliberately weighed against each other.
Coordinate Google Workspace and a cloud application.
A business wants to organise collaboration with Google Workspace and deploy its own application on Google Cloud. Both projects need suitable identities, data flows and responsibilities. DAXS assesses appropriate services and connects them to existing applications where needed.
Separate collaboration from the application
Mailboxes, calendars, files and sharing are planned for Workspace. For a custom application, its runtime, database, access and operations are considered separately. A platform service can take on certain operating tasks; the remaining responsibilities are checked for the selected service.
Start with a limited pilot
A suitable group of users tests sign-in, files, external collaboration and the required application. Configuration and data migration are checked before more people move over. Costs, backup, export and a later switch are considered during selection.
View planning and acceptance checks
- Record the existing organisation, users, domains and data.
- Agree organisational arrangements for sharing and external collaboration.
- Check identities and required permissions for each service.
- Determine the application runtime, database and operating tasks.
- Plan a pilot with data migration and typical workflows.
- Acceptance: check usability, cost visibility, backup and export.
An example assessment framework. Scope and suitable evidence are agreed for your environment.
