Google Workspace User Guide

Chapter 1: Introducing Google Workspace

When running any business, whether it's a small start-up or a large enterprise with hundreds of thousands of employees, communication tools can allow effective collaboration and ensure the success of the company. Because the recent COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the transition from in-person to remote work, there is more need than ever for a highly available, secure, and agile productivity suite. This new work environment has created a demand for an ecosystem of tools that team members can leverage to streamline their communication and collaboration. This book is about one of the most popular web-based productivity suites available today: Google Workspace.

Google Workspace is a collection of software as a service (SaaS)-based productivity and collaboration tools developed and marketed by Google.

In this chapter, we will give a brief overview of Google Workspace and how it came into being. This chapter will also introduce you to core services that exist in the Google Workspace portfolio. We will also learn about different Google Workspace editions and the differences between their offerings.

We will cover the following main topics:

  • The evolution of Google Workspace
  • Google Workspace editions
  • Google Workspace licensing models
  • Domain host versus Google Workspace

Description

Google Workspace has evolved from individual Google services to a suite of apps that improve productivity and promote efficient collaboration in an enterprise organization. This book takes you through the evolution of Google Workspace, features included in each Workspace edition, and various core services, such as Cloud Identity, Gmail, and Calendar. You’ll explore the functionality of each configuration, which will help you make informed decisions for your organization. Later chapters will show you how to implement security configurations that are available at different layers of Workspace and also how Workspace meets essential enterprise compliance needs. You’ll gain a high-level overview of the core services available in Google Workspace, including Google Apps Script, AppSheet, and Google Cloud Platform. Finally, you’ll explore the different tools Google offers when you’re adopting Google Cloud and migrating your data from legacy mail servers or on-premises applications over to cloud servers. By the end of this Google Workspace book, you’ll be able to successfully deploy Google Workspace, configure users, and migrate data, thereby helping with cloud adoption.

This book is really easy to read and understand. This is catered to all the IT administrators. Whether you are experienced or not. This book helped my team & I a lot as we were new to Google Workspace. As an exchange Admin I was able to understand and relate to the concepts quickly.The crux of the Google workspace is in the Identity roles and user management. This book does a very good job of explaining it.

I have been in the Google Workspace reseller ecosystem for 8 years and have worked for most of the Google Workspace resellers doing everything from Change Management, Project Management, and Sales.This book is a wonder, there are not many books on Google Workspace in general and even fewer on Google Workspace Administration.Even Google doesn't train on Google Workspace Administration so this book is incredibly timely.This book covers all the relevant topics: Setting up and Administering Google Workspace, Google Classroom, App Script, and Data Migration. Also don't forget Data Loss Prevention and Security.I get daily calls for Google Workspace Engineers which means people who have experience with Google Workspace Administration, with this book any one of us could start a career as a Google Workspace Engineer.So thorough, I'm glad I got a chance to read it.
