Assessments & Reviews

Google Workspace Best Practices Review

Your organisation has invested in Google Workspace, but are you realising its full potential? Our Best Practices Review is a strategic assessment designed to give you clarity and control over your platform. We provide a deep, independent analysis of your environment, benchmarking it against industry best practices to deliver an actionable roadmap for cost savings, security hardening, and improved user adoption.

We go beyond a simple technical audit to provide a clear, evidence-based plan. Our review ensures your platform is not just running, but is secure, cost-effective, and actively contributing to your business goals.

A holistic assessment of your environment

Our review is structured around the three pillars that matter most to IT leaders. We conduct a comprehensive analysis of:

  • Security & Compliance: We assess your security posture against best practices, evaluating everything from data governance policies and Drive sharing settings to user access controls and device management. Our review identifies security gaps and provides a prioritised list of recommendations to harden your environment.

  • Cost Optimisation & Licence Management: We perform a detailed analysis of your licence allocation and usage to identify significant cost-saving opportunities. We uncover underutilised or incorrectly assigned licences, providing a clear strategy to right-size your investment and eliminate waste.

  • Productivity & Adoption: We evaluate how your teams are actually using the tools beyond Gmail and Drive. By analysing usage patterns for Chat, Meet, and Sites, and gathering stakeholder feedback, we identify where adoption is succeeding and where targeted training could unlock greater productivity and collaboration.

Our structured and data-driven approach

Our review process is methodical and transparent, designed to provide clear insights with minimal disruption to your team.

  • Discovery: We begin by gathering the data, conducting stakeholder interviews, and understanding your key business objectives for the platform.

  • Analysis: Our expert consultants analyse your technical configuration, licence data, and security settings, benchmarking them against our best-practice framework.

  • Recommendations: We deliver a comprehensive report detailing our findings, complete with a prioritised, actionable roadmap for remediation and improvement, including a business case to support your investment decisions.
