Maximize Productivity and Collaboration with Google Workspace

Google Workspace offers a tightly integrated collaboration platform — but realizing its full value requires license right-sizing, security hardening, governance design, and the change management that drives adoption of tools that displace entrenched Microsoft habits.

Overview

What RLM Delivers

Google Workspace migrations and optimizations require expertise that goes beyond the defaults. RLM advises on Workspace deployment strategy, Google Vault and Workspace security configuration, AI feature enablement, and the license structure that fits your organization.

Advisory Approach

How We Work

A structured advisory process — from discovery and market evaluation to negotiation and post-deployment optimization — tailored to your specific environment and objectives.

1

Workspace Utilization & License Assessment

We analyze usage across your Workspace tenant — Gmail, Drive, Meet, Docs, Sheets, Chat, AppSheet, Gemini — identifying underutilized capabilities, license tier optimization opportunities, and adoption gaps.

Security & Data Protection Configuration

Google Workspace security — Vault, DLP, Context-Aware Access, Endpoint Management, and Admin Console controls — requires deliberate configuration to protect enterprise data. We assess and optimize your security posture.

Google AI & Gemini Enablement

Google's AI capabilities — Gemini in Workspace, NotebookLM, Duet AI for Meet and Docs — represent significant productivity potential. We advise on enablement strategy, data governance requirements, and the rollout approach.

M365 Coexistence & Migration Planning

Most enterprises have legacy Microsoft assets (SharePoint, Exchange PSTs, Office files). We design the coexistence strategy and migration approach that maintains productivity during the transition.

Evaluation Criteria

What to Look For

These are the dimensions that consistently separate successful deployments from costly ones — and the questions RLM will help you answer before any commitment.

01

License Tier Optimization

Business Starter vs. Business Standard vs. Enterprise Starter vs. Enterprise Plus have significant capability and price differences. Evaluate storage requirements and advanced security needs by user population before committing to a single tier.

02

Data Residency & Sovereignty

Google Workspace Data Regions controls where customer data at rest is stored. Evaluate data residency requirements and the configuration needed for compliance with data sovereignty regulations.

03

Vault & eDiscovery

Google Vault provides email and chat archiving and eDiscovery for regulated industries. Evaluate Vault configuration, retention policies, and litigation hold procedures for your compliance requirements.

04

Context-Aware Access

Context-Aware Access allows access policies based on device trust, location, and identity context. Evaluate configuration against your BYOD policy and zero-trust security requirements.

05

AppSheet & Apps Script Governance

Low-code tools in Workspace (AppSheet, Apps Script) create shadow IT without governance. Evaluate the policy framework for managing citizen developer activity.

06

Migration Tooling & Timeline

PST migration, SharePoint-to-Drive migration, and calendar migration have specific tooling requirements and data fidelity limitations. Evaluate migration tooling quality and timeline realism before committing.

"RLM helped us rationalize our multi-cloud spend and identify over $1.2M in annual savings. Their approach was methodical and unbiased — exactly what we needed."

"Our migration was stalled for months. RLM came in, assessed the gaps, and helped us select a managed services partner that got us across the finish line in 60 days."
