G SUITE Cloud SOLUTIONS
Connect, collaborate, organize, IMPROVE
Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) provides great value for you and your staff with easy access to a flexible suite of collaborative cloud tools including Gmail using @yourcompany emails and logins, Google Calendar, Drive, Chat, Meet, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms, and more.
All these apps work great on mobile, tablet, laptop, or desktop anywhere with internet. Even without internet, offline mode allows anyone to work on files unplugged, automatically syncing changes when connection is reestablished.
The security, permission setting abilities, and user-friendliness is top notch 🤌 and there’s so much more!
High Tide will implement Google Workspace for your whole company, then work with you to get the most from it.

LEARN MORE ABOUT PHASE 2
OPTIMIZE with WELL-KNOWN GOOGLE G SUITE tools
Set up your unique domain (URL) with Gmail and join over 1.5 BILLION active users worldwide (compared to 450 million Outlook users).
Access your corporate email via the Gmail app and enjoy a familiar interface from anywhere that has internet, on any device that has battery life.
Google Drive is the most used cloud-based, file organization and secure sharing platform in the world with over 2 BILLION active users (compared to Dropbox with 700 million users, then OneDrive/SharePoint with 200-250 million)
Google Meet is Google Workspace’s version of Zoom/Teams. It’s a fun and incredibly easy video calling platform equipped with in call tools like screen-sharing that can be drawn over for demonstrations, optimized audio/video modes, and custom backgrounds and reactions for memorable interactions.
A G Suite staple, Google has found the perfect balance of simplicity and functionality with its Google Calendar system.
Easily create events, tasks, or reminders. Recur them in any pattern you prefer, and set reminders as often as you need. It’s really the perfect calendar solution that seamlessly integrates into any other calendar app you might use as well (IE – iPhone Calendar app)
Google Chat features everything needed in a digital chat app:
– You can easily message other Google Chat users outside of your organization.
– Setup named “Spaces” which are group chats for specific topics or teams.
– Reply to specific messages
– Instantly start video calls direct through GChat
– See who’s read your messages
– You can even create custom emojis!! And so much more..
Google Docs is the most user-friendly, collaborative, real-time (and popular!) word processing software on the market.
– Tagged comments make communication easy as a mouse click and are simple to find.
– Live updates become an immersive experience.
– Auto-saving is life-saving.
– And sharing has never been easier.
As great as all the Google Workspace apps are, Google Sheets is certainly our favorite (no offense Docs or Drive!)
High Tide lives and breathes Google Sheets and has pushed the limits of its capabilities to create nearly any kind of tracker, report, data visualization, CRM, or other custom tool imaginable! For a good time, ask us about Google Sheets 🙂
Google Slides is Google Workspace’s version of the trusty PowerPoint, but far more cloud-friendly.
Comparing the two, we’ve found PowerPoint to be rather clunky, while Slides is more modern and easily sharable, with cooler functionality. Slides is almost like Google Docs, but with more presentation features and themed templates.
Google Forms is like Survey Monkey but easier to use and free with your Google Workspace subscription (just like every Google app shown here!)
Requiring no real technical background, nearly anyone with access to Google Forms can create a logical poll, survey, or questionnaire within minutes. Answers are neatly saved and results include auto-generated visuals like pie charts and line graphs. Data is easily sharable and readily available in Google Sheets for further analysis.
Google Workspace Admin Console is a robust toolbox that does everything you’d expect a complete admin console to do – and probably more.
– Add/remove/suspend/promote users, groups, organizational units.
– Set permissions, rules, policies, and all security measures specific to individuals, groups, or organizational units
– Add/remove Google friendly apps
– Monitor company wide activity, storage, data, device usage
– Manage billing
– Connect domains
– And so much more
High Tide is familiar with every nook and cranny within the console and is happy to either train select admins from your company, or handle all the admin console work for you. See below for Google Workspace pricing and continued support options.
Google Sites is an underrated feature of Google Workspace that is an all-in-one website hosting/development/design application to further save costs – especially for start-ups.
High Tide has experience fully constructing custom websites via Google Sites and would love to save you time and money by designing your website here.
