Cloud-based Email, Calendars, Contacts, Cloud Storage & More
As a team, we use and recommend G Suite. This powerful, cost-effective suite of tools (formerly known as Google Apps for Business) combines corporate/branded email, individual and group calendars, contact management and cloud storage.
This is the professional version of Gmail, Google Docs, Google Sheets, Google Drive, and a number of other associated “Apps” for productivity, communications and other critical business functions.
