If your company feels like it's juggling too many disconnected tools or struggling to meet growing compliance demands, you're not alone. In 2025, hundreds of businesses across Central Texas are switching from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 to future-proof operations, tighten security, and support growth.
The Stakes of Staying with Google
Google Workspace works well for small, informal teams. But for industries like legal, healthcare, finance, and construction, where secure file sharing, email protection, and regulatory compliance are critical, Google often falls short.
What starts as convenience can quickly turn into:
- Security vulnerabilities
- Compliance gaps (HIPAA, GDPR)
- Disconnected communication tools
- Higher costs from third-party add-ons
