One accountable team
The same engineers handle licensing, security, and support, whichever platform you use.
Business email and productivity
Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace? We run both.
ECS licenses, secures, and supports both platforms, so our advice depends on how your business works. If you are happy where you are, we will say so.
What usually decides it
Both are strong platforms. The better choice comes down to how your people work.
| Factor | Often points to Microsoft 365 | Often points to Google Workspace |
|---|---|---|
| Everyday documents | Complex Excel models and desktop Office files | Shared documents edited together in the browser |
| Meetings and chat | Teams at the center of daily work | Meet and Chat alongside Gmail and Calendar |
| Devices | Windows-first fleets managed centrally | Chromebooks, Macs, and browser-first teams |
| Business software | Applications built around Outlook or Office | Web applications that connect through Google sign-in |
| Your team today | Staff who already work in Outlook and Office | Staff who already work in Gmail and Drive |
What stays the same either way

Common questions
- Which platform does ECS recommend?
- The one that fits how your business works. We support both, so we start with your staff, your software, and your security needs. If what you have is working, we will tell you to keep it.
- Can you move us from one platform to the other?
- Yes, in either direction. Mail, calendars, contacts, and files all move, and shared mailboxes and delegation are rebuilt. We sequence the cutover so your staff are not left stranded on a Monday morning.
- Can we run both?
- Yes, and plenty of businesses end up there, often after an acquisition. It needs deliberate decisions about sign-in and file sharing, and we can manage both under one team.
- Does your pricing change depending on the platform?
- Our managed plans cover either platform, and clients on a plan pay the published license price with no markup. We share pricing after a first conversation.
