Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace: how to choose in 2026
Both suites do the same job. The right choice depends on your usage, your business tools and your collaboration culture. A decision guide.
Industry
Startups & scale-ups
Solid IT from day one, scaling at the pace of your hiring.
At a startup, IT tends to be built in a rush: accounts created on the fly, shared passwords, personal laptops, SaaS tools added whenever someone needs one. That works while the team is small. Then come the new hires, the first large customers asking security questions, and the fundraising rounds with their due diligence.
We lay down simple foundations that scale: one identity per employee, email and files in the cloud, secured laptops managed remotely, and a clean office network. You stay in control of your product tools, we handle the rest, with 24/7 monitoring and a single contact who knows your environment.
The challenges in your industry
01
Smooth onboarding and offboarding
Every new hire needs a laptop, access and tools on day one. Every departure requires access to be revoked without missing anything.
02
Security demanded by customers
Enterprise customers and investors send security questionnaires. Without MFA, backups or a clear policy, answering them becomes a struggle.
03
SaaS sprawl
Duplicate subscriptions, personal accounts, scattered data: without governance, costs creep up and company files slip out of the company’s control.
04
No time to run IT
The CTO or a founder ends up acting as sysadmin, at the expense of the product. Hiring a full-time IT person is rarely justified early on.

Frequently asked questions
At what size should a startup outsource its IT?
As soon as someone on the team regularly spends time managing accounts, laptops and access instead of their actual job. Laying clean foundations early saves you from rebuilding everything after several hiring waves.
Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace for a startup?
Both work. The choice depends on how you work (advanced Excel, Teams, tools already in place) and what your customers expect. We help you decide, then configure security, sharing and device management whichever you choose.
How do we answer our customers’ security questionnaires?
We put in place the controls they ask about most: MFA, EDR, backups, device management and offboarding. We then help you document these controls so your answers are precise and verifiable.
Can the managed IT contract grow with our hiring?
Yes. The scope follows your headcount and needs: new laptops, new offices, new teams. The initial audit is free and we reply within 24 business hours to scope the start.
