About

One of the two dominant cloud productivity suites globally, competing closely with Microsoft 365 and holding a leading position in education and cloud-native organizations

Google Workspace (formerly G Suite, and before that Google Apps) is Google's integrated suite of cloud-based productivity, collaboration, and communication tools designed for businesses, educational institutions, and organizations worldwide. The platform includes Gmail, Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Meet, Chat, Calendar, and a range of other tools, all tightly integrated and accessible from any device with an internet connection. Launched in its earliest form in 2006 as Google Apps for Your Domain, it has evolved into one of the most widely adopted enterprise productivity platforms globally, competing directly with Microsoft 365.
