What is G Suite and Office 365 and Why Do You Need Them?

After you make a website, the next step is usually to get a professional business email address.

Unlike your @gmail.com or @outlook.com email, a professional business email address is branded with your company name: name@yourbusiness.com

While most WordPress hosting companies offer a free business email address, they can’t compete with the powerful business tools that G Suite and Office 365 offer including but not limited to more reliable emails, file storage, calendar, notes, video conferencing tools, etc.

Google’s G Suite includes Gmail, Google Drive, Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Calendar, Keep, Hangouts, and other Google apps that you probably already use and love.

Microsoft’s Office 365 includes Outlook, OneDrive, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, One Note, Skype, and other Microsoft apps.

Using cloud productivity suites allows you to save money on maintaining software licenses, installations, running an IT department, and more. All your data is stored in the cloud which makes it easier to access files from anywhere using any device. This is great if you are running a remote company or travelling while managing your WordPress blog.
