In Short
A free high-level security assessment of the Google Workspace domain
Upgrade from Google Workspace Business to Enterprise
A partnership with a Google Cloud Premier Partner to get the most out of their Google Workspace investment
I’m happy to say that a year down the line with Devoteam G Cloud, we are feeling exactly the same about commitment and service as in the beginning. In retrospect, it was definitely the right choice. A real level-up for us.

The Problem
Bynder had no solution to evaluate their current Google Workspace environment without going through a long assessment procedure with more than 400 questions.
Another obstacle was that Bynder had no professional Google partner with the necessary expertise to turn to when they had questions about Google Workspace. Working with a Premier Partner would help them to get the most out of their Google Workspace edition & to create long-term, sustainable business success.
The Goal
The goal for Bynder was to find a Google Cloud Premier Partner to get the most out of their investment as they move forward with digital transformation. They want fast answers to their questions, a personalised service, and good customer care. Bynder wants to keep providing a great ongoing user experience for their employees.
When we send a mail to Google, we know that we will have a reply the day after. When we send an email to Devoteam G Cloud, within 10 minutes we have a reply. Even late in the evening, we get fast responses to our questions.
Another goal was to move from Google Workspacee Business to Google Workspace Enterprise. Bynder was looking for some very specific tools and security features that are only available in the Enterprise edition. The goal here was to migrate to Enterprise to have a better control of their work environment which would allow the company to achieve results more efficiently.
The Solution
Devoteam G Cloud offered a high-level Google Workspace assessment for free. They looked at how Bynder could optimise, prepare, and monitor the security of their Google Workspace domain to reduce security risk as well as mitigate threats. This assessment pointed out that some selected features perfectly fit the industry standard and warned Bynder that some options they chose were potentially exposing their environment to risks or security issues. The company discovered that they allowed less secure apps in their work environment, without knowing it.
This assessment with partner Devoteam G Cloud ensured that Bynder is now following the security best practices, by auditing and suggesting Google Workspace configuration changes.
It saved us a lot of hours because we didn’t have to go through the 400 questions of the assessment ourselves. Plus, we received some extra advice. That extra advice was certainly an added value. It’s one of the reasons why we choose for a partnership with Devoteam G Cloud.
By focusing more on their Google Workspace environment, Bynder discovered at the same time the possibilities of Google Workspace Enterprise.
Together with partner Devoteam G Cloud, Bynder identified Google Workspace Enterprise as having all capabilities to solve the initial challenges and enable the desired goals. They upgraded from Google Workspace Business to Google Workspace Enterprise, a Google Workspace edition that has a lot more security features than the Business edition.
Google Workspace is very easy. You can have your emails, Drive, all kinds of applications and tools in one platform. It’s a very centralised way to get all the services you need in only one subscription.
With the Enterprise edition, Bynder is now able to use the investigation tool in Google Workspace, for example. They can find an exact email from all the employees’ mailboxes and click on 1 button to get that email deleted. Without even looking at the content & violating the privacy of the employees, they can now simply look for the email title and remove the email.
You are not just a customer at Devoteam G Cloud, but a very important customer. Devoteam G Cloud goes the extra mile for us. I can pick up the phone or send an email and expect a response very soon. We get personalised advice & commitment from Devoteam G Cloud. We never had such a personalised relationship with any other partner. Overall, a close collaboration.
The Result
The initial Google Workspace security assessment resulted in a strong personal relationship with partner Devoteam G Cloud. We benefit from an uninterrupted service without the need to think about capacity, performance, or account expiring. This partnership makes sure our whole organisation stays on top of the technological curve, and utilise Google Workspace to its full potential.
Bynder is now using Google Workspace to the fullest, both utilising it for collaboration and security purposes. They are now able to better manage confidential files and revoke access when needed.
