Do business. Everywhere.

IT Guys can completely transform the way your business operates by providing safe, and easy access to your IT systems from anywhere, at any time. All your apps, documents and other data will be accessible to you from any computer, phone or tablet using a secure connection.

We work with the three leading cloud productivity platforms — Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and Zoho Workplace — and help you choose, migrate to, and manage the one that actually fits your business, not just the one that’s easiest to sell.

Beyond resilience, a proper cloud setup gives you:

• Access from anywhere — email, documents and apps on any laptop, phone or tablet, secured with proper access controls
• Lower costs — no on-site server to buy, maintain, or replace every few years
• Real-time collaboration — multiple people working on the same document, spreadsheet or project at once
• Built-in backup and recovery — your data isn’t a single hard drive away from disaster
• Scalability — add or remove users in minutes as your team grows or changes

Choose Your Platform

Each of these three platforms solves the same core problem — getting your team working from anywhere — but they fit different businesses differently. Here’s how we help clients choose.

Microsoft 365

Microsoft 365 pairs the desktop Office apps your team already knows — Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint — with cloud-based email (Exchange Online), file storage (OneDrive/SharePoint), and Microsoft Teams for calls, chat and video meetings. It’s built for businesses that need strong offline functionality, deep enterprise security controls, and tight integration with Windows.

Best for: established businesses, teams that rely on advanced Excel/Word features, and organisations needing enterprise-grade compliance and security.

As a Microsoft Partner, IT Guys handles your full Microsoft 365 setup — licensing, mailbox migration, Teams rollout, and ongoing support.

Google Workspace

Google Workspace is a browser-first suite built around Gmail, Google Drive, Docs, Sheets and Meet. Everything is designed for real-time collaboration — multiple people editing the same document simultaneously, with changes saved automatically. It’s fast to deploy, intuitive for new users, and well suited to lean, fast-moving teams.

Best for: startups, remote-first teams, and businesses that prioritise simplicity and real-time collaboration over advanced desktop features.

IT Guys is a Google Workspace partner and manages your migration, user setup, and day-to-day admin so your team can focus on work, not IT.

Zoho Workplace

Zoho Workplace bundles email, document editing, chat, and video conferencing into a single, privacy-focused suite — at a fraction of the cost of Microsoft or Google. It’s a strong option for cost-conscious businesses that still want a full, professional toolset without paying for features they won’t use.

Best for: small businesses and startups looking to cut software costs without cutting functionality, and businesses with a strong focus on data privacy.

IT Guys configures and supports your Zoho Workplace environment, from mail setup to team onboarding.

Not Sure Which One Fits Your Business?

Most businesses don’t need a sales pitch for one platform — they need someone to look honestly at their team size, budget, and existing tools and recommend what actually works. That’s what we do. We’ll walk you through the trade-offs, handle the migration so nothing gets lost or disrupted, and stay on as your support partner once you’re live.
