The short answer
Adelaide businesses that want their team working from the office, home or site can have WaTo Consulting choose between Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, migrate email and files with folder permissions intact, and set up meetings, file sharing and multi factor login. Staff get a walkthrough of what has changed, and the same local team handles support afterwards.
What is cloud collaboration?
Cloud collaboration means using online tools like Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace so your team can share files, chat, video call and work on documents together, no matter where they are. Instead of everything sitting on one office server, your data lives securely in the cloud and follows your people to whatever device they're on. It's how modern businesses stay connected without being chained to a desk.
What we cover
Platform selection
Honest advice on Microsoft 365 vs Google Workspace vs a mix, based on how your team works rather than vendor kickbacks.
Cloud email & calendars
Business email on your domain with shared calendars, contacts and scheduling that works across devices.
File sharing & storage
Cloud file storage with proper folder structures, permissions and sync, so you can stop emailing spreadsheets around.
Video meetings & chat
Teams, Meet or Zoom set up so your people can talk face to face without the usual tech dramas.
Remote & hybrid working
The tools and access your team needs to work from home or site as easily as from the office.
Security & access controls
Multi-factor login, sharing policies and device management so your data stays safe outside the office.

Cloud & collaboration questions
Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace: which should we pick?
It depends on your team. If you're already in the Microsoft world, 365 usually makes sense. If your team lives in browsers and values simplicity, Google Workspace is worth a look. We'll give you a straight answer based on your situation.
What happens to our files when we move to the cloud?
We migrate them across with folder structures and permissions intact. Nothing gets left behind, and we keep a copy until you're happy everything's in place.
Is the cloud safe for business data?
Yes, with the right configuration. We set up multi-factor authentication, sharing controls and backup so your data is protected and recoverable.
Can our team work from home properly?
That's exactly what cloud collaboration is for. With the right setup, your people can securely access email, files and meetings from home, site or anywhere with an internet connection.
