• Gmail - Gmail is an email system that allows you to send and receive mail using your professional address.
• Chat - Google Chat is a secure communication tool that provides easy business communication within the Workspace ecosystem.
• Docs - Google Docs allows you to collaborate on online documents, spreadsheets, and presentations in real time.
• Calendar - Google Calendar allows you to share calendars easily with your teammates so you can schedule meetings and events.
• Drive - Google Drive stores and backs up files securely in the Cloud.
• Meet - Google Meet is a virtual video meeting system that allows you and your team to join meetings from your devices.

There are different versions of Workspace to accommodate different business needs. So, for example, if you have the Google Workspace Business Plus edition, you’ll get extra features like Google Meet attendance reports and data protection insight audits. Depending on your organization’s needs, you can choose a Workspace edition that works for you.
