Why Growing Businesses Hit the Google Workspace Ceiling
Let’s be honest — Google Workspace works great when you’re starting out.
It’s simple, affordable, and fast to adopt. MStack360 fully recognizes that.
We even started there ourselves.
But as businesses grow, the limitations start to show.
Costs Quietly Increase
For 30–50 employees, Google Workspace alone costs $540–$900 per month.
Missing Tools Require Add-Ons
Businesses add extra tools to fill the gaps — usually another $500–$1,000 per month.
Productivity Suffers
File compatibility issues and disconnected apps slow teams down every day.
No Real IT Support
When things break, there’s no structured support or accountability.
The Turning Point
This is when Sarah contacted MStack360. She knew Google Workspace wasn’t “bad” — it just wasn’t built for how her business was growing. She wanted to move to Microsoft 365.
We agreed. With Microsoft 365, everything lives under one ecosystem. After the basic setup, we could automate tasks using Power Automate and even build simple business apps — often without needing extra licenses.
OneDrive & SharePoint replace Dropbox
Teams replaces Zoom and Slack
Power Automate replaces Zapier
Planner replaces Trello
Bookings replaces Calendly
Power BI replaces Tableau
OneNote replaces Notion
In some advanced scenarios, premium licenses for Power Automate, Power Apps, or Power BI may be needed — but in our experience, this is rare.
“We were stuck — too small for enterprise solutions, too big for basic tools.
That’s when I found MStack360.”
Google Workspace still has advantages — simplicity, fast onboarding,
and generous storage. It’s not a bad platform.
It simply serves a very different use case than Microsoft 365.
For real business operations and growing teams,
Microsoft 365 offers a much broader and more scalable scope.
The MStack360 Discovery: A Different Approach to Migration and Support
When Sarah first contacted MStack360, she had already spoken to three other migration companies. What she heard left her frustrated and worried.
Traditional Migration Quotes
- Migration costs: $10,000–$20,000
- Timeline: 2–3 months of disruption
- Ongoing support: $50–$60 per user, per month
The Breaking Point
- One provider quoted $2,100 per month just for support for 35 users
- That’s $25,200 per year on top of Microsoft 365 licenses
“One company wanted $2,100 monthly just for support,” Sarah recalls. “That’s when I knew something was wrong.”
The MStack360 Difference
This is exactly why MStack360 exists. Our founder, Ahmed Masoud, built MStack360 specifically for small and mid-size businesses that need enterprise-level service — without enterprise pricing.
- Free consultation — a real technical assessment, not a sales pitch
- Fixed-price migration — for Sarah, the full migration cost was $1200, including basic end-user login support
- No hidden fees — no surprises, no fine print
- Option to hire MStack360 later on a monthly retainer instead of per-user pricing
- First month of support included FREE
“When Ahmed personally called me for the consultation,
I knew MStack360 was different.
He pulled up our Google Admin panel and showed me exactly
what we had — and exactly what we would save.”
The MStack360 Migration Method: Zero Downtime, Zero Drama
MStack360 has refined its migration process through more than 500 successful projects. Here’s exactly how we handled Sarah’s migration — without downtime or business disruption.
Week 1: Discovery & Assessment
- Mapped all current tools, users, and data
- Identified risks and potential challenges
- Created a custom migration plan
- Set up the Microsoft 365 environment
Led directly by Ahmed Masoud to ensure nothing was missed.
Week 2: Pilot Testing
- Migrated Sarah and her assistant first
- Tested email, files, calendars, and permissions
- Validated everything before touching other users
“We could see everything worked perfectly before touching anyone else’s data.”
The Weekend Migration
- All 35 email accounts transferred
- Every file moved with permissions intact
- Calendars and contacts fully preserved
- SharePoint structure optimized
“I got text updates from Omar all weekend. By Monday morning, everything was just there — working better than before.”
Week 3: Training & Optimization
- Three comprehensive training sessions included
- Custom documentation for Sarah’s team
- SharePoint automation configured
- Microsoft Teams setup optimized
