Google Workspace

The Google productivity tools your team already knows and loves. With the IT support your business needs.

Why Google Workspace for Your Business?

When the tools your team prefers become the tools your business runs on, everything changes. The familiarity means faster adoption. The built-in collaboration means faster decisions. The professional setup means you’re in control.


Real-time Collaboration

Your team works together in the same document at the same time. See edits as they happen. Comment and resolve issues instantly. Work gets finished faster when everyone contributes simultaneously instead of waiting for email rounds.

 

What this means for you: Decisions happen in hours instead of days.

Work From Anywhere

Your team in Perth collaborates with your team in Auckland as if they’re in the same room. Everything works the same whether someone’s in the office, at home or travelling. No special setup required.

 

What this means for you: Flexibility for your team doesn’t mean friction for your business.

Store & Share Files

Keep all your work in one secure place with cloud storage. Access and share with teammates whenever you need it, from your computer, phone or tablet. Everyone works from the same current version.

 

What this means for you: Your team finds what they need, when they need it.

AI Built-in

Gemini lives inside your tools and understands your business context. Summarise email threads, draft documents using your company information, spot trends in your data. No separate chat window.

 

What this means for you: Every person gets assistance that understands your work.

24/7 Security

Your data stays protected with the same security systems Google uses to protect governments and banks. Threats get detected and blocked 24/7 before they reach your team.

 

What this means for you: Security works in the background, not keeping you up at night.

 

Google Workspace includes:

Everything your team needs in one place. No juggling multiple subscriptions or vendors.

Google Workspace gives you the tools.

First Focus Makes Google Workspace Work for You.

The Google suite of productivity tools is powerful, but the difference is in how it’s set up, managed and supported. You can buy Google Workspace directly from Google today. What you can’t buy is:

  • Someone who answers the phone when your finance manager can’t access a critical spreadsheet
  • A team that configures security for your specific compliance requirements
  • Training that shows your operations team exactly how to use Shared Drives for their workflow
  • Engineers in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, and Auckland who know your business

Google builds excellent software. We make sure it works for how your business actually operates.

Why Google Workspace & First Focus

The right platform with the wrong support still fails.

Here’s what changes when Google Workspace is backed by a team that’s invested in your success.


Your Team Uses It

Deployment isn’t adoption. Your team gets training that’s relevant to their role, not generic tutorials. Support staff are available during the transition to answer questions. Change management ensures enthusiasm, not resistance.

 

What this means for you: You realise the ROI immediately because your team embraces the change.

People Who Know You

Your semi dedicated support team learns your systems, your workflows, and your people. When you need help, you speak to someone who already understands your environment. No explaining your setup to strangers every time.

 

What this means for you: Support that feels like an extension of your own team.

Keep IT Simple

Securely Configured

Google provides the tools. We configure them correctly for your industry and compliance requirements. Settings are actively managed and monitored 24/7. Threats get blocked before they reach your team.

 

What this means for you: Protection without needing to become a security expert.

Support Across ANZ

Your Brisbane team gets the same response time as your Perth office. We have engineers in every Australian state and New Zealand. As you grow into new locations, your support scales with you.

 

What this means for you: One partner across all your locations, with consistent service no matter where your team works.

You're Never Locked In

Month-to-month contracts mean we earn your business every day. If we’re not delivering value, you’re free to leave. No penalty fees. No negotiating your way out of multi-year commitments.

 

What this means for you: You stay because you want to, not because you’re trapped.

Complete Transparency

F-Connect gives you real-time visibility into tickets, projects, and spending. See which licenses are being used and which are sitting idle. Track performance and make informed decisions about your technology investment.

 

What this means for you: Your IT budget has clear accountability, not mystery costs.

David Abela

Finance Manager, Proximo Spirits Australia

First Focus has been helping this business with our IT needs for almost 10 years. As we have grown and gone through changes, First Focus have helped every step of the way and ensured our systems are up to date with a constantly evolving IT environment. Their service and knowledge is exceptional and their constant monitoring of our IT environment means we can all focus on our core business.

Michael Feliciano

Director of Corporate Services, Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons

When COVID hit, First Focus swiftly implemented a number of projects to improve the security and stability of our IT systems and support a remote work environment. I highly recommend First Focus to any company that wants a future-facing IT infrastructure managed by people you can trust.

Chen Chen

IT Infrastructure Manager at Australia Post FDS

As a division of Australia Post we must maintain a high level of security to protect customer data and the First Focus’ Managed network and Firewalls provide us with this. The level of support they provide for our cloud infrastructure is second to none, which is crucial to the continued day-to-day operations of our business.

Nayyar Ghaznavi

CIO at Rexel Holdings Australia

The team at First Focus have developed a strong relationship with Rexel Holdings Australia which has led to us outsourcing a number of services to them, the largest of which is the SD-WAN. The First Focus team are collaborative and engage extremely well with our team and our extended partner network to deliver quality outcomes.

Drew Auld

CIO, Nesuto Australia and New Zealand

First Focus provides excellent technical support, and I can always count on friendly and expert advice from the whole team.

CI Australia

Executive Assistant, CI Australia PTY LTD

CI Australia started working with First Focus in 2019. We were looking for an MSP that could deliver increased service quality with pricing that matched our budget. First Focus was originally in our top three preferred providers. What really helped them stand out was their proposal – there was no over- or under-scoping – and their reputation for good people and services.

Kate Smart

Renu Energy

We are happy with First Focus' attentiveness and availability of TAMs and support techs. Their ability to identify problem areas and working to resolve in a timely manner exceeds our expectations. Although we have been faced with some on-boarding issues, First Focus have been dedicated to working with us to rectify these issues and undertaking process improvement where needed.

Caitlin Hughes

Corporate Services Manager, Harrier Group

Our people now trust their IT. They don’t have to spend hours researching IT answers because they trust that when a call is logged it will be resolved. I’ll recommend First Focus to anyone because I know that they’ll be in good hands.

Adam Butler

Technology Manager, Redlands College

First Focus aren’t just suppliers, they think about the desired outcome and suggest the best way to overcome the problem.

Frequently Asked Questions

The technical work happens over a weekend, typically 48-72 hours. Your team experiences minimal disruption because the heavy lifting occurs outside business hours. Full adoption, where your team is comfortable and confident with the new tools, typically takes 30-60 days. We provide support throughout this period to ensure everyone settles in smoothly.

Everything comes across. Your emails, calendar history, contacts, and files are migrated completely. We use enterprise-grade migration tools that preserve folder structures, permissions, and metadata. Your team will find their work exactly where they expect it. Nothing gets lost in translation.

Absolutely. Migration doesn't mean everything changes overnight. Many businesses run hybrid environments during the transition period, keeping certain legacy systems while moving other functions to Google Workspace. The goal is to improve how you work, not to force unnecessary change. We help you make informed decisions about what to migrate and when.

Change management is built into our process, not bolted on afterward. Your team receives training relevant to their specific roles, not generic tutorials. We provide support during the first weeks to answer questions as they arise. Most teams tell us they wish they'd made the switch earlier once they experience how much easier collaboration becomes.

No. That's precisely what our partnership provides. We handle user management, security configuration, license optimisation, and ongoing administration. You get access to certified specialists across security, cloud architecture, and strategy without the recruitment challenges and overhead of building an internal team.

Your agreement is month-to-month with no lock-in contracts, which means you maintain complete control. During quarterly reviews, we actively look for optimisation opportunities. If you're paying for licenses that aren't being used, we'll recommend downgrades to save you money. Our job is to ensure you're getting value, not to maximise license sales.

Your dedicated support team monitors the migration actively and is available immediately if issues arise. Most potential problems get caught and resolved during our planning phase, well before the actual migration weekend. After you're live, the same team continues to support you. They know your environment and can respond quickly to any concerns.
