Within 27 days, Navnit Group had successfully completed the data migration process for all of its users in the Google Workspace platform, and based on the feedback the stakeholders/employees were very satisfied.

The challenges and frustration caused by their old system were updated by the ease of use and reliability of Google’s cloud-based communication and collaboration solutions.
