Service areas
Google Workspace support across Northern Virginia, Washington DC & Maryland
We set up and support Google Workspace for small businesses throughout the greater DMV. Based in Herndon, Virginia, we serve the greater DMV—Northern Virginia (including Loudoun, Fairfax, and all of NoVA), Washington DC, and Maryland (including Montgomery County and surrounding suburbs, Prince George’s County, and up to Baltimore), plus Virginia south to Fredericksburg. Remote-first IT support everywhere we cover; local engineers for onsite surveys, installs, and projects.

Questions
Good to know.
Can you migrate us from Microsoft 365 to Google Workspace?
Yes—and the other direction too. We plan coexistence or staged cutovers so teams aren't without email, and we verify mail flow before we call the migration complete.
Do you help clean up messy Google Drive sharing?
Often. We audit public links, move files into shared drives, and set org-wide sharing defaults so new files start in the right place.
Can you enforce 2-Step Verification for everyone?
Yes. We configure admin policies, enrollment deadlines, and backup codes—plus help desk support for stragglers so security doesn't become a blocker.
Do you support Google Meet hardware or room systems?
We can scope Meet-compatible room setups and calendar resources as part of a project—especially alongside our commercial AV work when you want cameras and displays integrated.
Is Google Workspace a good fit for healthcare or legal firms?
It can be—with the right settings, 2FA, and sharing policies. We pair technical safeguards with your compliance counsel's requirements; we're IT partners, not lawyers.
Is Google Workspace support included in managed IT?
For managed IT clients, everyday user support is typically included. Large migrations, shared-drive rebuilds, or major admin projects are scoped separately.
