Why teams anchor here

Everything Google gives you, plus the part they don't.

Buying licences is the easy bit. What decides whether Workspace actually works for your team is the migration, the DNS, the admin policy and who picks up when something breaks at 6am. That's the part we own.

01

Better than buying direct

Reseller agreements let us structure licensing around how your headcount actually moves — seasonal hires, contractors, a whole department added mid-quarter. You get consolidated invoicing, flexible terms and a commercial contact who knows your account instead of a self-serve billing page.

02

Migration handled by people

Mail, calendars, contacts and shared drives come across with folder structure, permissions and history intact. We run a pilot group first, cut over out of hours, and keep dual delivery running until every mailbox is confirmed clean. No self-service wizard, no lost threads.

03

Deliverability configured

SPF, DKIM and DMARC published, aligned and monitored — plus MX, autodiscover and any third-party senders like your CRM, invoicing tool or marketing platform. We move DMARC from monitoring to enforcement gradually, so nothing legitimate ever gets caught in the net.

04

24/7 human support

Reach a named engineer by phone, email or chat at any hour — including weekends and public holidays. No tiered script, no bouncing between regions. Critical issues get a response inside fifteen minutes and an owner who stays with the ticket until it closes.

Google Workspace editions

Four editions. One team that knows which one you need.

We size the plan to the work, not the logo. Most teams end up mixing editions — frontline staff on Starter, client-facing people on Standard, leadership on Plus. Tell us how your team is shaped and we'll map it out, including any Gemini add-ons that make sense for you.

Not sure where you land? Send us your headcount and we'll come back with a plan mix, a migration timeline and a written proposal — usually within one business day.

Migration from Microsoft 365, Gmail or anywhere else

Exchange Online, on-prem Exchange, IMAP hosts, Zoho, another Google tenant — we've moved them all. You get a written migration plan, a pilot batch, an out-of-hours cutover window and dual delivery while DNS propagates. Shared mailboxes become delegated accounts or groups, distribution lists are recreated, and calendar invites keep their organisers. Nothing gets left behind on the old server.

Admin console set up the way it should be

Organisational units mirroring your real structure, groups with sensible ownership, sharing policies that don't quietly leak documents, mobile device rules, alerting on suspicious sign-ins, and a proper offboarding runbook so leavers are archived rather than deleted. We hand over documentation your IT lead can actually read.

Deliverability that survives contact with reality

We audit every system that sends on your behalf, publish a single clean SPF record that stays under the lookup limit, sign with DKIM at 2048-bit, then move DMARC from p=none through quarantine to reject while watching the aggregate reports. If your invoices or quotes were landing in junk before, this is usually the fix.

Gemini in Workspace, rolled out properly

AI in Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Meet and Vids is only useful if people know what to do with it. We enable it on eligible editions, set the data-handling policies your legal team will ask about, and run short practical sessions for each department — sales, finance, ops — so adoption goes beyond the first week's novelty.

Local billing and invoicing you can hand to finance

One consolidated invoice in your own currency, with your purchase-order references, tax details and cost-centre breakdown already on it. Add or remove seats mid-term and it reconciles on the next cycle. Annual, quarterly or monthly billing — whichever your finance team prefers, not whichever a checkout page allows.

A dedicated account manager who knows your setup

You get a named person with your domain, your org chart and your history in front of them — not a queue. They run your quarterly review, flag licence waste before renewal, brief you on edition changes that affect you, and escalate straight into Google's partner channels when an issue needs to go further than tier one.

How it works

Three steps from first email to fully settled.

Most teams are live within a week. Larger migrations take longer, but the shape of the work is always the same — understand, move, watch.

1

A short discovery call

Thirty minutes. We look at your current provider, headcount, domains, shared mailboxes and any compliance obligations, then send a written proposal with a recommended edition mix and a timeline.

  • Current mail platform audited
  • Domains and DNS reviewed
  • Written proposal, no obligation
2

We migrate and configure

Tenant provisioned, users and groups created, a pilot batch moved and verified, then the full cutover in a window that suits you. DNS, deliverability records and admin policies all go in as part of the same piece of work.

  • Mail, calendar, contacts, drives
  • SPF, DKIM, DMARC and MX published
  • Out-of-hours cutover window
3

You settle in, we stay close

Onboarding sessions for your team, a documented handover for IT, then ongoing support around the clock. Your account manager checks in through the first month and reviews licensing before every renewal so you never pay for seats nobody uses.

  • Live training for each department
  • 24/7 support, named engineers
  • Licence review before renewal
Security & deliverability

A sheltered inbox is a secured one.

Spoofed domains, credential phishing and quietly over-shared documents are the three ways most small businesses actually get hurt. Every Desk Cove deployment closes all three before we call it finished — and we keep watching afterwards.

SPF DKIM 2048-bit DMARC MTA-STS BIMI ready 2FA enforced DLP rules Context-aware access

SPF, DKIM and DMARC

Published, aligned and validated across every sending source, then moved to an enforcing policy in stages. Aggregate reports are monitored so a new tool never silently breaks your alignment.

Two-step verification

Enforced organisation-wide with enrolment periods, exception handling and hardware security keys for admins and finance — the two groups attackers actually go after.

Data loss prevention

Rules that catch card numbers, tax identifiers and confidential document labels before they leave the organisation — warning, blocking or quarantining depending on how strict you need to be.

Admin controls and audit

Least-privilege admin roles, device management, external sharing policy, retention rules through Vault and alerting that reaches a human — not just a dashboard nobody opens.

In their words

The migration nobody had to talk about afterwards.

Three teams who moved to Google Workspace with Desk Cove — and what changed once the dust settled.

We had eleven years of mail on an old Exchange box and everyone assumed the move would be a disaster. Desk Cove ran a pilot on the finance team first, cut the rest over on a Saturday night, and on Monday the only thing anyone noticed was that search finally worked.
Ravindra AlvaOperations Director, Marlowe Group
Half our quotes were going to spam and we'd stopped noticing. Desk Cove rebuilt our SPF record, signed everything with DKIM and walked DMARC up to enforcement over six weeks. Reply rates went up before we'd changed a single word of the actual emails.
Elena FournierHead of Revenue, Bright Ferry
I'm a one-person IT department for sixty people. Having a named engineer who already knows our org units and sharing policies means I stop being the bottleneck. Last time we had an issue at eleven at night, someone picked up on the second ring.
Tomas OkonkwoIT Manager, Pallas Freight

It depends on how many people you have, which editions they need and whether you want annual or flexible commitment terms. Request a quote and we'll share pricing tailored to your team size, along with a recommended edition mix and the migration work included.

No. We copy mail into the new tenant while your old system is still receiving, then switch MX records during an agreed window — usually overnight or over a weekend. Dual delivery stays on until DNS has fully propagated and every mailbox is confirmed complete, so nothing bounces and nothing is stranded on the old server.

Folder structure, labels, calendar events with their original organisers, contacts and shared drive permissions all come across. We reconcile item counts mailbox by mailbox before we sign off.

Identical. Same products, same features, same Google infrastructure and the same admin console. Desk Cove is an independent authorized reseller — we're not Google, and we don't run any part of the service. What you get on top is the migration, the configuration, consolidated local billing, a named account manager and round-the-clock support from our team as well as Google's.

Yes — it's one of the most common projects we run. Exchange Online, hybrid or on-premises Exchange, IMAP-based hosts, Zoho and other Google tenants are all supported. Shared mailboxes become delegated accounts or Google Groups, distribution lists are rebuilt, room resources are recreated, and OneDrive or SharePoint content moves into Drive and shared drives with permissions preserved.

We also handle the awkward parts: mail-enabled public folders, legacy applications that authenticate against the mail server, and the third-party tools quietly sending on your domain.

Phone, email or chat, 24 hours a day, every day of the year — including weekends and public holidays. Critical issues get a first response inside fifteen minutes, and a named engineer owns the ticket until it's resolved rather than passing it between shifts. Where something needs to go further, we escalate directly through Google's partner channels on your behalf.

Your account manager also runs periodic reviews: licence usage, security posture, edition changes that affect you and anything worth cleaning up before renewal.

Yes. Adding seats takes minutes and they're provisioned the same day. Reductions depend on whether you're on a flexible or committed term, and we'll walk you through the trade-off between the two before you choose. Either way, changes reconcile on your next invoice — no separate checkout, no surprise line items — and your account manager reviews usage ahead of renewal so you're not carrying seats for people who left.
