SYS 046: Google Vs Microsoft. And the winner is...

Steve tackles the often posed question of which is the best platform to work with, Microsoft or Google? When you are setting up your business there is no doubt that high grade efficient software is essential so which way should you go to give yourself the best steps forward?   KEY TAKEAWAYS  When it comes to free apps for personal use the difference is not so important but when creating your company you need business grade software. Microsoft’s complex systems can create an administrative nightmare for most small businesses. You wont have time to deal with the hundreds of settings Microsoft requires if you are a small business and unless you employ a Microsoft specialist, which is expensive, you will lose time tweaking menus to get the results you want. Google is so simple to use it totally cancels out the micro management of IT. Instructional videos and good tech support is of a much higher quality with Google so your team will be able to solve their IT problem themselves.   BEST MOMENTS  'This question of Microsoft versus Google is one I’ve debated with people on both sides of the fence.’ ‘You need to have people in your business to work with you therefore you need business grade software.’ ‘Here follows the little rant I had about this in our Facebook group chat the other day.’ ‘I’ve been a geek all my life, I’ve done a degree in computing and I was basically Microsoft, Microsoft, Microsoft.’ 'It is just like night and day. It is so simple to do the administration that I get one of my team with no IT experience to do all of my operational back office admin.’   VALUABLE RESOURCES Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/SystemsAndOutsourcing/  Website: https://systemsandoutsourcing.com/welcome-1  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/drsteveday      ABOUT THE HOST Steve used to be a slave to his business but when he moved to Sweden in 2015, he was forced to change the way he worked.
