当我们提到网上购物时,我们通常会想到衣服、旅行、住宿,甚至可能想到在浏览商品列表时看到的一些有趣的东西。
由于疫情,我们不像以前那样经常出门了。 许多人开始选择在线购买必需品。
结果是什么呢? 那就是许多企业,尤其是小型企业,开始发展线上业务以适应不断变化的消费方式和消费者偏好。
Exabytes 的创始人兼首席执行官Chan Kee Siak先生与来自 BFM89.9 的 Freda Liu 就企业在发展线上业务时面临的挑战以及如何应对这些挑战进行了交谈。
Freda:
早上好,我是 Freda Liu。 您正在收听 [Open For Business]。
由于疫情,越来越多的小型企业正在采用并逐步转向发展线上业务。
电子商务发展迅速,旧的线上运营方式很快就会过时。
开拓线上业务不是什么难题。但是,如何让其给消费者带来无缝衔接式的购物体验呢?
我们邀请了 Exabytes 的创始人兼首席执行官 Chan Kee Siak 先生,我们将一起探讨新零售革命,了解什么是新零售。
早上好,Chan Kee Siak 先生。
Mr Chan:
Freda,早上好。
在疫情爆发之前和爆发期间,Exabytes 情况如何?
Freda:
在疫情爆发之前和爆发期间,Exabytes 情况如何?
我之所以用”疫情爆发之前”这个词,是因为我们以前就讨论过这个问题。不过确实是很久以前了。
所以您可以针对贵公司的重要发展节点以及疫情期间的发展状况作一个简单概述吗?
Mr Chan:
好的,无论是在疫情爆发之前还是现在,我们只做一件同样的事情,即帮助企业发展线上业务。
当然,这是一个非常广泛的范畴。
是这样的,我们基本上从一开始就为企业提供域名和网站,帮助他们开展业务。
然后慢慢地,我们已经发展到可以提供给他们真正的大量的云解决方案。
现在,在企业电子商务需求以及云需求方面,我们也为他们提供支持。 但所有的这些都有一个共同点。
那就是你可以看到他们是如何充分利用云电子商务或数字化来实现线上发展的。
现在来找您的小型企业都有哪些需求呢?
Freda:
好的,那现在来找您的小型企业都有哪些需求呢?
Mr Chan:
当然,我们看到越来越多的企业都对开拓线上业务很感兴趣并前来询问。
连小型企业也开始发展电子商务了。
过去,当我们听到有人想要接触电子商务时,可能会以为是个小伙子想干在线销售这一行。
但是现在,尤其是疫情期间,你会看到很多传统实体企业也想好好利用数字化电子商务来帮助其发展。
从零售杂货铺到餐馆,他们需要的不仅仅是一个网站,还需要一些订购功能。
这就是当前快速发展的一种潮流趋势。
什么是新零售?
Freda:
您刚刚谈到新零售,这一概念由马云提出。那什么是新零售呢?
Mr Chan:
没错,新零售。
你可以关注一下传统零售和实体零售企业是如何进入所谓的新一代的,用一个软件方面的术语来说,这里说的新一代就是新版本。
但是我认为,新零售指的是多年来消费者行为的演变,转化和发展,以及零售商们真正作出调整,来确保自身仍然能够与新一代零售商建立联系并保持相关性。
所以我在这里举了一些例子。我认为10年前、5年前甚至现在,很多零售商都与数字化脱节了。
零售之间也有区别对吗,一个简单的数字在零售领域就很有可能是一个销售点。
有些企业可能有电子商务部门,或者有在线商店,亦或者开始在市场上销售。
很多时候,大多数人都将这些看做是市场要素。因为所有的企业都有也必须要有一个电子商务商店。
如果你有一个网站,那你就得需要有一个电子商务商店。
就业务增长方式以及相关问题而言,管理实体零售业务和管理电子商务或在线业务的人之间是完全脱节的。
所以这会带来很多不匹配以及不好的购物体验。
举个例子,你在实体店购物获得积分,但是你不能用网上登录的账号在线使用这些积分。
所以这种购物体验是脱节的,反过来,因为由两个完全不同的团队在管理,线上业务部门和线下实体业务部门也在相互争斗。
这些就是零售业当前面临的问题,但我认为出现这些问题很正常。这是转型之旅的一部分。
因此,当事情开始发展,尤其是随着疫情封闭管理等情况加速发展时,消费者的需求和愿望就会更加强烈。他们希望获得无缝衔接式的购物体验。
除此之外,消费者也在不断发生转变,比如网购,在网上购买便宜或很酷的东西。
现在他们还想在网上寻找他们最喜欢或熟悉的品牌和零售商。这些消费者希望能够实现在线购买。
所以这一需求开始增长,然后变得越来越强烈。
就连非常传统的实体零售商也将开始研究如何连接线上和线下业务,如何将它们融合在一起。
所以,新零售就是这么开始的。
新零售为何兴起?我们的思维模式或行为是否阻碍了我们?
Freda:
所以您觉得这不是个技术性问题,是一个组织问题思维模式问题。
Mr Chan:
是行为。
Freda:
行为?需要改变人们的购物行为,是吗?当然,这种新零售在中国非常成功,今年是其蓬勃发展的一年。
那它怎么还会出现呢?这就是阻碍我们发展的原因吗?因为我们没有采用那种思维模式和行为吗?
中国也告诉了我们该怎么做,所以为什么还会出现这种情况呢?
Mr Chan:
我认为这是消费者购物演变的一部分。比如人们可能开始购买团购折扣,这就是团购时代。类似等等。
慢慢地,那些在商场、市场上买东西的人在接触了电子商务之后,便开始搜寻线上商家。
他们开始在网上寻找他们熟悉的品牌。他们希望这些传统品牌和商店能够拥有线上业务。
接着他们又希望线上业务能和线下业务联系起来。
所以我认为这就是销售者行为的演变。
新零售需要大量投资吗?
Freda:
您举了几个例子,比如智能镜子或者说是虚拟服装试穿、虚拟商店、快闪店,或者通过扫描二维码观看豪车的 3D 广告,都会方便人们立即购买。
现在,这些随处可见,轻而易举地就可以提供无缝衔接式购物体验。
但是这需要大量的投资吗?
Mr Chan:
我想说所有的这些都是新零售体验的一部分。他们都很便捷,看起来也很酷。
至于成本,在早期,这些可能会花费很多钱。因为你需要一个非常精通这些技巧或技术的特殊团队来帮助您润色和设计。
但是现在,这些东西在很多发达市场都很常见,相关技术工具进而也被广泛应用。
许多卖家或市场或平台已经将其中一些工具作为其标准产品的一部分。
这就意味着你要么不用支付额外费用,要么也是支付极少的费用,就可以使用所有这些功能。
例如,二维码就是完全免费的。你可以轻松生成二维码。
我认为,存在的挑战或问题,或者更确切地说是差距,是在于零售商尤其是传统零售商如何创新并弥合差距,以及如何整合所有构件以尽可能实现线上购物与线下购物的无缝衔接。
我认为需要注意的重要一点是,我们必须确保我们谈论的所有的这些很酷的新功能不会技术性太强或太难。
因为这样,你就不需要下载或安装其他软件就能享受该功能。如果需要你安装某些东西,那它绝对不是很酷。
Freda:
我认为这是一个与客户合作的过程。
你带领他们完成这个过程并且最终达到想要的结果,但合作的过程其实很缓慢的。
之后我想和您谈谈您对91APP的收购。各位听众,我和Exabytes 的 Chan Kee Siak在这里等您。
请继续收听【Open For Business BFM89.9】。
91APP是如何运作的?
Freda:
各位听众,早上好。我是 Freda Liu。今天我们邀请了 Exabytes 的 Chan Kee Siak,我们正在一起探讨新零售革命。
现在,Exabytes 的子公司 EasyStore 收购了 91APP,这是一家亚洲全渠道商务解决方案提供商,可以给客户提供无缝衔接的多渠道商务体验。
您可以告诉我们它是如何运作的吗?
Mr Chan:
好的,与其称其为收购,我可能会将其重新表述为非常具有战略意义的合资伙伴关系。
而与我们合资的另一方实际上是91APP,他们的马来西亚子公司。
我们可以稍微了解一下91APP的背景,它是一家成立于台湾台北的公司,专门从事所谓的全渠道或新零售电子商务,已经有十个年头了。
而创始团队在创立 91APP 之前,他们也已经接触电子商务行业近 20 多年,我认为这可以算是电子商务发展的早期阶段了。
所以我认为,总的来说,一个更发达的市场,比如中国台湾甚至美国,他们的电子商务实际上比东南亚等其他还在发展中的市场更成熟。
因此这意味着,由于他们更成熟的市场以及来自消费者和卖方方面的要求,他们已经进入到了所有电子商务相关的新领域。
所以我们的合作已经开始有一段时间了,或者说我们已经彼此了解了。我们也注意到他们在台湾非常成功地实施了这些新零售方案。
所以在我们的网站上,有我的电子商务和云解决方案,因为我和很多中小企业打过交道,他们一直想开拓线上业务并开始做电子商务。
我们也看到一些人在询问如何整合或连接线上和线下业务。 所以我们认为,91APP解决方案是一个非常好的例子。
不仅仅是因为这个概念很好,还因为他们出售 91APP 解决方案本身。正如我们在台湾证明的那样,我们的产品被台湾数以万计的零售商使用。
事实上,今天是他们在台湾正式上市的日子。这是一家实力很强的公司与企业。
因此,从我们与这家公司的业务关系之中,我们看到了很多潜在的协同效应。
这种新的零售解决方案和经验正是我们本地区所缺乏的。
我们有能力生产产品,但我们却没有在新零售商务方面5年、10年的运营经验,对吧。
所以我认为通过这种非常具有战略意义的合资伙伴关系,我们不仅可以引进他们的技术和解决方案,我们还可以利用他们的经验。
这实际上可以帮助我们所有的马来西亚同胞,尤其是那些有兴趣并敢于进入新零售业的零售商,少走一些弯路。
我们可以把他们在过去 10 年里学到的东西直接拿来,把那些相关性的东西应用到马来西亚的发展中,而不是不断试错。
是否有企业使用 91APP 的成功案例?
Freda:
是的,这很新潮。那么有没有我们在马来西亚的成功案例或者故事呢?
如果不在台湾,一个成功的企业是如何使用这个APP的呢?
Mr Chan:
当然,我可以分享一些我熟悉的在台湾成功应用他们解决方案的例子。
其中之一是一个在台湾和马来西亚都很受欢迎的零售连锁便利店。
他们是如何衔接线上和线下业务的呢?他们向所有进入门店的消费者宣传下载他们的APP。
当然,大家也可以通过移动浏览器访问他们的电子商务商店以及网站这些。
他们鼓励消费者下载APP.
下载手机APP并点击两下注册成为会员之后,消费者就可以获得新用户积分,有了这些积分,他们就可以开始在家使用 APP 购物了。
所以,你看,这样就改变了整个商业模式和消费者行为。
过去,你只有亲自去便利店才能购买到物品或零食等等。如果你不进去,那就没办法完成交易。
但是现在,手机APP成为了连接便利店和消费者的媒介和平台。
也就是说,当消费者看到他们感兴趣的产品时,在家就可以购买。这是一种24小时全天候的商业模式。
过去,只有在便利店才有24小时全天候服务。
消费者在家购物时,他们可以选择亲自去便利店提货,也可以选择将产品配送到家门口,因此这种购物体验变得更加有趣。
不仅如此,通过APP以及91APP新零售解决方案,商家还可以推出特别促销或优惠活动,刺激消费者在实体店进行回购。
比如,Freda,我给你一张免费的咖啡券。
Freda:
好的。
Mr Chan:
但你只能去实体店内才能领取咖啡券。
Freda:
好。
Mr Chan:
这就是他们的运作方式。当消费者在线下零售店购物时,商家会引导他们线上购物。当他们已经习惯了线上购物时,商家又会刺激他们来到线下购物。
Freda:
我明白了。
Mr Chan:
这就是它如何最大化零售业务范围和机会的。实际上想象力才是唯一的限制。
Freda:
好的。 我想,当我们真的去实体店时,我们从来不只是仅仅为了一杯咖啡,我们总想买点别的东西。
Mr Chan:
是的,就是这个道理。
Freda:
可能来点小食来配咖啡。
Mr Chan:
是的,可能也会点点饮料或者其他东西。
疫情教会了你什么?
Freda:
我们知道,您是一位创业多次的企业家,那疫情教会了您什么呢?
Mr Chan:
疫情也已经持续一年半了,我觉得我们从过去学到了很多有趣的东西。
我们可以看到,拥有数字化要素和能力的企业能够很好地在疫情期间存活下来,并且大部分还做的很好。
再看看那些采用传统商业模式的企业,很多都已经脱节了,他们缺乏数字化要素。
一旦开始实施封闭管理,人们没办法出门,他们的发展就会变得极其困难。
我认为,即使没有行管令,实际上有一半的人还是会提心吊胆,他们基本上还是会选择不出门,不去商场商店。因此,你可以想象那些企业受到的影响有多大。
另一方面,我也发现,拥有数字化能力和电子商务能力的企业不仅能够在疫情期间存活下来,到现在,他们的业务也还在持续增长。
我喜欢拿我家附近的杂货铺来举例。过去,他们只能为来市场购物的人服务,所以他们的消费者就仅限于Taman或附近的居民。
但现在它有自己的线上商店了,也从 WhatsApp 上接单。
基本上覆盖了整个槟城岛的消费者。 因此,这就是利用数字化或电子商务来打破物理障碍和限制。
你想知道如何在数字化世界和电子商务世界中运作吗?
这其实一点都不难,也不用花费很多钱。 很多人都是使用大量免费的工具和资源来帮助他们发展的。
对于企业来说,整合线下和线上业务的理想化组合或比例是否存在呢?
Freda:
当您和实体企业交谈时,您会告诉他们一个理想化的解决方案吗?
线上业务和线下业务的比例会是五五开吗?就是说会有一个理想化的组合吗?
Mr Chan:
没有所谓的最佳方案或组合。因为每个企业都不一样,方案也因企业而异。
但至少你要有多个销售渠道,或者说至少你要有一家线下零售店外加一个线上渠道。
这样就可以扩大企业的业务范围了。
以防万一,如果再次封闭管理,线上商店仍然可以接单,反之亦然。
作为一个经营多家企业的人来说,我认为开展线上业务真正的好处是更好地利用在线资源,我所谓的业务运营不会局限于我目前所在的地方。
我可以在槟城岛与你交谈的同时,与世界各地的消费者达成业务交易。
我认为这就是开展线上业务的魅力所在。
Freda:
是的,这样一来,在封闭管理期间您只是无法出门,但业务交易却没因此停止。

![Teamwork Made Simple: How SMEs in Malaysia Stay Organised with Google Workspace Teamwork Made Simple: How SMEs Use Google Workspace to Stay Organised [Image] Discover how Malaysian SMEs use Google Workspace to stay organised and work like corporates. Learn teamwork hacks for proposals, spreadsheets, and project tracking. Boost productivity, save time, and simplify collaboration with Exabytes Google Workspace solutions. Targeted Keywords: Google Workspace Malaysia, Google Workspace for SMEs, teamwork with Google Workspace, Google Workspace collaboration tools, SMEs productivity tools Malaysia, project tracking with Google Workspace, Exabytes Google Workspace solutions Teamwork Made Simple: How SMEs Use Google Workspace to Stay Organised Running a small or medium enterprise (SME) in Malaysia often means juggling multiple roles at once — handling sales proposals, updating financial spreadsheets, managing HR files, and following up on client emails. Without the right tools, these daily tasks quickly become scattered across WhatsApp chats, email attachments, and endless file versions. This is where Google Workspace comes in. Designed as an all-in-one productivity suite, it helps SMEs streamline teamwork so even small teams can operate with the efficiency of large corporations. 👉 In this article, we’ll explore: - Why staying organised is critical for SMEs. - Real-life scenarios where Workspace improves teamwork. - How proposals, spreadsheets, and projects get done faster. - Extra features beyond Gmail, Docs, and Sheets. - A Malaysian SME case study. - The importance of security and trust. - Why Exabytes is the right partner for local businesses. --- Why Organisation Matters for SMEs Organisation is not just about being neat — it directly affects profit and growth. According to a study, unclear communication and disorganisation cost teams 20–30% of their productivity. For SMEs in Malaysia, where teams are often small and resources limited, this impact is even greater. Consider this: - A delayed proposal can mean losing a valuable client. - A duplicated spreadsheet entry may create cash flow miscalculations. - Misplaced documents can slow down regulatory compliance. By adopting structured tools like Google Workspace, SMEs can: - Share and edit files in real-time without confusion. - Keep communication centralised, reducing reliance on messy WhatsApp groups. - Track tasks and projects systematically. - Build a professional image when engaging clients and partners. --- Scenario 1: Sharing Proposals Without the Chaos Imagine a sales executive at a Kuala Lumpur-based SME preparing a proposal for a major client. Traditionally, the process involves: 1. Drafting the proposal in Microsoft Word. 2. Emailing the attachment back and forth for edits. 3. Managers reviewing different versions simultaneously. 4. Confusion about which “final_v2.docx” is the actual final version. With Google Docs in Workspace, this chaos disappears: - Multiple teammates can edit and comment in real-time. - The manager can approve changes instantly without version clashes. - A single live link is shared with the client, avoiding outdated attachments. For SMEs, faster proposals mean a higher chance of closing deals ahead of competitors. --- Scenario 2: Collaborating on Spreadsheets Made Easy Finance and operations teams often depend heavily on spreadsheets. But with manual file sharing, version mismatches and calculation errors are common. With Google Sheets, SMEs benefit from: - Live updates: everyone works on the same file simultaneously. - Data integrity: built-in change history reduces the risk of accidental deletion. - Advanced features: pivot tables, charts, and even integration with external data sources. - Access control: sensitive data is view-only for some, editable for others. 📍 Example: A Penang-based SME tracks supplier payments and client invoices in Google Sheets. When a team member updates a supplier’s payment status, the finance manager sees it in real-time. No delays, no duplicate records. 💡 Supporting Research: A PwC report found that while digital tools can boost productivity, clarity in digital processes is essential for improving employee morale and reducing workplace stress. --- Scenario 3: Tracking Projects Like a Corporate Giant One of the biggest struggles for SMEs is managing multiple ongoing projects without expensive software. Google Workspace makes this simple by combining Google Drive, Google Calendar, and Google Meet. - Project files are stored in shared Drives, eliminating scattered folders on personal laptops. - Deadlines are synced to Google Calendar, with automated reminders. - Weekly check-ins are held on Google Meet, where teams can update progress directly from linked Docs and Sheets. 📍 Example: A Johor-based creative agency uses Workspace to manage multiple client campaigns. Each campaign has its own shared Drive folder, with timelines tracked on Calendar. The team no longer spends hours asking “who has the latest file?” — everything is in one central place. 💡 Research Insight: A report by International Data Corporation (IDC) sponsored by Google found that organisations using Google Workspace gained significant productivity benefits, including an average reduction in project delivery time compared to traditional methods. --- Beyond the Basics: Features SMEs Often Overlook Many SMEs in Malaysia still think Workspace is only about Gmail, Docs, and Sheets. But it offers much more: - Smart Canvas: assign tasks, insert checklists, and tag teammates directly inside Docs or Sheets. - Google Chat Spaces: structured, searchable team chatrooms — a more professional alternative to WhatsApp groups. - App Integrations: connect Workspace with Asana, HubSpot, or Trello to create a central hub for all work. - Forms & Surveys: quickly gather staff feedback or client inputs without relying on third-party tools. These features transform Workspace into more than just a productivity suite — it becomes a complete SME management platform. --- Case Study: Malaysian SME Scaling Faster with Workspace A Johor Bahru-based e-commerce SME adopted Google Workspace after struggling with scattered tools (email on one platform, Dropbox for storage, Trello for tasks). Within six months: - Proposal turnaround dropped from 3 days to 1 day. - Finance reporting errors decreased by 40%. - Meetings became shorter and more effective as updates were visible in Docs and Sheets before calls. - Team onboarding improved as new hires could access all resources in one shared Drive. This shift helped the SME appear more structured to partners and investors — a critical factor in securing funding. --- Security and Trust — Even for Small Teams SMEs are often targets of cyberattacks due to weaker security setups. A 2024 report by Lockbaud indicates that small companies experience a 350% increase in social engineering attacks compared to larger organisations. With Workspace, SMEs benefit from enterprise-grade security without the costs: - TLS encryption for email. - Two-step verification for accounts. - Admin controls for file sharing and device access. - Data Loss Prevention (DLP) to prevent accidental leaks. This means even a small 5-person team can have the same protection as a multinational corporation. --- Why Malaysian SMEs Choose Exabytes for Workspace While Workspace itself is powerful, implementing it correctly can be tricky. That’s where Exabytes steps in: - Migration support: move old emails and files without disruptions. - Local support: 24/7 assistance from Malaysia-based teams. - Affordable pricing: plans customised for SMEs. - Training & onboarding: ensuring staff adopt the tools effectively. For Malaysian SMEs, this local support makes all the difference in achieving smooth digital transformation. --- Conclusion For SMEs, staying organised isn’t just about efficiency — it’s about survival and growth. With Google Workspace, small teams can: - Share proposals seamlessly without version confusion. - Collaborate on spreadsheets with real-time accuracy. - Track projects like corporate giants. - Leverage security and integrations usually reserved for big enterprises. The result? Faster decision-making, a more professional image, and stronger client trust. In Malaysia’s competitive market, these advantages give SMEs the agility they need to thrive. 👉 Ready to simplify teamwork for your SME? Explore Exabytes Google Workspace solutions today. --- Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Here are answers to common questions Malaysian business owners ask about Google Workspace: 1. Why should SMEs in Malaysia use Google Workspace instead of free tools? Free tools like Gmail, Dropbox, or WhatsApp may work initially, but they lack consistency, professionalism, and control. With Workspace, SMEs get a unified system for communication, file storage, and collaboration. This means fewer errors, faster decision-making, and a stronger brand image. For SMEs competing in Malaysia’s crowded market, these small advantages add up. --- 2. How does Google Workspace improve teamwork compared to traditional email attachments? Traditional workflows often involve endless email chains and multiple file versions. With Workspace, all team members edit the same document or spreadsheet in real-time. The “version history” function ensures no data is lost. This means fewer misunderstandings, less back-and-forth, and faster project completion. --- 3. Is Google Workspace too advanced or costly for small businesses? Not at all. Plans start at just a few ringgit per user per month, making it affordable even for micro-SMEs. More importantly, the time and errors saved often outweigh the subscription cost. Plus, Workspace scales easily as the business grows. --- 4. How secure is Google Workspace for SMEs? Very secure. Workspace uses enterprise-grade security, including TLS encryption, two-factor authentication, and AI-driven spam/phishing filters. According to Google Cloud, Workspace blocks 99.9% of spam and phishing attempts before they reach inboxes. This gives SMEs protection usually only accessible to large corporations. --- 5. Can Workspace integrate with the tools I already use? Yes. Google Workspace integrates seamlessly with CRM software like HubSpot, project management tools like Asana, and accounting platforms like Xero. SMEs can keep using their preferred apps while enjoying centralised communication and file management. --- 6. How does Workspace help SMEs present a professional image? Emails from yourname@yourcompany.com look far more credible than free Gmail or Yahoo addresses. Consumers are more likely to trust and buy from businesses with branded email addresses. For Malaysian SMEs, this can be the difference between closing or losing a deal. --- 7. Does Workspace help remote or hybrid teams in Malaysia? Yes. Workspace is cloud-based, so employees can log in from anywhere. Whether staff are in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, or working overseas, they can collaborate seamlessly on Docs, Sheets, and Meet. This is crucial as hybrid work is now the new normal in Asia. --- 8. How does Workspace reduce reliance on WhatsApp groups? Many SMEs in Malaysia still run projects through WhatsApp, leading to lost messages and scattered files. With Google Chat and Spaces, discussions are structured, searchable, and tied directly to files in Drive. This prevents important updates from being buried in casual conversations. --- 9. What happens if my company grows quickly? Workspace scales effortlessly. Adding new staff is as simple as creating new accounts under your domain. Each team member instantly gets access to shared drives, branded email, and collaboration tools. This keeps the organisation consistent as the team expands. --- 10. Can Workspace really save time for SMEs? Yes. Features like Gmail’s Smart Compose and Docs’ AI suggestions help employees write faster and avoid repetitive tasks. Google mentioned that AI across its productivity suite saves its 3 billion users' time. (Google Blog). For SMEs, time saved translates directly into cost savings and faster client responses. --- 11. How does Workspace help with project management? Workspace combines Docs, Sheets, Drive, Calendar, and Meet into a single ecosystem. SMEs can store all project files in shared folders, assign tasks via Docs or Sheets, and schedule deadlines in Calendar. This makes project tracking far simpler compared to juggling multiple third-party apps. --- 12. Is Google Workspace mobile-friendly? Yes. According to DataReportal Malaysia 2024, 96% of Malaysians use the internet via smartphones. Workspace has official apps for Android and iOS, so employees can check emails, join meetings, or update files while on the go. --- 13. Can Workspace improve customer service for SMEs? Absolutely. SMEs can set up specific email addresses such as support@company.com or sales@company.com. This ensures customer queries are directed to the right team, speeding up response times and improving satisfaction. Customers perceive the business as more organised and professional. --- 14. Is it difficult to migrate from Gmail, Yahoo, or Outlook to Workspace? Not with the right support. Google offers migration tools, and Exabytes provides local assistance to transfer emails, contacts, and files safely. This ensures zero downtime, so businesses can continue operating smoothly while upgrading to Workspace. --- 15. How does Exabytes support SMEs using Google Workspace? As an official Google Workspace Partner in Malaysia, Exabytes offers: - Domain setup and email migration. - Training sessions for your staff. - 24/7 local support in English and Bahasa Malaysia. - Affordable SME-friendly pricing plans. This means SMEs don’t just get the software — they get guidance to fully maximise its potential.](https://i0.wp.com/www.exabytes.my/blog/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/5273896e-9703-42cd-8d04-7e9ab092839a.png?resize=218%2C150&ssl=1)
