Running a mix of Office 365 and Google G Suite

[PrimaryTech]

Hi there,

 

One of the schools I work at currently have Office365 email and OneDrive cloud storage and all staff are happy using both products. They have also been using Microsoft's Public-Facing Sharepoint website as their main website. Microsoft is currently closing Public-Facing Websites (though we've clicked the option to postpone until March 2018) and I'm looking at a new website provider. I've contacted various school-focused providers but I am also looking into using the Sites portion of Google's G Suite.

 

Is anyone else running both Office 365 and G Suite / Google Sites side-by-side? I'd initially be looking to just set up the website on G Suite but can I do that and use my school.LA.sch.uk domain when the same domain is used by Office 365 for our mail?

 

Thanks in advance.

Yeh, you only need to update the A record to point to the GSuite site. Nothing else will be affected.

We are using both side by side, but only G Suite to allow students to logon to our Chrome books. Your able to turn off and on the specific features you require, so a public facing website is possible.

We are using both as staff preferred google classroom to O365 tools. Used GADS and GAPS for the password and group sync and we disabled gmail in G Suite most emails go direct to O365

Got both here too, O365 has the MX record and Google is being used for Drive / Classroom / Chromebooks
