Alphabet Inc’s Google is escalating its battle with Microsoft Corp for corporate customers, adding two new products designed to keep businesses online if Microsoft 365 productivity software goes out of service.

Google Workspace, Google’s suite of cloud-based tools, is rolling out two new services to help businesses that currently use Microsoft products. One will automatically sync email and files so that employees can switch to Gmail and Drive during a Microsoft outage. The other, a full migration package, bundles Google tools with the company’s partners – such as identity-management firms Okta and JumpCloud – to help enterprises leave Microsoft’s ecosystem entirely.
