Which set of tools should you use? You might already have an older office suite and are wondering if you should upgrade to Office 365-or if the G Suite tools in your Gmail account are enough.

Microsoft Office 365, Google G Suite, Zoho Workplace, Apple iWork, Quip, and LibreOffice are the biggest office suite players today.

You can synchronize data from your school information management system to Classroom and Google Workspace for Education using Google School Directory Sync (SDS). Instead, use the Student Information System (SIS) roster import. After July 1, 2022, we no longer support School Directory Sync (SDS).
