By the time announcements like this are made, there have already been lengthy successful IT pilots with much change management planning already conducted, partners engaged, etc. If they say 12-18mo, they may slip to 18-24mo, but definitely

You're wrong, and you're conflating two unlike things. 1) If you are a consumer user taking advantage of free things, information about you has value to the provider. In this case, it has value to Google as an adtech company. Bu

I can say with certainty that Google does not treat paying G Suite customer data the same as consumers'. It is not mined, it is not targeted, and it is not used in any way for advertising purposes. I can say this as a former G Suite b
