School Google storage is often overused, and their domains are over-licensed. That results in needlessly excessive Google domain costs.


One of the most prestigious universities in the world was there, too. They recovered 332 TB of Google storage space with GAT+. That allowed them to save big on their daily operations. 

With the new budgeting cycle approaching, K-12 schools need to review their current spending and set priorities for the next year.

  

GAT Labs audit enables administrators to localize unnecessary expenses and maximize EdTech investments. We offer a 3-stage plan to optimize Google spending and save many working hours of school IT teams:

 

Thousands of educational institutions worldwide have already trusted GAT Labs to deeply control their Google Workspace and Chromebooks, ensuring security and compliance.
