Preparing Potential Restrictions on Google Services by Lukashists?

Beltelekom, the Belarusian telecom provider, has launched a new service aimed at corporate clients: "Cloud Office". This service offers a set of office tools, data storage, and communication features in one virtual space, competing with similar services from Google and Microsoft.

The service includes a calendar, a separate email client, and a messenger with audio, video call, and chat support. Clients can collaboratively edit Word, WPS, Excel, and PowerPoint documents through "Cloud Office". However, it does not specify the specific state-owned enterprise managing the documents.

One unique aspect of "Cloud Office" is that a state-owned enterprise manages all corporate documents, which could provide added security and data residency for local businesses. The service is marketed by Beltelekom.

For more information about "Cloud Office", you can refer to the report by EuroRadio. Further details can be found on Charter97.org, which can be followed on various social media platforms, including Facebook, YouTube, X.com, VKontakte, OK.ru, Instagram, RSS, and Telegram.

It's worth noting that "Cloud Office" shares similarities with Google Workspace and Microsoft Office 365, both of which provide cloud-based office productivity tools including email, document creation/editing, file storage, and collaboration features. They enable real-time collaboration and access from multiple devices (PC, mobile, web).

However, there are some key differences between these services. Beltelekom Cloud Office is a regional cloud office suite tailored for local businesses, with possible regional data residency and local support as key features. Google Workspace, on the other hand, is a widely used cloud productivity suite that includes Gmail, Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Meet, and more, with strong real-time collaboration and integration with Google services. Microsoft Office 365 offers cloud versions of classic Office apps (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook) along with Teams, OneDrive, SharePoint, and enterprise-grade security and compliance features.

The specific details about Beltelekom's Cloud Office, such as pricing and plans, were not found in the current search. However, it's reasonable to expect regional pricing possibly being lower due to its local focus. For a deeper comparison focusing strictly on Google Workspace and Microsoft 365, or for more specific details on Beltelekom Cloud Office, further research may be necessary.
