During deployment, what common issue should be monitored closely?

Monitoring network bandwidth performance closely during deployment is crucial because a successful implementation of Google Workspace relies heavily on consistent and reliable internet connectivity. If network bandwidth is insufficient or experiences congestion, it can lead to slow application performance or disruptions in service, negatively impacting user experience and productivity. High bandwidth usage can also affect data transfer speed when migrating files or synchronizing large data sets to the cloud.

While user engagement during training sessions is important for ensuring that users understand the new tools, it is not as critical as the actual performance of the network infrastructure during the deployment phase. Similarly, device operating system compatibility plays a role in ensuring users have access to the necessary applications; however, if the underlying network infrastructure isn't robust, even compatible devices may struggle to perform optimally. Monitoring uptime of legacy systems only does not provide a holistic view of the deployment's health, as many factors need to be considered, with network performance being central to the success of the new cloud-based environment.
