What we can migrate

Moving from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 is simple with the help of our migration experts. Here’s what we can help you migrate:

We’ll migrate your email accounts, including mailboxes, contacts, calendars, and distribution lists, from Google Workspace to Microsoft Exchange Online. To ensure smooth email delivery to Microsoft 365, we’ll configure the necessary settings for email routing, domain verification, and DNS changes.

We’ll migrate your existing files and documents stored in Google Drive or other Google Workspace storage solutions to Microsoft 365’s SharePoint Online or OneDrive for Business. Your folder structures, file permissions and metadata will be preserved during the migration process.

We’ll help migrate from Google’s Collaboration tools, including Meet and Chat, over to Microsoft Teams. We’ll set up and configure your Microsoft Teams channels, permission and any integrations you require to enable seamless collaboration.

Security is of paramount importance, so we’ll ensure that we migrate your user’s accounts, profiles and authentication mechanisms from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365’s Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) We’ll set up single sign on capabilities for simplified user authentication across your Microsoft 365 services, and configure your user access policies, security groups and role-based access controls in Entra ID.

We’ll assess and migrate any third-party services or applications that integrate with Google Workspace. Where there are applications that rely on Google APIs or services, we’ll provide recommendations for alternatives.

Types of Migrations

Cutover Migrations

Cutover migration refers to moving a single application or workload from one cloud environment to another. Cutover is where the migration implements at a single point in time on a specific day.


Staged Migrations

Staged migration refers to a migration approach where your business would move applications or workloads in stages to
new cloud environment.

1. Pre-Migration Phase

The pre-migration or planning phase consists of activities designed to ensure a smooth and seamless transition from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365.  

These activities include: 

  • Producing a scope and timeline with your organisation’s goals and requirements in mind
  • Analysing and taking inventory of your current Google Workspace environment, including user accounts and mailboxes, files and document, calendars, contacts, and other required data. 
  • Data mapping, cleansing and preparation. This is a good chance to review your data and make sure you’re not migrating across duplicate users or data that is no longer required.
  • Deciding whether a staged, cutover, or hybrid approach will best suit your organisation. 

2. Migration Phase

When we’re confident your data is fully cleansed and prepared, our migration experts will move across your emails, contacts, calendars, files, security permissions and other relevant data.

We’ll do this through either a staged migration (moving from Google Workspace to Microsoft in several stages) or a cutover migration (moving everything from one environment to another at a single point in time).

3. Post-Migration Phase

At the end of the migration, we’ll conduct a thorough review to ensure everything has been migrated successfully and that the new Microsoft environment is setup and running as expected.

We have a wide range of documentation to help your users understand the key features and functionalities of Microsoft 365, and we also offer training sessions and workshops to help your users get the most out of all Microsoft has to offer.

What’s included?

  • Thorough testing of migrated environment
  • Documentation provided to ensure smooth roll out to your employees
  • Additional training sessions/workshops available
