Migration
Google Workspace to Microsoft 365
Gmail, Drive, calendars and contacts into Microsoft 365, with people's folders and labels carried across sensibly and anything that cannot be matched exactly listed for you to decide.
The situation
A decision has been made to standardise on Microsoft, and years of mail and documents have to come with it.
Who it is for
Organisations moving their people from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365.
What people worry about
Google and Microsoft organise things differently, so a few things have no exact equivalent. The worry is being surprised later. We show you where the differences are before the move, make the sensible choice by default, and list every exception in the report.
What you get
Included in the engagement
- Accounts created and licensed in Microsoft 365 for everyone moving
- Gmail, with labels turned into folders and categories
- Each person's Google Drive files, in their own OneDrive
- Google Docs, Sheets and Slides converted to Word, Excel and PowerPoint
- Calendars and contacts
What it means
How it runs
What happens, in order
-
01
Connect
A Google Workspace admin gives us read-only access, in minutes. We can look, but we cannot change anything in Google.
-
02
Review
You see who and what is there, and decide who gets a Microsoft 365 account and licence.
-
03
Copy
Mail, files, calendars and contacts are copied in the background while people keep working.
-
04
Check
Everything is confirmed on the Microsoft side, and the report lists what needs a decision.
-
05
Switch
On a date you choose, mail is pointed at Microsoft 365 and people start using their new accounts.
- Google Shared Drives and Google groups are not moved automatically today. We identify them up front and plan them with you.
