Migrate Gmail to Exchange Online
When switching from Google Workspace, one of the things you must do is migrate Gmail to Exchange Online. The email client within Microsoft 365 is Outlook which shares many of the same features as Gmail but is more customizable.
Our professionals can help migrate your Gmail to Exchange Online, including your contacts and calendar. We can also help configure Outlook within your Microsoft 365 environment and ensure that it is seamlessly integrated with other tools in Microsoft office.
Migrate Google Drive to OneDrive
Google Drive and OneDrive are both cloud-based storage solutions that offer security, file sharing, and real-time collaboration. While both have their advantages and disadvantages when compared to each other, OneDrive in Microsoft 365 is a little more secure and makes it easier to sync files. If you choose to migrate from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365, you can also migrate your data to OneDrive.
Our professionals at PSM can help you set up OneDrive within your Microsoft 365 environment and migrate your data to OneDrive. We can help ensure a secure and seamless migration and configure OneDrive to meet your storage and security needs.
FAQ
Microsoft 365 migration is the migration of data such as files, folders, email, contacts, groups, and users from another platform into Microsoft 365. The migration of data to Microsoft 365 is typically done in batches and can be automated using certain tools. You can also work with a cloud migration service provider to help with the migration.
Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 have a lot of similarities, but they are different in a few key ways. The choice of whether to switch from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 largely depends on the needs of your business and which of these platforms can better accommodate those needs. Some of the advantages of Microsoft 365 may be more beneficial for your business.
The following are some of the benefits of switching to Microsoft 365:
- Familiarity: Many people have spent more time using Microsoft products such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint and already have a familiarity with the tools in Microsoft 365. This makes for an easy transition with little need for training. These apps are also well integrated with each other.
- Flexible productivity: Users can access Microsoft apps anywhere and easily share, connect, and collaborate over Teams. Many Microsoft apps can also be accessed offline.
- Scalability: Microsoft 365 offers seamless scalability which is especially important for growing businesses.
- Security: Microsoft takes security and compliance seriously and invests heavily in keeping their products secure. Microsoft 365 comes with security protection that is more advanced than that of Google Workspace.
- Cost-effective: Microsoft 365 offers flexibility in its pricing as they offer options to suit the specific needs of businesses as opposed to simple pricing models. It is possible to start with Microsoft 365 at a lower cost and get one terabyte of storage.
The amount of time it takes to migrate from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 depends on how much data needs to be migrated. It is usually best to migrate data in batches that can be scheduled and automated to be transferred over a period of several days. You also must consider limits from Microsoft, such as the 10GB limit per mailbox per day. So, depending on the amount of data that needs to be migrated and how you plan to schedule the migration of the batches of data, it can take several days or weeks to complete the migration.
