We review your current setup and build a migration roadmap, including licenses, user mapping, and timeline.
We securely migrate Gmail, Drive, Contacts, and Calendar data to Microsoft 365 — using Microsoft’s native tools and proven processes.
We configure your Microsoft tenant, domains, user permissions, security policies, backups, and collaboration tools.
We update DNS records, launch your team on Microsoft 365, and provide training + post-migration support to make the switch stick.
Choose a plan (Business Standard is great for most). Set up your tenant in the Microsoft 365 admin center. Verify your domain ownership by updating DNS (TXT record).
Enable IMAP and unlock user accounts for migration in Google Admin. Generate app-specific passwords for each user (or use OAuth if available). Create a CSV with each user’s email and credentials.
Add users manually or import them via CSV. Assign licenses (make sure OneDrive and Exchange Online are enabled). Set temporary passwords and communicate login info.
Use Microsoft’s Exchange Admin Center > Migration feature. Choose “IMAP migration” and upload your CSV file.Run a test batch to ensure mail is flowing. Migrate users in waves (e.g., 5-10 at a time) to manage bandwidth.
Option 1: Use Microsoft Migration Manager: Connect Google Drive API. Map users and file permissions. Option 2: Manually download via Google Takeout. Upload to OneDrive or SharePointReset sharing permissions post-upload.
Export from Google Calendar as .ics. Import into Outlook Calendar via “Open Calendar > From File”. Export Google Contacts as .csv and import into Outlook People.
Switch MX, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records to Microsoft. All new emails now flow into Outlook. Train users on Teams, OneDrive, and Office apps.
Decommission old Google accounts after 30 days. Remove any duplicate files. Monitor mail flow and storage usage for each user.
