To Migrate Google Workspace to Office 365 involves several steps to ensure a smooth transition. Here’s a concise guide:
- Preparation: Assess your Google Workspace setup, including users, data volume, and tools. Choose a migration method (IMAP, GWMME, or third-party tools) based on your needs. Set up Office 365 by creating user accounts and verifying your domain.
- Prepare Google Workspace: Enable IMAP for email migration and API access for advanced migrations. Ensure you have admin access to Google Workspace.
- Migrate Emails: Use IMAP migration for simple transfers or GWMME for a full migration of emails, contacts, and calendars. Third-party tools like BitTitan can automate the process.
- Migrate Contacts and Calendars: Use GWMME or export Google contacts and calendars manually for import into Office 365. Ensure events and contacts are correctly transferred.
- Migrate Files: Move Google Drive files to OneDrive or SharePoint using manual upload or tools like CloudM. Convert Google Docs to Office formats if needed.
- Verify Migration: Test email, contacts, calendars, and files to ensure a successful transfer. Check if users can access their Office 365 accounts properly.
- Decommission Google Workspace: Once migration is complete, update DNS settings for email routing and cancel Google Workspace subscriptions.
- Post-Migration: Provide training on Office 365 tools and offer ongoing support for users. Monitor the system for any issues.
