What is the Migration Process?
Our migration process is designed to ensure the seamless transfer of your data, accounts, and services from Google Workspace to Office 365. Here’s what you can expect:
Step 1: Initial Assessment
We begin by assessing your Google Workspace setup, including your G Suite Admin Console, Gmail accounts, and user data. We’ll review your domain registrar or DNS provider (e.g., GoDaddy, 123Reg) to verify access for setting up MX records and TXT records for mail routing.
Step 2: Planning and Preparation
The next step involves creating a custom migration project plan. We’ll review your mailbox data, calendars, contacts, and any associated files to determine how to migrate them securely and efficiently. At this stage, we’ll discuss app password requirements, temporary account access, and any potential disruptions.
Step 3: Data Migration and Configuration
Once the plan is in place, we’ll initiate the data migration process. This includes migrating Gmail mailboxes, Google Drive files, and Google Calendar data. Our migration tools handle the bulk of the transfer, automating tasks like importing CSV files of user details, migrating folders, and uploading data to Office 365.
We’ll also configure your Office 365 setup, including Exchange Online, user accounts, and any sub domains you may need for custom domains. Key steps include:
-
Setting up mailboxes and verifying accounts in the Microsoft 365 Admin Center.
-
Configuring mail routing to point emails to the new system.
-
Updating DNS settings, such as MX and TXT records, for your custom domain.
Step 4: Testing and Switchover
Once the data migration is complete, we’ll thoroughly test the new system. This includes checking email functionality, calendar notifications, and app password access. When everything is verified, we’ll set a switchover date to ensure the smooth transition of active users to Office 365.
Step 5: Post-Migration Support
After the migration is complete, we remain on hand to address any concerns or questions. Whether it’s troubleshooting login or connection issues, assisting with setup, or managing user accounts, Zenzero provides ongoing support to ensure your team can hit the ground running.
