Deployment & Validation

Migrating from Microsoft 365 to Google Workspace has never been easier.

At MSAdvance, we specialize in Microsoft 365 to Google Workspace migration with minimal disruption.
We move email and calendars (Exchange to Gmail/Calendar), personal files (OneDrive to Google Drive) and site/team content (SharePoint and Teams files to Shared Drives), preserving permissions and metadata where supported, with coexistence throughout the transition.

  • Workloads: email, calendars and contacts; OneDrive; SharePoint and Teams files; groups and sharing settings.
  • Identities: user and group mapping (aliases, UPN/primary email, roles) from Microsoft Entra ID to Google Workspace.
  • DNS & deliverability: domain verification, MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC and split/dual delivery routing.
  • Coexistence: Calendar Interop (free/busy) between Microsoft 365 and Google.
  • Pre-seeding and delta passes with a cutover scheduled outside business hours to minimize disruption.
  • End-to-end monitoring and validation, post-cutover support and GDPR compliance.

150+ migrations from Microsoft 365 to Google Workspace and 25+ certifications back us up.

Scope of a Microsoft 365 to Google Workspace Migration

At MSAdvance, we run Microsoft 365 to Google Workspace migrations end to end: we move email and calendars, personal and team files, and identities and domains, preserving permissions and metadata where supported. When needed, we maintain service continuity with temporary coexistence (split/dual delivery and Calendar Interop) while migrating Exchange Online to Gmail and OneDrive/SharePoint to Google Drive / Shared Drives.

Ideal for replatforming, cost reduction, workplace modernization, tool consolidation, or carve-outs.

At MSAdvance, every Microsoft 365 to Google Workspace migration project includes a tailored plan, pilot testing, and temporary coexistence support to minimize disruption—ensuring your Google Workspace environment—Gmail, Google Drive/Shared Drives, and Google Calendar—is ready to drive productivity, collaboration, and security from day one.

Assessment & Analysis

Key first phase for a Microsoft 365 to Google Workspace migration and for replatforming, consolidation or domain change projects. We validate the real scope, technical feasibility and the work plan for scenarios such as migrating email and calendars from Exchange Online to Gmail/Calendar, migrating OneDrive to Google Drive, and migrating SharePoint and Teams files to Shared Drives, with coexistence during the transition.

  • Source environment discovery: inventory of users, mailboxes, domains and workloads (mail, files and collaboration), permissions and sharing, retention, applications and dependencies.
  • Technical feasibility: connectivity tests and transfer performance, controlled pilots, validation of authentication (OAuth/MFA/SSO) and permissions, platform limits, and identity/group mapping.
  • Risk & compliance: review of retention and eDiscovery, security and device policies, plus DNS checks (MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC) with mitigations and a communication plan.

Outcome: an assessment plan with validated scope, a batch-based timeline, a coexistence strategy (split/dual delivery and Calendar Interop), component-level estimates, and mitigated risks.

Architecture Planning & Design

Define the target architecture and strategy for a safe, orderly Microsoft 365 to Google Workspace migration, prioritizing service continuity, security, and adoption.

  • Target architecture: Google Workspace with organizational units (OUs), groups, and admin roles (RBAC); services Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive (My Drive and Shared Drives), Google Chat, and Google Meet; governance with Google Vault and the Security dashboard.
  • Migration strategy: pre-seeding and delta passes, coexistence (split/dual delivery and Calendar Interop), a defined cutover window, and a documented rollback plan with end-to-end validations.
  • Governance & security: Drive and Shared Drives sharing policies, DLP for Mail/Drive/Chat, MFA (2-Step Verification), context-aware access, Drive labels, and retention/eDiscovery in Google Vault.
  • Destination readiness: domain and license verification, user and group provisioning, OU assignment, configuration of MX, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC, mail routing rules, Drive policies, and enabling Calendar Interop.
  • Communication & adoption: comms plan, “Outlook to Gmail”, “OneDrive/SharePoint to Drive/Shared Drives”, and “Teams to Chat/Meet” guides, training sessions, and go-live support.

Outcome: a detailed batch timeline, identified dependencies, acceptance criteria by workload, and a DNS/coexistence checklist for a surprise-free cutover.

Implementation & Validation

Execution runs in parallel with day-to-day operations, with batch quality controls and end-to-end traceability.

  • Target provisioning: create accounts and groups in Google Workspace, organize by OUs, create Shared Drives, assign admin roles, and apply policies (retention, DLP, MFA, and sharing governance).
  • Pre-seeding and delta passes: initial replication and scheduled syncs up to the defined cutover window, maintaining coexistence for email (split/dual delivery) and Calendar Interop for free/busy.
  • Data migration:
    • Email, calendars, and contacts: from Exchange Online to Gmail and Google Calendar, with deliverability checks and calendar availability validation.
    • Files: from OneDrive and SharePoint to Google Drive and Shared Drives, preserving structure and permissions and maintaining metadata where supported; owner remapping and resolution of name/path conflicts.
    • Collaboration: Microsoft Teams team and channel content into Google Chat spaces and meetings in Google Calendar/Meet, with membership mapping and coordination with owners.
  • Cutover window: update DNS (MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC), perform end-to-end validation (mail, calendars, access and links), and provide hypercare support for users and IT.
  • Closure & audit: reconcile counts and permissions, review internal/external sharing, deliver final documentation, decommission the source securely, and provide recommendations to optimize security and data governance.

Outcome: services live on Google Workspace, business continuity, and documented quality controls after go-live.
