Best Practices to Migrate from G Suite to Office 365

[James Stuart]

A successful migration requires careful preparation and execution. Before starting the migration, inventory all Gmail accounts, Google Drive files, and Google Calendar events. Organize and clean up unnecessary data to reduce migration time and potential errors. When you migrate from G Suite to Office 365, focus on tools like the Google Workspace Migration Tool provided by Microsoft, which can help streamline email and calendar transfers.

Testing is also an essential step in the process. Run test migrations for small groups to ensure data transfers successfully and identify any potential issues. Finally, make sure your users are well-trained in Office 365 apps like Outlook, Teams, and OneDrive to maximize productivity post-migration. Clear communication and preparation are key to a successful transition.
