Why Migrations Fail Without Experts
Common migration challenges that cause project failures
Google Docs Formatting Breaks in Office
Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides don't convert perfectly to Microsoft Office formats. Complex formatting, embedded charts, and Apps Script macros break during conversion.
We fix it: We audit your critical files before migration, flag compatibility issues, and manually fix formatting for your most-used documents.
Gmail Labels Don't Map to Outlook Folders
Gmail's multi-label system doesn't translate cleanly to Outlook's single-folder structure. Users lose their email organization when labels aren't mapped correctly.
We fix it: We create a custom label-to-folder mapping for each user, converting labels to folders and categories so email organization is preserved.
Google Drive Sharing Permissions Lost
Shared Drives, external sharing links, and granular file permissions often break during migration. Teams lose access to critical documents.
We fix it: We map every sharing permission from Google Drive to OneDrive/SharePoint equivalents before migration, preserving internal and external access.
Calendar Events & Recurring Meetings Fail
Google Calendar recurring events, room bookings, and shared calendars don't always transfer correctly. Meeting links break and attendees lose invites.
We fix it: We migrate all calendar data including recurring patterns, room resources, and attendee lists. New Teams meeting links replace Google Meet links automatically.

Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 Migration FAQs
We use a combination of Microsoft's native migration tools and BitTitan MigrationWiz to transfer all Gmail data — emails, labels (converted to Outlook folders), calendar events, and contacts. The migration runs in the background with incremental sync, so users keep working in Gmail until the final DNS cutover. Most users experience zero downtime during business hours.
Yes. We migrate Google Drive personal files to OneDrive and Shared Drives to SharePoint document libraries. Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides are automatically converted to their Microsoft Office equivalents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint). We preserve folder structures, sharing permissions, and file version history. Files over 250GB per user require our Premium migration package.
Most Google Sheets formulas have direct Excel equivalents and convert automatically. However, Google Apps Script macros and some Google-specific functions (like GOOGLEFINANCE, IMPORTRANGE) need manual review. We audit your critical spreadsheets before migration, flag incompatible formulas, and help your team adapt any Google-specific scripts to Excel VBA or Power Automate.
Yes, Gmail labels are converted to Outlook folders during migration. Since Gmail allows one email to have multiple labels while Outlook uses a single-folder structure, emails with multiple labels are placed in the primary label folder with the others preserved as categories. We review your label structure before migration to ensure the most logical folder mapping.
Absolutely. Your domain and all email addresses remain exactly the same. We update your domain's MX records to point to Microsoft 365 instead of Google. Recipients won't notice any change — emails sent to your existing addresses arrive in the new Microsoft 365 mailboxes seamlessly.
For small organizations (1-25 users), migration typically completes in 3-5 business days. Mid-size (25-100 users) takes 1-2 weeks. Enterprise (100+ users) ranges from 2-6 weeks. The actual data transfer runs continuously in the background — the timeline includes planning, testing, user training, and DNS cutover scheduling.
Google Sites don't have a direct automated migration path to SharePoint. We manually recreate your Google Sites content in SharePoint Online, preserving the information architecture and embedded content. Simple informational sites typically take 1-2 days each. Complex sites with custom scripts or integrations require more planning.
Yes, we set up a coexistence period where both platforms run simultaneously. Users can access both Gmail and Outlook during the transition. Calendar free/busy information syncs between platforms so scheduling works across both systems. This coexistence period typically lasts 1-2 weeks, giving users time to adapt before we decommission Google Workspace.
Google Forms can be recreated in Microsoft Forms. Google Keep notes export to OneNote. Google Chat history exports to a downloadable archive. Google Vault data requires a separate eDiscovery export process. We provide a complete app-by-app migration checklist so nothing gets left behind. Some Google-only services (like Google Lens integration) don't have Microsoft equivalents.
Gmail-only migration starts at $15/user. Adding Google Drive to OneDrive migration is $25/user. Full migration including SharePoint, Teams setup, and PC configuration ranges from $40-65/user. There's a one-time $500 setup fee. Use our calculator above for an instant estimate, or contact us for a custom quote for 100+ users.
