Switching to Education A1?
Schools and universities migrating to Education A1 are often coming from Google Workspace for Education. Our Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 migration for education covers student mailboxes, faculty email, Google Classroom data, and shared drives. We schedule these moves during semester breaks to minimize disruption to teaching operations.
Institutions running legacy on-premises Exchange or Zimbra can take advantage of our email server migration to Microsoft 365 service, which supports hybrid coexistence so faculty can migrate in phases while students move in bulk. Use our migration cost calculator to estimate the project scope for your institution.
