Google Workspace to Google Workspace Migration Requirements
Embarking on the journey of migrating from your current Google Workspace to a new one?
Let's ensure your transition is a masterpiece.
By furnishing us with these essential elements, you pave the way for a harmonious shift that maximizes efficiency and productivity. Dive into the prerequisites that shape your migration success.
1. Google Workspace Super Admin Credentials (Source)
The foundation of a successful migration starts with your Google Workspace super administrator credentials. These credentials enable our migration system to seamlessly access data from your users' accounts through the process of impersonation.
To ensure security and convenience, we recommend the creation of a dedicated super admin account specifically for our use. Sharing these dedicated credentials safeguards your existing admin details.
Our step-by-step documentation provides clear guidance on creating a user account and assigning it the super admin role.

2. Google Workspace Super Admin Credentials (Destination)
We'll also require the super admin credentials of your destination Google Workspace account. These credentials empower our migration system to systematically ingest data into your destination Google Workspace user accounts through impersonation.
To uphold security and ensure convenience, we strongly recommend creating a dedicated super admin account exclusively for our use. This dedicated approach safeguards your existing admin details.
Our comprehensive step-by-step documentation offers clear instructions on creating a user account and assigning it the crucial super admin role.

3. Advance Payment
To facilitate a smooth and efficient migration process, we kindly request an advance payment of 50% of the total migration cost.
This requirement, as previously communicated via email, is a strategic measure that demonstrates our commitment to delivering exceptional service.
By securing this initial investment, we can allocate dedicated resources, expertise, and time to ensure the success of your migration.
This approach not only aligns our interests but also ensures a high level of focus and effort from our team, empowering us to deliver a seamless transition to your new Google Workspace environment.
4. DNS Credentials (Optional)
To ensure a successful migration, we kindly request your DNS credentials to implement the necessary changes. These adjustments may encompass domain verification with Google, configuration of MX, SPF, and DKIM records, among others.
Depending on your DNS provider, you also have the option to delegate your DNS management to us. If your DNS is with GoDaddy, we have comprehensive instructions on how to facilitate this delegation seamlessly (Delegate Godaddy DNS to Googally).
Alternatively, if you are comfortable managing DNS changes on your own, we can provide you with detailed documentation.
However, please bear in mind that if you opt for this route, it's important to have a team member available during weekends to collaborate with us effectively.
This ensures that any potential issues are promptly addressed and the migration progresses smoothly.
5. Business Logo (Optional)
Google Workspace applications, such as Gmail and Google Drive, typically display Google's logo as the default icon.
However, we offer the option to enhance your branding by incorporating your own logo within Google Workspace.
This customization ensures a more personalized experience for you and your team, as your logo will be prominently displayed across the workspace apps upon completion of this step.
Should you not currently possess a logo or find yourself without one in the suitable format or size, there's no need for concern.
You can choose to undertake this task at a later time. Our comprehensive blog provides step-by-step instructions to guide you through the company logo setup process.
It's important to note that Google imposes specific requirements for business logos, including file type and size specifications.
Please provide us with your logo in accordance with the following specifications:
- File Format: PNG or GIF
- Maximum File Size: 30KB
- Maximum Dimensions: 320 x 132 pixels
When you're prepared to initiate the migration, simply reach out to us, and we'll promptly share a Google Sheet. Through this sheet, you can conveniently furnish us with the required information.
