GOOGLE WORKSPACE: YOUR GUIDED MIGRATION
1. Understanding Your Setup
Before we embark on the migration process, we dive deep into understanding your current email environment.
By gathering specific details such as your existing email plan and DNS hosting, we ensure the path to Google Workspace is tailored just for you.
For more insights into how we prepare, check out our Rackspace to Google Workspace migration requirements as reference.
2. Secure Advance Payment
Your project's success is paramount. With a 50% upfront payment, we mobilize our top-tier migration experts and deploy advanced tools custom-fit for your transition.
For seamless payment, we use Stripe, accepting all major credit cards.
3. Your Project, Our Organization
To ensure you always have a clear picture, we use an organized approach. Once we have all your details, we set them up in a Google Sheet – a tool that is both simple yet effective.
You can keep an eye on every step, and we make sure the sheet is always up-to-date, reflecting our progress.
4. Optimizing Google Workspace
Laying a robust foundation is key. We meticulously configure Google Workspace for you, adhering strictly to Google’s best practices.
From domain verification to user creation and top-tier security settings, everything is set to perfection.
5. Laying The Migration Groundwork
This is where our expertise shines. Establishing seamless connections between your existing email system and Google Workspace.
We ensure an error-free data transition. And if challenges arise, we're geared up to tackle them immediately.
6. Segmented Email Migration
Our approach to migrating emails is deliberately phased to ensure data integrity.
During the 'Base' migration, we transport older emails, excluding the most recent 30 days.
This careful segmentation prevents any recent changes in your original mailbox from causing discrepancies when shifted.
The more current emails are reserved for the 'Delta' phase, ensuring a comprehensive and consistent transition.
7. Final Payment as We Progress
Once we've crossed over the major milestones and have successfully completed around 75% of the migration, we'll request the final 50% payment.
This ensures we can continue giving our best resources to complete your transition.
8. Routing Your Emails
With most of your emails migrated, we adjust the DNS to point towards Google Workspace.
This means that in no time, all new emails will be directed to your new inbox on Google Workspace.
And if you're into technical terms, this is the magic of MX Routing!
9. Weekend Delta Drive
As the weekend sets in, our focus shifts to the 'Delta' phase, a crucial part of our migration strategy.
This is when we transfer the past month's emails to ensure no recent correspondence is left behind.
Additionally, we integrate your essential contacts and calendar events, making your Google Workspace feel like home from the get-go.
10. Your Seal of Approval
Once you're greeted with "Migration Completed", the stage is yours.
Review your inbox, verify the details. And while perfection is our mantra, should any issues arise, our expert team is ready to address them swiftly.
FAQs
Frequently asked questions about migrating to Google Workspace
We use premium migration utilities to migrate your data which means migrating at blazing fast speed.
For users with mailbox size of 5 GB or less, we usually migrate them fully within a weekend, so they see all data in their Google Workspace mailbox when they login on Monday morning.
For your email superman users with mailbox size of more than 5 GB, our smart migration utility migrates data from latest to oldest.
So when they login to their Google Workspace mailbox on Monday morning, they will have at least last couple of years of recent emails, rest of their emails will keep on migrating behind the scenes, so you are kinda all set (unless you are really lagging behind and want to reply to that 6 year old email:).

Thats not why you hired us, right?
Well, obviously there are some limitations where Gmail will reject to accept emails, think of cases where someone is trying to migrate an email with virus, or an email with an attachment larger than 50 MB (Gmail’s limit is 50 MB).
But other than these fair reasons, all your emails would go right into your Gmail just like cream cheese in a plain (toasted) bagel.
