How It Works
How a Google Workspace Migration Works
We copy everything ahead of time and switch over at a planned moment, so no email is lost.
STEP 01
Plan
We inventory mailboxes, shared files, aliases, and DNS, and choose between Google's native migration tools and a third-party tool.
STEP 02
Set up
We verify your domain, create users and groups, apply security settings, and organize Shared Drives.
STEP 03
Migrate & cut over
Mail, calendars, contacts, and files are copied in the background, then MX records are switched and a final sync runs.
STEP 04
Decommission
We keep the old system available for a buffer period, verify nothing was missed, then shut it down and support your team.

Migration Details
Shared Files, MX Records, and Migration Tools
Email is usually the easy part. Shared files take more planning: folders shared between people need a home in Shared Drives, ownership has to move from individuals to the company, and links in documents should keep working. We map this out before anything moves.
We choose the right tool for the job (Google's built-in Data Migration service, Google Workspace Migrate, or a third-party tool for larger or more complex moves) and handle the DNS changes, including MX, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC, so Gmail is activated cleanly.
What we migrate
- Email, folders, and labels
- Calendars and shared calendars
- Contacts and groups
- Files into Drive and Shared Drives
- Personal Gmail data into business accounts
Switching Platforms
Google Workspace or Microsoft 365?
Both are strong choices. Google Workspace is simple, browser-first, and great for real-time collaboration. Microsoft 365 fits teams that live in desktop Word and Excel, need deeper device management, or use software that expects Outlook.
We support both and migrate in either direction, so our recommendation is based on how your team actually works. If you're unsure, we'll walk through the trade-offs with you.
Questions we'll ask
- Desktop Office apps or browser-based?
- Industry software that needs Outlook?
- Device management requirements?
- Compliance needs like HIPAA?
Security
Securing Your Google Workspace
We enforce 2-Step Verification, restrict external sharing, enable Gmail's advanced phishing and malware protections, and set up admin alerts for suspicious sign-ins. Context-aware access and endpoint management can limit which devices reach company data.
These settings support HIPAA and other compliance requirements when paired with Google's Business Associate Agreement. If an account is ever compromised, our hacked email response team can lock it down quickly.
Security settings we configure
- 2-Step Verification enforced
- External sharing rules
- Phishing and malware protections
- Suspicious sign-in alerts
- Device management and remote wipe

FAQ
Google Workspace Support: Frequently Asked Questions
What do Google Workspace managed services include?
Setup and migrations, user and group management, Gmail, Drive, Shared Drives, Calendar, and Meet support, security settings like 2-Step Verification, device management, backup, and help desk support for your staff.
How much does Google Workspace support cost?
Migrations and projects are $95 per hour and quoted up front. Ongoing management is included in managed IT plans starting at $300 per month. Google bills licenses separately per user.
Can you migrate us from Microsoft 365 to Google Workspace?
Yes. We migrate email, calendars, contacts, and files from Microsoft 365, Exchange, GoDaddy, or IMAP email into Google Workspace, and the reverse if you're moving to Microsoft 365.
Will we lose email when we switch to Google Workspace?
No. Mail is copied ahead of time, MX records are switched at a planned time, and a final sync picks up anything that arrived during the cutover.
How do you migrate shared files?
We map who shares what, create Shared Drives owned by the company, migrate the files, and set permissions so the right people keep access.
Which migration tool do you use?
It depends on the source and size. Google's Data Migration service works for many small moves, while Google Workspace Migrate or a third-party tool handles larger or more complex migrations.
How long does a Google Workspace migration take?
It depends on the number of users and how much mail and data you have. We give you a schedule up front, and most of the copying happens in the background while you keep working.
Can you move a personal Gmail account into Google Workspace?
Yes. We can transfer mail, contacts, and Drive files from personal Gmail into the user's business Workspace account.
Does Google back up Google Workspace data?
Google keeps the service running, and Vault helps with retention, but neither is a full backup. A third-party backup protects against accidental deletion, ransomware, and departing employees.
Is Google Workspace HIPAA compliant?
Google Workspace can support HIPAA compliance when it's configured correctly and Google's Business Associate Agreement is accepted. We set up the access, sharing, and auditing controls to support it.
Should we use Google Workspace or Microsoft 365?
Google Workspace suits browser-first teams that collaborate in real time. Microsoft 365 suits teams that rely on desktop Office apps or need deeper device management. We support both and can help you decide.
Which areas do you serve?
Google Workspace is supported remotely across Southern California, with onsite help in Los Angeles County, Orange County, the Inland Empire, and San Diego County.
