Microsoft 365 To Google Workspace Post Migration Checklist

Migrating from Microsoft 365 to Google Workspace is a major transition undertaken by enterprises after careful deliberation and discussion. A Microsoft 365 to Google Workspace post-migration checklist helps you ensure data accuracy on the new platform.

Businesses can ensure full replication by having a well-structured post-migration checklist. In this blog post, we have provided insights into post-migration validation for Google Workspace.

Key Takeaways:

  • A Microsoft 365 to Google Workspace post-migration checklist helps you ensure a smooth transition.
  • Validate your data and metadata during post-migration to ensure accuracy.
  • Verify the validity of your delta migration during post-migration.

1. Verify the Migrated Data from Source Cloud

It is essential to verify your migrated Microsoft data after transferring to the new Google Workspace environment. Discuss your teams and confirm that the data migrated to Google Workspace matches the data in Microsoft 365 platform.

  • Validating inbox, sent items, and draft items
  • Validating deleted emails, timestamps, attachments, and calendars
  • Ensuring complete replication of OneDrive/SharePoint data in the new environment

2. Verify Replication of Necessary File Features

Along with verifying Microsoft 365 data, check whether all file features are functioning correctly in the Google Workspace environment. Check whether all your intended file features are available in Google Workspace. File features include:

  • Root folder permissions
  • Sub-folder permissions
  • Root file permissions
  • Inner file permissions
  • Shared Links
  • External Shares
  • Embedded links
  • Versions
  • Timestamps

With CloudFuze Migrate, businesses can seamlessly transfer files from Microsoft 365 to Google Workspace while preserving essential metadata.

3. Run Delta Migration

Often, teams keep working on their Microsoft 365 platform during a one-time migration. So, it is necessary to move all these incremental changes. Only then can your teams access the data they worked on post-migration.

Businesses should not skip post-migration validation for delta migration. One of CloudFuze Migrate’s notable features is delta migration, which lets you migrate incremental changes by comparing modified timestamps.

4. Deactivate Your Source Cloud After Full Transition

Deactivate your source account once you confirm a successful transition to Google Workspace. By doing so, you can reduce additional costs. Always deactivate only when there is no further synchronization with the source.

If your enterprise does not want to leave the Microsoft 365 platform entirely, archive your necessary data. Work with the post-migration support team from your migration vendor to navigate through technical challenges.

5. Onboard End-Users to the Google Workspace Environment

After switching from Microsoft 365 to Google Workspace, the most essential item on the checklist is successfully onboarding employees to the new Google Workspace environment. Have a proper setup in place and communicate with your teams to have a successful onboarding.
