Providing Google Workspace to Office 365 migration for small and medium-sized businesses

Google Workspace can be an excellent solution for businesses just starting out or for those with considerable experience with the software or those that have essential external software they don't want to part with. We prefer Office 365 because it includes almost everything, it's easy to use and is arguably the leading standard in secure productivity software.

We provide the tools and expertise to smoothly migrate from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365, whilst our data protection services keep your sensitive information secure throughout the process. Our staff are highly-skilled with migration processes and with both Google Workspace and Office 365, meaning you'll be in safe hands throughout and your environment will be setup for your success as soon as you start working with your new software.

Why migrate from Google Workspace to Office 365?

One service, one subscription

Office 365 is an incredibly comprehensive subscription. With some of our clients that were originally using Google Workspace, we found they were using a combination of different services, for example Google Workspace for file sharing and emails, Office 365 for Word and Excel, Slack for messaging and Zoom for video calls. With an Office 365 subscription, you can get all of the above and more under one service with software that integrates with one another, saving you time and money and refining your infrastructure.

 

AI capabilities

For companies interested in AI, Microsoft Copilot is an excellent business option under the Microsoft 365 umbrella. It seamlessly integrates with all Office 365 software to enrich your experience, including meeting recaps and note summaries in Teams, planning and drafting capabilities in Word, formulae and formatting assistance in Excel, a capable AI chat accessible online or on desktop, and much more. Having most of your day-to-day programs in the Office 365 environment really brings out the strengths of Copilot.

 

Underused apps

Office 365 has a lot of underused apps that come included in many licence subscriptions. These apps can often be used in place of extra licences outside of the 365 environment that can incur considerable extra costs. For example, such apps include Forms, allowing you to easily create surveys or questionnaires that can be utilised in many processes; Power BI, which enables smart, data-based decisions based on analysis and reports; Planner, which brings together all your tasks and projects in a simple to use program; and many more, including M365 certified apps from external developers.

We have comprehensive templates, but not all the options may be appropriate to your needs. We'll explain the options so you can decide what is best for you.
 
Some clients prefer to reduce costs by doing some of the work themselves. Others want us to take care of all of it.

Continuous improvement

Migration isn't the end, it's the beginning of your new work environment.

Read more
Most people move to a new platform because the old one isn't fit for purpose and the new one is much more promising.
 
However, realising the full potential of that promise will still involve challenges.
 
Even if the migration is a one-off project for us, it's an important new beginning for you. All our planning considers setting you up for success. We can help with your future planning and how to make the most and build on your new investment.

Why choose The Final Step for your Google Workspace to Office 365 support?

Continuity

Your business relies on email, calendars, contacts, data and more...

Read more

Your business relies on email, contact information and appointments to keep working and supporting clients.

We'll migrate all of these and more in a timely manner to keep you working and avoid disruption.

Improve recovery

Ensure you have a backup before and after migration.

Read more
It's a common myth that data stored in the Cloud is automatically backed up - it isn't.
 
Most platforms make data your responsibility. It's sensible to take a backup before you migrate. But we strongly recommend you have an on-going backup of your Microsoft 365 platform.
 
We are experienced not just in a backup for Microsoft 365 but in the wider plan for business continuity and disaster recovery.

Enhance collaboration

Migrate and enhance your ability to communicate.

Read more
Chats, online meetings, working on files simultaneously, sharing created files securely. We help ensure your communication and collaboration is faster, more flexible and more secure. 

Housekeeping

Review what to keep, what to archive, your data's structure and your users.

Read more
Migration is a good time for a bit of housekeeping.
 
Do you have the best filing structure for your data? Could you have an archive and production areas? Do people see only data they need to see? Are inboxes and calendars appropriately shared? Have you reviewed what licences are most cost-effective?

Security and compliance

Strengthen governance and compliance as you migrate. Security must be a default consideration.

Read more
Enhance your ability to protect your users and their identities; improve permissions and logins; redesign your data structures.
 
Migration is a great opportunity to improve your organisation's governance, security and compliance.

Tailored to you

Migrations may be 90% routine, but it's the 10% tailored to you that is most impactful.

Read more
Most migrations are springboards to new ways of working, not just a new platform.
 
Working with a skilled partner, experienced in making the most of such platforms is the best way to set your right foundations and build on them.
 
Many of our recent migrations have included an on-premise element. This is because design and property companies often have large files that are most quickly accessed via local storage.
 
Make sure your migration embeds the most valuable changes and develops your productivity, competitiveness and data security.
