EMAIL & COLLABORATION MIGRATION
Move from Microsoft 365 or Exchange to Google Workspace.
Global Axsys helps businesses assess Microsoft 365, Exchange Online, Exchange Server and hybrid environments, then plan the move to Google Workspace across supported mail, calendar, contact and file workloads.
Dubai • UAE
Select a workload to explore its mapping.
Assess the source version, mailbox access, supported data and routing.
* SharePoint sites, lists, workflows and complex permissions need separate assessment; Shared Drives are not a one-to-one replacement.
Migration scope and mapping depend on the source environment, permissions, data types, sharing configuration and target Google Workspace architecture. Global Axsys assesses the environment before finalizing the migration approach.
PLAN AROUND YOUR ENVIRONMENT
Choose the right migration approach
Select an approach to explore the route. Staged synchronization and cutover planning are agreed after a pilot.
THE ROUTE · DIRECT
Direct cloud-to-cloud migration is an option where the source, destination and selected tooling support the required workloads. Exchange Server projects also depend on source accessibility and configuration.
- Less manual handling
- Staged synchronization where supported
- Reduced disruption and controlled cutover
- Suitable for many standard environments
THE ROUTE · BACKUP-ASSISTED
For environments needing additional protection, archival assurance or a staged transition, a backup may be taken before migration.
- Additional data-protection layer
- Recovery reference and validation
- An option for sensitive or complex environments
The agreed scope determines supported workloads, tooling and cutover steps. No migration approach guarantees zero downtime.
A CONTROLLED TRANSITION
From discovery to a supported workspace
Open each stage to see what is assessed, prepared and verified.
01Discover
Inventory users, domains, aliases, groups, mailbox sizes, storage, shared data and connected applications.
02Assess
Assess Exchange versions, hybrid dependencies, calendars, contacts, OneDrive, SharePoint structures and permissions.
03Protect
Determine backup and archive requirements, recovery strategy and rollback considerations.
04Prepare
Prepare Workspace licensing, domain verification, users, Gmail routing, Drive, Shared Drives and security.
05Pilot
Migrate selected users and validate mail, calendars, contacts, files and permissions before expanding.
06Migrate
Execute the approved direct or backup-assisted migration plan, including staged waves where appropriate.
07Cutover
Coordinate DNS, MX, mail routing, final synchronization and the user transition where applicable.
08Validate & Support
Verify Gmail delivery, calendars, file access, permissions, devices, mobile access and the user experience.
DESIGNED FOR RECOVERY
Migration is not the same as backup.
Migration moves data. Backup provides a separate recovery and data-protection layer. We assess retention, native recovery options and independent backup requirements with you.

MIGRATION → TARGET
A pre-migration backup is an option, not a requirement for every project. Restore feasibility, retention and rollback considerations are agreed during assessment.

FIND YOUR FIT
Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace?
Start with how your people work, your applications and your governance requirements. The right choice depends on your environment.
| Capability | Microsoft 365 | Google Workspace |
|---|---|---|
| Exchange Online | Gmail | |
| Files | OneDrive | Google Drive |
| Shared content | SharePoint | Shared Drives |
| Meetings | Teams | Google Meet |
| Calendar | Outlook Calendar | Google Calendar |
| Productivity | Microsoft Apps | Google Apps |
| Administration | Microsoft Admin | Google Admin |
Product names describe the ecosystem; availability and capabilities depend on the selected plan. These are not one-to-one migration guarantees.
