After careful evaluation, your team has decided to make the move to Google Workspace (formerly G Suite). Great choice! Now, the next step is to migrate your data so your team can get up and running in the new environment. In the meantime, you may want to learn why organizations select HiView over other Google Workspace Partners. On the other hand, if you’re an existing Google Workspace customer looking to consolidate multiple Google Workspace tenants, learn about a Google-to-Google data Migration.
We’ll handle it all.
So, whether you’re moving from an on-premise server, Microsoft 365, Dropbox, Box, GoDaddy, or another email, storage, or collaboration tool, we can help. To begin, we’ll work with you to determine which Workspace edition best fits your needs. After that, and based on what we find, we’ll build a plan to transform how your team collaborates. Ultimately, the goal is a smooth, well-supported transition — however you’re getting there.

Our Migration Process.
1. Determine the tools needed for the migration project
After discussing your project needs, our Engineers will determine the ideal tools to use for your migration. Depending on the situation, we may use CloudM Hosted, Google Apps Manager (GAM), VM, IMAPSync, or other migration tools to complete your migration. In the end, our choice of tool will largely depend on the amount of data to be migrated.
2. Evaluate the amount of time and resources required
At this stage, our Engineers work with our Sales team to create a contract, establishing the scope of work, costs, and the migration timeline. Depending on your company’s size and needs, Change Management efforts and/or Google Workspace Training may be recommended.
3. Document and communicate any watchpoints to the end users
For any major workplace change, communicating early and often is essential. That's why our experts know what end users should expect before, during, and after the migration, and will keep them informed at every step.
4. Migrate and preserve all user data
- Gmail migration: All Gmail data can be migrated for each user, merging them into an account with a new address, or preserving the former address.
- Drive migration: All Drive structures, including Shared Drives, are recreated. Sharing permissions are preserved.
- Calendar migration: We migrate all Google Calendar events to the destination account.
- Contacts migration: All Google Contacts are migrated, allowing the autofill feature in Gmail to work as it does in the legacy account.
