Outlook AssistantServer SyncExchange AssistantSkyKick can easily and automatically transfer Google Mail to Office 365. We’ll help you seamlessly sync your Google calendar, labels, and contacts and perform a migration to Office 365 faster and with less risk. SkyKick Server Sync is optimized to reduce the impact of Google data transfer limits. SkyKick technology also helps you provide the best transition from Google’s email label organizational structure by giving you the option to map the migrating mail to either folders or categories in Outlook, whichever is best for your customer.
For more information, see Google to Office 365 Migration and Planning and Managing Google Migration.
The best way to get started is to visit the Getting Started page in the SkyKick help center. There you can get detailed information on Migration Pre-Sales Scoping and Planning, Migration Planning and Configuration, Migration Monitoring and Management, along with a Pre-Migration Prep Guide and Migration Getting Started Guide.
SkyKick migrates server-side data, including email, calendars, tasks, contacts, shared mailboxes. SkyKick technology also helps you provide the best transition from Google’s email label organizational structure by giving you the option to map the migrating mail to either folders or categories in Outlook, whichever is best for your customer.
SkyKick also migrates local client-side data, including auto-complete and email signature blocks.
As a 100% to-partner company, we built the SkyKick Migration Suites to provide IT partners with an automated migration tool to accelerate their cloud business with comprehensive planning, accurate provisioning, no lost data, and a great end-user experience. Unlike other Office 365 migration tools that focus primarily on moving server-side data—one step in a comprehensive migration-consulting project—SkyKick technology automates up to 90% of the manual effort and helps partners manage all of the essential steps across the entire migration project.
SkyKick migration technology automatically processes data at the nearest regional Microsoft Azure data center in the country where the Office 365 tenant specified in the Migration Planner is located. All email content remains in the region during a migration. This includes compute, path of information from source to destination, and storage of metadata/state files. This information is transferred directly from source server to Office 365. At no time are data written to disk, stored, or taken possession of by SkyKick. For more information see Migration Security.
Because no two migrations are identical, it is difficult to predict precisely how long it will take to migrate email from Google to Office 365. This is due to a variety of factors, including Google data transfer limits, migration method, data type and density, network performance, end-user engagement, and throttling, that can extend the duration required to complete the migration. However, SkyKick makes it easy to schedule and adjust a migration date, scope, and requirements, depending on the desired timeline. If you are an IT partner with a specific migration project, contact support@skykick.com for more information on the timeline.
Instead of using Folders for email organization, Google uses Labels, which are similar to Outlook Categories. Because many end users may prefer this organizational strategy, SkyKick technology gives you and your customer the choice of either mapping the migrating email to Folders or Categories in Office 365. This choice must be made on the Final Review tab of the Migration Planner, prior to placing the order. For more information, see Handling Google Labels.
Directory synchronization is not required for Office 365 or SkyKick Migrations. However, if the company being migrated wants to implement directory synchronization, SkyKick technology can still be used. For more information, see Configuring Active Directory Synchronization for an Office 365 Migration.
SkyKick conforms to all the HIPAA requirements of a Business Associate. It can therefore sign and fulfill the elements contained in its Business Associate Agreement (BAA) (once completed and signed by a covered entity performing the migration). The BAA contains the elements specified at 45 CFR 164.504€, including:
A description of the permitted and required uses of protected health information by SkyKick.
The provision that SkyKick will not use or further disclose the protected health information other than as permitted or required by the contract or as required by law
Requirements to use appropriate safeguards to prevent a use or disclosure of the protected health information other than as provided for by the contract.
For more information, see HIPAA Compliant Migrations.
