Google to Microsoft 365 Migration

SkyKick can easily and automatically transfer Google Mail to Microsoft 365. We’ll help you seamlessly sync your Google calendar, labels, and contacts and perform a migration to Microsoft 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. For more information, see Migrations Full Suite vNext Guide: Google to Microsoft 365.

The best way to get started with a Google to Microsoft 365 migration is to explore the Migrations Full Suite vNext Guide: Google to Microsoft 365.

SkyKick migrates server-side data, including email, calendars, tasks, and contacts. SkyKick technology also helps you provide the best transition from Google’s email label organizational structure.

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 Microsoft 365 migration tools that focus primarily on moving server-side data—one step in a comprehensive migration-consulting project— SkyKick technology automates manual effort across more facets of a migration project, including provisioning, migrating client-side data, and setting up Outlook profiles in Microsoft 365, to help partners manage all the essential steps across a migration project and deliver customers a seamless migration experience.

SkyKick migration technology automatically processes data at the nearest regional Microsoft Azure data center in the country where the Microsoft 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 the source server to Microsoft 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 Microsoft 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.

To optimize the experience for end users, vNext Migrations combines Exchange folders and Outlook categories to deliver a more consistent experience between Gmail and Microsoft 365 and ensure that users can easily find email that was organized using Google’s different structure. For more information, see Migrations vNext Google Label Mapping.

Directory synchronization is not required for Microsoft 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 Microsft 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.
