Google Workspace Business Starter (Gsuite) to Office 365 Migration Plan

General Notes

  • As of 2023-05-08 we are on Google Workspace Business Starter: Usage of 125 seats
    • We are on a flex plan that allows us to change licenses and cancel at any time without penalty
    • Starting 2023-05-15 we will be paying $7.20 per user per month
    • This plan includes 30GB of storage
  • Microsoft has a tool for data migration. I am not sure if it can be used for a company with fewer than 150 employees https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/fasttrack/data-migration
  • Office 365 - We have two main types of licenses F3 (online Office), and Apps for Business (desktop office). 
    • Microsoft F3 - $8 ($6.74 actual) / User / Month - Every employee in the company has this. 2GB Storage 
    • Apps for business - $8.25 ($6.99 actual) / User / Month - About half the company has this license. 1TB Storage (does not have teams or email) 2GB Exchange (email) storage.

Things to consider

  • Everything with a Google login will no longer work once we are off Google
    • Slack
    • Zoom
    • Atlassian
  • Automations happen in Google
    • OCR and Indexer reporting
    • Revver Stats
      • Python to Google Sheets (verify who this user is tied to)

Questions

  • Do employees with an Apps for business license still need an F3 license?

General Steps

  • Begin migrating services with Google logins to start using Azure AD or password logins.
  • Setup IMAP for email accounts so employees can begin accessing mail using Outlook.
