- 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.
- To get the functionality we need we would need to upgrade everyone to an Office 365 E3 License - $23 / user / month

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)
- Google Resources - Rooms, Zoom rooms
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.
