Hi. Although they have no migration guides on their website, BitTitan can migrate to Government tenants. I asked them what they could do here and their response was;
We are able to migrate to government tenants, but do not have any documentation specific to this. The important question here is whether or not the tenant we are talking about here is GCC High.
If this tenant is not GCC high, then you would run the migration just like any other O365 migration. If it is GCC High, then there are some special things to keep in mind:
For a mailbox migration, you will want to set up the endpoint as O365 (US Government) instead of the normal O365 endpoint.
For a OneDrive or SharePoint migration, you will want to apply an Advanced Option to point MigrationWiz as the necessary government endpoint. This option is OneDriveProImportEnvironment=AzureUSGovernment
For a Teams migration, you will also want to apply the advanced option as above. We do have a Guide with some other considerations for this.

I’d suggest talking to them might be a good option for you. I’ve used them many times.

PeterRising There are specific tools that address this. We have inhouse tools developed for this purpose. FYI I am a consultant working for an org that does this work. In fact, I have done this exact thing many times. If you would like to discuss reply back. carconi @ ishift . net
