Google Apps to O365 migration

Just completed Google Apps (Mail, Vault, Drive, Sites) the whole lot to Office 365. A lot of scripting, third party tools, and patience required.

Thank you Faiza for replying. Much appreciated.

 

I was interested in knowing how much data we could extract from Google Vault per day, to be able to give our client an estimate of the effort required to move their archives to O365. We have asked BitTitan about it but as there are too many components in their Vault migration solution, they recommended us to do pilot to get a more accurate estimation. The good news is that our client approved it.

 

 

Thank you so much for sharing your experience.

 

Best Regards.

Hi Edgar Vicioso my name is Antonio Vargas, I work for Bittitan. As NunoAriasSilva said the throttling limits with our tool are not the problem. We have the most efficient tool to migrate data out of vault, and the big issue comes from the Vault on the Google side. Long story short the Vault doesn't allow any matters that take more than 24h (times out). But we do have processes to take multiple matters and make sure that, with multiple extractor machines and multi-threading per machine you move all that data out without an issue. Ping me so that we can schedule a call and discuss details if you want. Glad to help.

        Edgar Vicioso You're in great hand with Antonio Maciel De Vargas. I've worked with him and the BitTitan team. Also if you need help with Google Sites or Drive migration please let me know as I know plenty of folks Down under :-)

         

        Also here are some tips on what does and what does not get migrated with the BitTitan tool: BitTitan

        What migrates and what doesn’t for Google Mail\Vault to O365 migrations https://community.bittitan.com/kb/Pages/What%20items%20are%20migrated%20with%20MigrationWiz.aspx    

        • Google Apps: Inbox, Folders/Labels, Email, Muted Email (as regular email), Contacts, Calendars (including links for Google Hangouts within calendar meetings).

        o    Note: Links for Google Hangouts are a new default feature added to Google Meeting. Microsoft Office 365 doesn't have the corresponding property to map. Therefore, when migrating to Office 365, the links for Google Hangouts are added to the beginning of the meeting description body text on Office 365.

        • Google Drive: Folders, Shared Folders in your Drive, permissions, Google Apps native files except Google Forms, Code Files (Xml, cs, cpp, h, etc.), Documents (docx, doc, odt, csv, pdf, etc.), Images (png, jpg, etc.), Executables (exe), Videos (avi, mp4, etc.), Audio Files (mp3, wave, etc.). Typical Destinations: OneDrive for Business, Google Drive.
        • Google Sites: Files on Google Sites that are of the "File cabinet" page type can be migrated using MigrationWiz to SharePoint Online document libraries. The migration includes both documents and document permissions.​
        • Google Vault (Source Only): Folders, Email
