From Google Workspace to Microsoft 365, cleanly.

The challenge

An aerospace business had outgrown Google Workspace and wanted to move to Microsoft 365, to line up with the tools its people and partners already used. The appeal of the move was clear. The risk was in the doing.

A platform migration is exactly the kind of project that can go quietly wrong: a mailbox that does not come across cleanly, a shared file that loses its history, a user who logs in on Monday to find their world has shifted. For a business where operations cannot simply pause, the brief was uncompromising. Move everything, lose nothing, and do not interrupt the working day.

Our approach

We treated the migration as a staged, tested exercise. We mapped what was in use across more than fifty users, planned the move around how the business worked, and tested before committing anything.

The full data transfer covered the things people rely on without thinking about them: email, files, and the user profiles that make a login feel like your own. By staging the work and cutting over deliberately, we planned around the working day rather than asking people to down tools while the move happened.

The outcome

More than fifty users moved from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 with their data and profiles intact. Because the work was staged and tested first, the people doing the work carried on with their day while the platform underneath them changed.

The business now sits on Microsoft 365 with everything accounted for, on the platform its people and partners already use.

The client here is described by its sector rather than named. Why we describe our work that way.
