Move From Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 — Without Losing a Single Email

Outgrowing Google Workspace? Xen IT migrates your email, files, calendars and contacts to Microsoft 365 with zero data loss and minimal downtime — then stays on as your managed IT partner to run it properly. One fixed-price project, one team, no DIY headaches.

Why Businesses Move to Microsoft 365

Google Workspace is great when you're small. As you grow, these are the reasons businesses make the switch to Microsoft 365.

The Real Desktop Office Apps

Your finance and operations teams want full desktop Excel, Word and Outlook — not browser-only equivalents. Microsoft 365 gives you the genuine apps your power users actually need.

Teams as Your Business Hub

Microsoft Teams brings chat, calls, meetings and file collaboration into one place — and integrates with the line-of-business apps Australian SMBs rely on, from accounting to practice management.

Enterprise-Grade Security

Microsoft Entra ID, Conditional Access, Defender and Purview give you the security and compliance controls that growing professional firms need — and that auditors and insurers increasingly expect.

SharePoint & OneDrive

Move beyond shared Google Drives to structured SharePoint document libraries with proper permissions, version history and records management — without losing the easy file access your team is used to.

Copilot & AI Ready

Microsoft 365 is the foundation for Microsoft Copilot and modern AI tooling. Migrating now positions your business to adopt AI productivity gains as they roll out — securely and on your data.

One Partner to Run It All

The biggest reason of all: with Xen IT you don't just get migrated and abandoned. We become your ongoing managed IT provider — supporting users, securing the tenant, and managing licences for you.

What We Migrate

Everything Comes Across — Nothing Left Behind

We handle the full migration from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365, so your team logs in on day one and everything is simply where it should be.

Gmail → Exchange Online

All mailboxes, folders, labels and history migrated to Exchange Online / Outlook — including shared mailboxes and aliases. Nothing is lost and the full archive comes with it.

Google Drive → OneDrive & SharePoint

Personal files move to OneDrive; shared and team drives map cleanly into SharePoint document libraries — with a folder structure and permissions designed around how your business actually works.

Calendars & Contacts

Every calendar, recurring meeting, shared calendar and contact list comes across to Outlook — so nobody misses an appointment or loses a client's details in the move.

Domains, DNS & Email Flow

We reconfigure your domain, MX, SPF, DKIM and DMARC records correctly — improving deliverability and security so your email keeps flowing and lands in inboxes, not spam.

Devices & Sign-In

We set up Microsoft Entra ID, configure laptops and phones, install the Office apps, and roll out multi-factor authentication — so every user is secure and ready on cutover day.

User Training & Adoption

Change is the hard part. We give your team simple guides and hands-on help for Outlook, Teams and SharePoint, so the switch feels like an upgrade — not a disruption.

Our Process

A Proven, Low-Risk Migration Path

We've moved businesses off Google Workspace many times. Our staged process means no surprises, no big-bang cutover, and no lost data — just a clear plan from first call to fully managed.

1

Discovery & Audit

We map your users, mailboxes, drives, domains and apps, then scope a fixed-price migration with a clear timeline.

2

Build & Configure Microsoft 365

We provision the tenant, set up Entra ID, security baselines, SharePoint structure and licensing — ready before any data moves.

3

Pilot & Pre-Sync

We pre-migrate mail and files in the background and pilot with a small group, so issues are caught long before cutover.

4

Cutover & Go-Live

We switch email flow over — usually after hours — do a final sync, and are on-site or on-call the next morning so day one is smooth.

5

Ongoing Managed IT Support

This is where most providers stop and we don't. Xen IT stays on to support users, secure the tenant and manage your Microsoft 365 for good.
