Microsoft 365 Migration Services

You should not, and the process is built so that nothing depends on a single moment. Mail is copied into the new tenant and verified against the source while your existing system stays live and authoritative. The MX switch happens only after that verification, and anything arriving during DNS propagation is picked up in a delta sync afterwards. The old mailboxes also stay available read-only for an agreed period, so there is a fallback.

For 10 to 50 users from webmail or Google Workspace, typically one to three weeks end to end — most of it data copying and waiting on decisions rather than hands-on work. On-premise Exchange, very large mailboxes or a complex file structure take longer. The cutover itself is usually a single evening or weekend regardless of the total project length.

Email signatures, chat history, and most third-party app connections do not move and are rebuilt. Server-side rules and filters migrate inconsistently, so expect to redo the complicated ones. Distribution lists are recreated rather than copied, with membership verified with you. Everything else — mail, folders, contacts, calendars, files, shared mailboxes — moves.

Yes, and it is our most common source. Gmail, Contacts and Calendar migrate well. The part that needs thought is files: Google Shared Drives and SharePoint sites do not map one to one, and deciding what becomes a SharePoint site against what becomes personal OneDrive is a structural decision worth making deliberately rather than by bulk copy.

For a short period, yes, and for larger organisations a hybrid move, where mailboxes go across in batches, is often the right approach. It adds complexity in mail routing and calendar availability between the two systems, so we only recommend it where user count or risk genuinely warrants it. Below about 50 users, a single planned cutover is usually simpler and less disruptive.

Those import into Exchange Online, and it is usually worth doing. A PST sitting on one laptop is one hard-drive failure away from gone, and it is invisible to any search or retention policy you put in place. Gathering them is often the slowest part of the project, because they are rarely where anybody thinks they are.

Yes. Tech Geum is based in Kerala and works with businesses across India. Migration work is done remotely. Being in the same timezone matters more here than in most IT work, because the cutover and the week that follows are when you want someone answerable during your working hours rather than a global ticket queue.

Then it is worth settling that before the migration, not during it. We resell Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and Zoho, and our comparison of Microsoft 365 against Google Workspace sets out where each genuinely wins. Migrating twice is expensive and demoralising, and we would rather have the argument at the quoting stage.
