Century 21 Canada’s Unified Google Workspace Journey Powered by Suitebriar
When Century 21 Canada welcomed Real Property Management into its growing real-estate family, the leadership team saw an opportunity to create more than just a shared brand. They wanted to unify communication, collaboration, and productivity across both organizations — bringing together nearly 100 professionals under a single, cohesive digital workspace.
To make that happen, Century 21 Canada partnered with Suitebriar, a trusted Google Cloud Partner with deep experience in large-scale Workspace migrations.
The Challenge: Integrating Two Organizations Without Disruption
Following the integration, Real Property Management needed to migrate 95 users — along with their email, files, and shared resources — into Century 21 Canada’s existing Google Workspace tenant.
The challenge was more than technical:
- How could the team merge critical business data and workflows without downtime?
- How could they protect sensitive customer information and maintain continuity for agents and staff?
- And most importantly, how could they ensure every employee felt supported through the transition?
A smooth cutover was essential. Real estate professionals depend on constant access to email, documents, and client communications. Even brief disruptions can delay transactions or impact client trust.
The Suitebriar Solution: A Fully Managed Migration from Start to Finish
To meet these goals, Suitebriar deployed its Managed Migration Service, bringing project management discipline and technical expertise to every stage of the process — from initial planning to the final go-live event.
- Strategic Planning and Risk Mitigation
Suitebriar’s team began by developing a comprehensive migration schedule that aligned with Century 21 Canada’s business calendar. They identified key risks — from data integrity to authentication conflicts — and built in redundancies to ensure a seamless transition. - Hands-On Technical Execution
All technical workshops, data transfers, and system configurations were handled by Suitebriar engineers. The team used Google-native tools and best practices to migrate mailboxes, Drive content, and calendar data while maintaining metadata and permissions. Clear communication channels were established for stakeholders and end users to report issues in real time. - Change Management and Support
Beyond technology, Suitebriar prioritized people. They provided guided training materials, office-hours sessions, and quick-reference resources to help users adapt to the new environment confidently.
The Outcome: A Unified, Resilient Digital Foundation
The migration was completed on time and without interruption to daily operations. Employees experienced zero downtime, and teams could begin collaborating immediately within Century 21 Canada’s Workspace domain.
Sandy Deo, Marketing Manager for C21 Property Management Division, shared:
“The migration was incredibly smooth. Suitebriar’s project management and technical expertise meant our team experienced zero downtime and could start collaborating in the new environment immediately.”
The project not only achieved its technical objectives but also laid the foundation for future growth:
- All users now work within a single, secure Google Workspace environment, strengthening brand consistency and data security.
- Centralized administration and Google’s built-in security controls enable better governance and reduced IT overhead.
