What is included in Suitebriar's end-to-end migration service?
Suitebriar's time-tested Onboarding & Migration practice delivers comprehensive technology transformation packages including data migration (email, calendar, contacts, and files), deployment planning, change management, training, and ongoing support. After migrating over 5 million users to the cloud, our team has deep knowledge of the process, potential points of friction, and mapping for successful migrations. We ensure your employees are educated, supported, and prepared to fully leverage new technology tools.
Who will be on my migration project team?
All migrations are assigned a dedicated Suitebriar Project Team led by certified subject matter experts including a Project Manager, Deployment Specialist, Change Manager, and Technical Support. Additional technical expertise is available depending on your project criteria. Your Suitebriar project team functions as an extension of your IT team and is available throughout the process to field questions, address concerns, and celebrate successes.
What is Suitebriar's White Glove migration service?
Our White Glove transition service takes all the hassle out of your hands by transferring all your email, calendar, contacts, and files for you. This service is safe, fast, and uses cloud-based integration and security to keep your files protected. It's an incredibly affordable feature that prevents you from needing to do the legwork yourself, allowing you to focus on your business while we handle the technical complexities of migration.
How long does a typical Google Workspace migration take?
Migration timelines vary based on your organization's size, data volume, and technical complexity. After an initial Discovery Call, we schedule a Technical Scoping Call to review your technology landscape, business goals, and company culture. The output includes a customized roadmap with a detailed timeline for completion. Most migrations are designed to minimize downtime and ensure your organization remains productive throughout the transition.
What data can be migrated from Office 365 to Google Workspace?
Most migrations include the ability to transition all mail history, calendar events, and contacts from Office 365 to Google Workspace. However, email rules from Outlook cannot be directly migrated but can be easily recreated in Gmail with fewer clicks. Files from OneDrive and other legacy systems can also be migrated. Your Google Cloud Specialist and Deployment Engineer will discuss your specific data migration needs during your Technical Scoping Call.
What is Suitebriar's deployment methodology?
Suitebriar uses a proven, multi-stage deployment methodology that ensures seamless migration while minimizing downtime and maximizing efficiency. Our approach includes thorough assessment and planning, technical scoping, data migration execution, validation and testing, optimization, change management, training, and ongoing support. This time-tested methodology helps organizations drive adoption and accelerate productivity in support of innovation.
How does Suitebriar handle change management during migration?
Our seasoned Change Managers work with your IT teams to customize a strategy that meets your unique business needs. This strategy is the difference between employees simply making the transition and truly embracing Google's productivity and collaborative capabilities to drive organizational success. We recommend purchasing Change Management as part of your roadmap to support a successful transition, as it helps recreate Microsoft processes in Google Workspace—often in more effective ways.
What training does Suitebriar provide during migration?
Suitebriar specializes in impactful training sessions that deliver results aligned with business and end-user goals. We offer a comprehensive catalog of training topics and can evaluate and scope customized sessions based on your requirements. Training options include on-site programs, easy-to-use materials you can share with your team, admin training, and workshops designed to help employees fully leverage new technology tools and accelerate time to adoption.
How quickly can employees become productive with Google Workspace after migration?
Because Google Workspace tools are intuitive and already familiar to many users, we typically find that about 80% of employees can easily start using features to create, collaborate, and be productive within the first two weeks of adoption. Our Change Management representatives are certified Google Workspace experts who teach users how to get the most out of the tools, ensuring a smooth transition with minimal productivity disruption.
What happens if we experience a migration failure or issues?
As a Google Cloud Premier Partner, Suitebriar specializes in troubleshooting and resolving migration issues. We offer white glove services to ensure successful transitions from legacy servers to the cloud. Our team can help resolve blocking issues (complete migration failures) and non-blocking issues (partial migrations with missing data). We provide ongoing support throughout and after the migration to address any technical challenges that arise.
