Moving from Google to Microsoft? Do it once, do it properly.
Most Northland businesses that switch tell us the same thing: “we need to be more Microsoft based.” Fair enough — Teams, Copilot & the tools your accountant, lawyer & suppliers already live in. The migration itself takes days, not months. The mistake is treating it as a copy-paste job instead of the one chance to set security up right from day one.

What actually moves (plain English)
Email, calendars & contacts — cleanly. Drive files to SharePoint/OneDrive, with folder structures & sharing rebuilt properly (this is where DIY migrations go wrong). Google Meet to Teams. Your domain, unchanged. Staff turn up Monday & log into Outlook — we handle the rest, including the “where did my stuff go?” week with on-call support.
Why the migration is your security moment
A migration touches every account, every device & every permission in the business — you’re paying for that work once. Adding the security layer at the same time costs a fraction of retrofitting it later: MFA enforced properly, geo-blocking (blocks logins from places & networks you’d never trade with — roughly 1 in 3 identity attacks Huntress investigates comes from one, & geo-blocking stops those before the password is even tested), 24/7 monitoring that catches a compromised login in minutes, & backups that are actually tested. You end up with Microsoft & proper security in the same week — not a retrofit project next year.

What it costs
It depends on users & data — so we quote it fixed-price after a free assessment. One number, in writing, before you commit to anything. No hourly meter running. Ongoing, most businesses land on Microsoft 365 Business Premium plus our managed service — one monthly number, everything managed.
Start with the free assessment
We’ll map what you have in Google, what it looks like in Microsoft & exactly what the move costs — fixed. The report is yours either way. Nice and simple.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 migration take?
The data move itself is usually days, not months. The planning around it — security setup, licensing, training — is what makes it worth doing once, properly.
Will I lose emails or files during the migration?
No. Email, calendars, contacts and files are migrated across in full. The point of planning it properly is exactly so nothing is lost and there’s no gap in your day.
Can I keep my email address when moving to Microsoft 365?
Yes. Your domain and email addresses stay the same — only the platform behind them changes.
