I need an experienced Microsoft 365 consultant to take our small team (two users) completely off Google Workspace and land us smoothly inside Microsoft 365. You will spin up a new tenant, apply the two Business licenses I provide, and attach our existing domain. DNS or WIX will need to figure out if it is hosted on GoDaddy, so once the domain is verified you will switch MX, SPF, Autodiscover and any other required records so mail flows through Microsoft immediately. For the mail move I want native Microsoft tools—no third-party utilities. Each Gmail mailbox sits somewhere between 5 GB and 20 GB and must arrive in Outlook with email, contacts, and calendar intact. After mail is confirmed, you will pull the contents of our current Google Drive into the corresponding OneDrive accounts; the file volume is modest. When everything is migrated and verified I expect: • Both users logging in with our domain on Microsoft 365, receiving and sending mail from Outlook on web and desktop • All historical Gmail data visible and searchable in Outlook • Google Drive files present in OneDrive with original folder structure and permissions (owner to owner) • DNS fully cut over on GoDaddy with no mail disruption Please outline your approach, estimated hours, and any prerequisites you’ll need from me so we can schedule the cut-over at a low-traffic time.

Hello, I specialize in Microsoft 365 migrations and can help move your team smoothly from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365. I will spin up your new tenant, apply the provided Business licenses, and connect your domain. Once DNS hosting is confirmed (GoDaddy/Wix), I’ll configure MX, SPF, DKIM, Autodiscover, and related records so mail flows through Microsoft with no downtime. For Gmail migration, I’ll use Microsoft’s native tools (M365 Admin Center & Exchange Online migration) to transfer each mailbox (5–20 GB) with email, contacts, and calendars intact. Once verified, I’ll migrate Google Drive content into OneDrive while preserving folder structure and ownership. Deliverables: Both users authenticated via your domain, sending/receiving mail in Outlook (desktop/web) Historical Gmail fully searchable in Outlook Google Drive files moved to OneDrive with structure/permissions maintained DNS cut over and validated with zero mail loss Estimated effort: ~6–8 hours including testing and cut-over. I’ll need admin access to Google Workspace, GoDaddy (or DNS provider), and your Microsoft 365 tenant. Would you like me to also prepare a step-by-step migration plan so you can review the timeline before we begin?
