Move from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 without the day-one chaos.
Switching from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 touches far more than email.
It reshapes how your team collaborates, how they reach their files, how identities and access work, and how everyone gets through the day. Covenant Technology Solutions plans and runs the whole move, including email, calendar, Drive, contacts, identity, security, and user readiness, so your team lands on day one ready to work.
A plan before anything changes
We give you a clear look at your Google Workspace environment and a plan for the full move before anything changes.
Trusted with the whole move. Covenant brings 25+ years of Microsoft-first, security-first experience to migration work for organizations across a range of industries.
The move is not just technical. It is operational. People still need to find files, join meetings, manage calendars, collaborate with teams, and trust that the new environment is secure.
When migrations get underestimated, problems show up fast
Most organizations know they need to move, but the risk hides in everything beyond the inbox.
Shared files, calendars, permissions, user accounts, security settings, licensing, and adoption all have to come along cleanly, or your team feels it on day one.
What Covenant plans for
- Email, calendars, contacts, and shared data.
- Drive content, permissions, folder structure, and access expectations.
- User accounts, identity, licensing, and security baseline.
- Communication, validation, support, and user readiness.
Not just mailboxes
Email matters, but files, permissions, calendars, contacts, identity, and adoption are where many migrations get messy.
Not just cutover weekend
The success of day one is shaped by planning, cleanup, communication, licensing, and support before the move happens.
Not just technical execution
The migration has to fit how your business works, not just what a checklist says can be moved.
Our migration approach
We plan for the full environment, not just the mailboxes, so the move is smooth, predictable, and something your team barely notices.
Assess
We review your Google Workspace environment, users, data, sharing patterns, and business requirements to define scope and surface risks early.
Plan
We build a detailed plan covering users, data types, permissions, licensing, identity, timing, and business continuity.
Prepare Microsoft 365
Before anything moves, we set up the Microsoft 365 tenant with the right structure, licensing, and security baseline.
Migrate
We move approved data and workloads in a controlled way, with accuracy, access, and minimal disruption as the priorities.
Validate
We verify mail, calendars, files, permissions, and access so your team can work in the new environment.
Support
We stay with your team as they settle into Microsoft 365 and help close the gaps that surface after cutover.
Why organizations choose Covenant
The goal is not simply to land Microsoft 365. The goal is to land it cleanly, securely, and in a way your users can actually adopt.
The whole move, not a partial cleanup
We handle the areas that get overlooked: identity, permissions, security configuration, user readiness, and more than just mailboxes.
Guidance, not just execution
We are a consulting-first firm. We make sure the move fits your business goals, not just the technical checklist.
Built in from the start
We set a solid security baseline in your new tenant from day one and can continue hardening it as your needs grow.
A better day-one experience
A migration only succeeds if people can work. We prioritize usability, communication, validation, and support from the outset.
After the move
Once you are running on Microsoft 365, the natural next step is making that environment more resilient. Fortify, our Microsoft cyber-hardening solution, strengthens security and reduces risk across your new tenant.
We can talk through Fortify as part of your migration plan, not as a separate decision to worry about later.
