Google Expands Message Migration Options
In an exciting development for organizations utilizing both Google Workspace and Microsoft Teams, Google has announced that it is expanding the capability to migrate messages between these platforms. Now, Google Workspace admins can seamlessly transfer conversations from Teams channels to Google Chat spaces, enhancing workplace communication fluidity.
Step-by-Step Guide to Migration
For those tasked with migrating data, the process is straightforward, albeit with a few steps to ensure everything goes smoothly. First, you’ll need to connect to your Microsoft account before diving into the migration. This is where the organizational magic begins!
Next, you’ll upload a CSV file containing the Teams data from which you want to migrate messages. It’s vital to specify the source-to-destination identity mapping by including another CSV file that lists the email IDs of users from the source and target locations.
Finishing Touches on Your Migration
Once your files are ready, take a deep breath and enter the starting date for your message migration. With your settings locked and loaded, proceed to initiate the data migration. However, it’s crucial to remember that only accounts of existing users with a licensing agreement and Google Chat enabled will be able to receive this migrating data. Lastly, wrap things up by making the newly migrated spaces, messages, and related conversation data accessible to your Google Workspace users.
Migrating from Microsoft Teams to Google Chat might seem daunting, but with the right preparations and these steps, your organization can make the transition smoothly!
