Note that if you need partial mailbox migration (email and email folders, without contacts, tasks, and calendar), you should order IMAP migration from G Suite to Microsoft 365.

You can also order Full Cutover G Suite to Microsoft 365 Migration, which includes GDrive data migration.

This migration occurs with the help of a special utility that allows moving any amounts of mail data, calendars, and other information in the shortest time, avoiding possible errors during manual data transfer.

Our objective is to provide a plan and design a way to migrate to Microsoft 365, including email, contacts, calendars, and tasks. The project will be considered successful when user data is fully migrated from Gmail and Google Drive to the Microsoft 365 tenant.
