Vendasta’s Slack Migration to Google Chat Success Story

When Vendasta, a leading platform for selling and managing digital solutions for small businesses, decided to consolidate all communication under one roof, they chose to migrate from Slack to Google Chat—and trusted CloudFuze to make the transition smooth and successful. The result? We migrated 600+ Slack channels and 800 employees in under 8 weeks with zero downtime.

The Mission: Centralize Communication, Collaborate

Since 2008, Vendasta has grown into a global company with a distributed workforce in Canada, the US and India. They had been using Slack for over 8 years to handle instant messaging and joint decision making. With the new features of Google Chat in 2023 and their ongoing Google Workspace adoption, it was time for a change.

The company wanted to:

• Preserve all business-critical conversations and data from Slack
• Have discoverable and admin managed chat rooms
• Simplify communication between 800 global employees
• Seamlessly integrate with Google Workspace tools like Meet, Calendar and Docs

The Challenge: Lift and Shift Business Critical Data

Vendasta’s Slack ecosystem had all the critical data—sales tactics to IT conversations. Building a migration tool in-house was not an option due to time and budget constraints.

CloudFuze provided the industry’s-first Slack to Google Chat migration solution, designed to securely move messages, threads and files securely with no data loss, no downtime. We accurately move all communication data—R&D conversations, sales plans, IT logs with 100% data integrity.

With CloudFuze’s advanced migration platform, Vendasta successfully moved its entire Slack environment to Google Chat—covering hundreds of channels, a global team of 800 employees, and more than a million messages. The project was completed in less than 8 weeks, without any disruption to daily operations. All chat histories, metadata, threads, and access controls were fully retained, ensuring a seamless user experience from day one.
