Set up your Migration Environment

Setting up your migration environment is easy with Cloudfuze. Sign up for the platform and create your account. Then authenticate both your Microsoft Teams and Google Chat accounts within the tool and grant it access to your data. This will make the migration smooth for your teams.

Pre-Migration Scan

Before you migrate Teams to Google Chat, you need to run a pre-migration scan. This will give you a snapshot of your Microsoft Teams environment, channels and messages, and user permissions. Based on the scan results, you can determine which channels and messages to move to Google Chat. It’s a critical step to building a migration plan, minimizing downtime, and ensuring data integrity.

Map User Accounts

When moving from Microsoft Teams to Google Chat, you need to map user accounts correctly. CloudFuze has an auto-mapping feature that automatically matches user accounts between Microsoft Teams and Google Chat.

For complex migrations, you can upload a CSV file with user details to manually map accounts. This will ensure continuity so all users are mapped accurately to their respective channels and communication won’t be interrupted.

What to Migrate?

CloudFuze gives you granular control over what you want to import from Microsoft Teams to Google Chat. You can select specific Teams channels, public or private, that need to be moved to Google Chat.

The tool will move messages, files, timestamps and user metadata for those channels. You can also choose to move direct messages and group chats if needed. This will move and map everything over.

Initiate the Migration

Make sure all settings and configurations are good to go and initiate the migration through the migration tool. Our platform will validate all settings, including user mappings and data selection, before the migration starts. During the migration, monitor the progress in real-time through the Reports dashboard which will show you the data transfer status, errors, or issues so you can see it goes smoothly.

Post-Migration Check

Login to your Google Chat and check and ensure all channels, messages, files, and permissions have been migrated correctly. Look for any discrepancies or missing data and fix them as needed.

Run Delta Migration (Optional)

If needed, perform a delta migration to move any new messages added to the channels since the initial migration. This will keep your Google Chat up to date with ongoing conversations in Microsoft Teams.

Conclusion

You can successfully transfer Microsoft Teams channels to Google Chat with CloudFuze as the migration partner. Follow these steps—choose CloudFuze tool, prepare your environment, map users, select data, verify post-migration and you’re good to go with 100% accuracy.
