Migrate Between Cloud Platforms
Most migration providers are incentivized to migrate you to the platform they resell. 4TH AND BAILEY is an authorized Microsoft CSP and Google Partner. The platform recommended is the one that fits the organization — and that recommendation has gone in both directions.
Cross-platform migrations — Microsoft 365 to Google Workspace or Google Workspace to Microsoft 365 — require mapping between fundamentally different data models. Email folders become Gmail labels. Exchange distribution lists become Google Groups. OneDrive becomes Google Drive. The technical translation must be planned before the migration begins, not discovered during it.
Platform selection is the first conversation in every migration engagement. The factors that determine fit include: existing Microsoft infrastructure dependencies (Active Directory, on-premises servers, Windows device management), the nature of the team's work (document collaboration patterns, communication preferences), compliance requirements (some frameworks have specific platform guidance), and total cost of ownership over 3-5 years.
The migration credential on this page is documented: 641 GB and 1.85 million messages migrated for a legal firm, and 25+ TB migrated with 99.996% accuracy for a RAV America engagement. Both numbers are verifiable.
