Migrating to Gmail

Moving your email account to Gmail gives you an intuitive interface and enterprise-grade security. You can switch easily with our newest range of cloud-native migration solutions.

Why migrate? The benefits of using our email migration tool

Our data migration tool is designed to save you time and centralize your business data in one secure location.

An employee uses Gmail’s search feature to find emails, files, and contacts.

Centralize your data, end the chaos

Stop juggling multiple accounts. Our migration tool centralizes all your business emails, files, and contacts, making everything easily searchable. Save valuable time and reduce the stress of a fragmented workflow.

Migrate every email at once

No more manually forwarding emails one by one or copying and pasting files. Our tool allows for mass migration, so you can copy large volumes of data at once. You have control over what to migrate and can bring over your historical email, calendar, and contact data to ensure nothing is left behind.

A user selects multiple emails relating to a team outing, and starts dragging them across the screen.
A user has two Gmail windows open, one for personal email and one for business email. The business account shows a work email that has been starred.

Keep business and personal separate

Many business owners start out using a personal email for work, but separating the two is crucial for professionalism and organization. Our tool ensures your business related emails are copied to Google Workspace, to help you connect with your customers from your new custom email address.
