Keep your domain. Keep your history. Keep your team working. We migrate mail, Drive files, calendars, and permissions into Microsoft 365 with zero unplanned downtime — then make sure your people actually know how to use it on day one.
Whether you know it as G Suite, Google Workspace, or Gmail for Business, more Philippine organizations are consolidating onto Microsoft 365 — for stronger security, deeper desktop capability, and AI that works across every app.
Productivity, communication, security, analytics, and device management under a single subscription — instead of stitched-together add-ons.
Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook run natively on your machine and sync when you reconnect — no browser dependency.
Zero Trust by default with Conditional Access, MFA, Entra ID, and Microsoft Defender — built in, not bolted on.
Macros, pivot tables, Power Query, and advanced modelling that spreadsheet-heavy teams can't replicate in Sheets.
Purview DLP, sensitivity labels, retention, and audit tooling that map to the Data Privacy Act and global standards.
Microsoft 365 Copilot works inside Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, and Teams — not just a subset of them.
The biggest fear about switching isn’t technical — it’s human. Here’s exactly what your team trades, tool for tool. Nothing they rely on disappears.
And the part people worry about most: your email addresses don't change. Your company domain moves with you, your inbox history comes across, and your shared calendars keep their recurring meetings. The name on the app icon changes — the way your business runs doesn't.
Both are credible cloud suites. The difference shows up in depth — desktop power, security architecture, and how far AI reaches.
| Capability | Microsoft 365 | Google Workspace |
|---|---|---|
| Offline desktop apps | Full desktop Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook included | Primarily web-based; limited offline capability |
| AI assistant | Copilot across Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, Teams | Gemini, with narrower app coverage |
| Email security | Exchange Online Protection + Microsoft Defender | Gmail's native filtering |
| Identity & access | Entra ID with Conditional Access and MFA built in | Advanced controls tied to higher tiers |
| Data loss prevention | Purview DLP and sensitivity labels included from Business Premium | Requires higher-tier plans or add-ons |
| Storage per user | 1 TB OneDrive, expandable | Varies by plan tier |
| Spreadsheet depth | Excel: macros, VBA, Power Query, advanced modelling | Sheets: strong for collaboration, lighter on modelling |
| Analytics & BI | Power BI available within the Microsoft ecosystem | Looker Studio; full Looker is a separate cost |
| Device management | Microsoft Intune for company and BYOD endpoints | Endpoint management varies by tier |
Microsoft 365 capabilities shown reflect Business Premium and Enterprise E3 equivalents. Google Workspace capabilities vary by plan tier — we’ll map your exact current plan during the assessment.
Microsoft 365 builds Zero Trust into the platform rather than layering it on: identity, endpoint, email, and data protection managed from a single admin centre.
| Security area | Microsoft 365 | Google Workspace |
|---|---|---|
| Zero Trust architecture | Built in — Conditional Access, MFA, Entra ID | Often requires third-party integration |
| Threat intelligence scale | Microsoft customers face 600M+ attacks daily, feeding the defence models that protect your tenant1 | No comparable public figure |
| Security investment | $20 billion committed over five years — 4× Microsoft's previous rate2 | Not publicly comparable |
| Endpoint protection | Defender for Business: EDR, ASR rules, next-gen antivirus | Endpoint management, lighter threat response |
| Information protection | Always-on encryption with sensitivity labels that travel with the file | Less granular labelling and encryption control |
| Data loss prevention | Purview DLP included from Business Premium | Requires higher tiers or add-ons |
| Compliance tooling | Compliance Manager with a broad control and template library | Smaller template set, fewer industry mappings |
This is a capability comparison, not a claim that Google Workspace is insecure. Both platforms are enterprise-credible — the question is how much security you get included versus how much you assemble.
Copilot drafts in Word, analyzes in Excel, summarizes meetings in Teams, and triages Outlook — inheriting your existing permissions so it only ever sees what each person is already allowed to see. Forrester’s Total Economic Impact study projects a three-year ROI ranging from 132% to 353% for SMBs deploying it.3
This is the part that keeps people on Google Workspace longer than they’d like. So here’s exactly what moves, what stays, and what your team will notice.
Mail and contacts transfer intact — not just recent messages. Years of Gmail archive land in Outlook, searchable, with folder structure preserved.
Your company domain moves to Microsoft 365 and every user keeps their existing address. We handle the DNS cut-over so nothing bounces.
Files and shared drives migrate to OneDrive and SharePoint with sharing permissions carried across — so access rules don't silently reset.
Events transfer including recurring meetings and colour coding, so nobody loses a standing weekly or a booked client call.
A staged migration keeps Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 live at the same time, so teams cut over when they're ready — not all at once.
Change management isn't an afterthought. Role-based enablement runs alongside the migration so day one on Microsoft 365 isn't day one of confusion.
We audit your Google Workspace tenant, map users and data volume, and design the migration and licensing plan.
A small group migrates first. We validate mail, files, and permissions before touching the wider organization.
Mail, Drive, and calendars move in staged batches. DNS cut-over is scheduled around your business hours.
Role-based training, security baseline configuration, and hypercare support while habits settle.
A migration is only as good as what happens after cut-over. We bring Microsoft-recognized technical depth and a delivery model built to land the change, not just move the data.
Recognized four times for technical excellence and business impact delivering Microsoft solutions in the Philippines — backed by our Microsoft Solutions Partner designations and Advanced Specializations across Modern Work and Security.
We audit your Google Workspace environment, data volume, and security posture — then right-size your Microsoft 365 licensing so you don't pay for capability you won't use.
→Certified engineers migrate mail, files, and calendars in staged batches, configure your security baseline, and manage the DNS cut-over — with zero unplanned downtime.
→Role-based training, internal champions, and managed support turn a platform switch into a productivity gain — so your team lands in Microsoft 365 confident, not confused.
Most organizations of 50–500 users complete within two to four weeks, including planning, pilot, and full cut-over. Larger or more complex tenants take longer — we’ll give you a realistic timeline after the assessment, not an optimistic one.
Yes. We use enterprise-grade migration tooling to move mail, contacts, Drive files with their sharing permissions, and Calendar events — including recurring meetings and colour coding. Your archive comes with you.
No. Your existing company domain moves to Microsoft 365 and every user keeps their familiar address. We handle the DNS cut-over and schedule it around your business hours so mail flow isn’t interrupted.
Yes. A staged migration keeps Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 live simultaneously, so teams move when they’re ready rather than all at once. It’s the lower-risk path for organizations that can’t afford a hard cut-over.
Licensing is per user; migration services vary by data volume and complexity. We quote both transparently after the assessment. Many organizations offset a meaningful share of the cost by consolidating separate tools — chat, meetings, storage, security — into one Microsoft 365 license.
Exchange Online Protection and Microsoft Defender add phishing, spoofing, and malware defence at enterprise scale, informed by the threat signals Microsoft observes across its global customer base. We configure your security baseline as part of the migration, not as a follow-up project.
That’s the assessment’s job. Most Philippine organizations coming from Google Workspace land on Business Premium, because it includes the security, device management, and compliance tooling that Basic and Standard don’t — and it’s the foundation Copilot requires. We’ll show you the comparison against your actual usage.
