    Introducing Google Apps Migration for Microsoft Outlook®

    Businesses and schools are moving to Google Apps in droves, and they’re able to switch more seamlessly with the help of tools to move old email, contacts and calendar data from legacy solutions to Google’s cloud. We have administrator-managed migration utilities for Microsoft® Exchange and Lotus Notes®, and today we’re making it a lot easier for many end-users to move their old data themselves if their administrators aren’t planning server-side data migrations.

    Google Apps Migration for Microsoft Outlook® is a new end-user tool that moves email, calendar and contact data from Outlook® profiles, PST files and Exchange accounts to Google Apps. With this new tool, migrations are:

  • Easy: a simple three step migration process is all it takes
  • Fast: migrate thousands of emails, calendar events and contacts per hour
  • Painless: users can continue to use Microsoft Outlook® until the migration is finished, and migrate in phases if that’s more convenient


    Google Apps Migration for Microsoft Outlook® works with Microsoft Outlook® 2003 and 2007, on-premise and hosted Exchange, as well as legacy PST files saved on users’ machines, and it’s available at no additional cost to Google Apps Premier and Education Edition customers.

    If you’re still running on-premises Exchange or hosted Exchange, we invite you to learn more about switching to Google Apps.
