Migration Tool

A trial version of the tool is available to download.

Cloud Technology Solutions Email Migrator enables the migration of an entire email system to Google Apps, specifically to Google Mail, Google Contacts and Google Calendar. A high level of configurability is provided to enable administrators to operate the migration tool in the most appropriate way for their environment. The tool is written and supported in-house and was the first commercial tool to migrate GroupWise and Exchange systems to Google Apps.

The Cloud Google Migrator has been used for thousands of user migrations, from organisations with 50 users to organisations with 5000 or more users. Whatever the size of your organisation, you can be sure the Cloud Google Migrator can effectively move your data.
