Mail Routing

For more information about Cloudiway mail routing, please read the following article.
Google Group Migration
How many Google Groups?
Migration Strategy
You could use by default pre-staging strategy for your migration project with unlimited passes. This means you will switch all users in the same time at the end of data move.
If you would like to move users per batches, you will need Cloudiway coexistence with a set of powerful functions such as calendar free/busy queries, global address lists sync, and mail routing for the whole migration period.
Provisioning
During migration, Cloudiway needs to push data to the target mailboxes, so they must already be created (provisioned). Therefore, you need to provide them for migration. We can help you with this task if you don’t have your own tools.
Register and create an account on portal.cloudiway.com to start your free trial. You can migrate one user and up to 100 MB of data for emails and 100 MB for drives. No credit card is required.
Licenses are necessary to use the features of the migration platform. A license is considered as expired once the migration status is completed.
You can purchase licenses at any time. Login to your account or sign in
Registration is free and will only take a few minutes.
You can also read the following article that explains the process.
If you have a large-scale migration project, please contact our sales department using our online contact form to accurately define the project requirements and estimate costs
You can track your license stock in the account summary section.
You can upgrade your license with an additional data package available in the Buy section or by contacting the sales team.

Due to data transfer costs using Microsoft Azure, Cloudiway non-profit and educational licenses have a limited data size.
Licenses cost $3/user for standard (mailbox only) and $5 /user for premium (mailbox & drive) with a limited size of 3 GB for Standard and 6 GB for premium. Therefore, you should limit the amount of emails to move.
In comparison, our regular licenses cost $9.50 /user for Standard and $14 /user for premium, where you can move unlimited data.
We also offer a 15% discount on Google Sites migration.
Important: Cloudiway requires proof that you belong to one of these organizations.
Once you have reached the trial limitations you can directly buy and assign a license to the same user, continue the process, and complete your project.
The Cloudiway platform (migration, coexistence and Identity Management) is a cloud-based application hosted in Windows Azure.
We take your privacy and security seriously and as such we have invested significant effort in making our platform and your data secure.
Please read this information carefully to understand our policies and practices regarding your data and how we will treat it.
Cloudiway enterprise coexistence enables seamless collaboration between Google Apps, Office 365, and Exchange users. It provides interoperability between these mail platforms during the migration or for long-term, multiple system usage.
About using Cloudiway enterprise coexistence
How does it work?
1. Free/busy queries between Google, Office 365, and Exchange Server (on-premises) allows users to query the availability of external users, rooms, and equipment, providing immediate answers.
Note: to maintain users’ confidential information, additional details are not disclosed.
2. Address book synchronization (also called GalSync – Global Address List Synchronization) automatically creates users from one messaging system as shared contacts in the other(s) to keep all global address lists up to date.
3. Mail routing provides interoperability between two tenants. Users can send and receive emails in case of long-term migration experience using the mail routing engine.
This service is not available by default. A dedicated pool of virtual machines will be built and installed close to your location.

Google and SharePoint have architectural differences.
The following chart shows the difference between Google sites and SharePoint sites: hierarchical vs. flat organization.
| SharePoint http://company.sharepoint.com |
||||||
| Primary Site collection #1 Root site |
Primary Site collection #2 Root site |
Primary Site collection #n Root site |
||||
| Subsite #1 | Subsite #2 | Subsite #1 | Subsite #1 | |||
| Subsite #1 | Subsite #2 | Subsite #… | Subsite #… | Subsite #… | Subsite #… | |
| Subsite #… | ||||||
In SharePoint, sites are hierarchically organized. A SharePoint sites tenant is a set of sites collections.
Each site collection contains a root site (the top site). The top site may have several subsites, which also may have subsites and so on.
| Google sites tenant https://sites.google.com/a/domain |
|||
| Site #1 | Site #2 | Site #3 | Site #4 |
Google sites are organized directly in a flat way in the tenant. The notion of Subsite does not exist on Google sites.
In this way, Cloudiway Platform proceeds by equivalence to migrate the different Google elements to a collaborative SharePoint site.
Cloudiway doesn’t provide any trial license for site migrations, but you can run a GetSites and Audit of your collaborative sites, which is free of charge.
Unfortunately, Cloudiway doesn’t support this migration scenario. We do, however, offer the only solution for Google Sites to SharePoint migration, as well as a SharePoint to SharePoint migration solution.
Unfortunately, Cloudiway doesn’t support public folder migration.
The migration of archives is not included within Standard mail licenses.
When you purchase licenses for data migration, you can also move archives, but you need to buy an additional data package.
You’ll need to evaluate the size of your archive and purchase a data package to match the volume of your migration project.
Please contact our sales department using our online contact form to get an accurate price quote or purchase an additional package through the Cloudiway platform.
The Cloudiway helpdesk has strict regulations and handles one issue per ticket.
Any additional requests will not be processed and closed. Support teams are very busy and need to be able to quickly resolve the problem to ensure risk is eliminated before it has an adverse impact on end-users.
Please provide as much detail as possible about your issue;
Cloudiway doesn’t provide support over the phone/email.
Please open a ticket using our Platform.
Migrating from one system to another is always a complex task because it requires specific configuration in both systems and high network reliability.
Cloudiway consulting services are not mandatory. However, we strongly encourage you to buy consulting services if you are using the Cloudiway Platform for the first time. This will ensure that you deliver the best service possible to your customer as well as become competent in using the platform. If you feel experienced enough, you might not want/need additional service packages. In this case, without professional services, you will only have access to support using our Platform.
Scope of Cloudiway consulting services:
Cloudiway teams assist you during your migration projects and help you in defining your migration path, planning your migration and determining the amount of resources that need to be dedicated to for your project.
During the project, Cloudiway brings high value, monitoring your migration and generating relevant migration reports.
We help you stay on track with your deadlines and send you action plans.
More than a service, you get the engagement of the consultant that your migration will be completed on time with a quality of migration greater than 99.9%.
During this managed migration mode, a project manager is assigned to your migration project and becomes your point of contact until completion.
