Resource: Microsoft Guides for Switching from Google Services to Office 365 For Business

Microsoft has updated one of their key resources that provides information which compares Google services to similar ones under Office 365 and analyzes the services to help you move yourself or users to Office 365 from Google.

While many users who are already invested in the Google service ecosystem are likely to stay put out of convenience, more add-on type services such as Microsoft Planner and Teams continue to make the business level subscriptions of Office 365 very attractive for some organizations.

This series of online guides over on the Office 365 Support site gives you a great resource not only for comparison but also transition as I mentioned above.

The following eight guides are available:

-- OneDrive for Business from Google Drive

-- Word from Docs

-- Excel from Sheets

-- PowerPoint from Slides

-- Outlook Mail from Gmail

-- Outlook Calendar from G Suite Calendar

-- Outlook People from G Suite Contacts

-- OneDrive for Business from Box

Each guide has focused areas including Overview, Work Together, Tips, Help and Training, and app specific information so you can find the specific area you need to learn more about as you prepare for or after making the transition between tools.

But, wait...there's probably more so be sure to follow me on Twitter and Google+.

About the Author

Richard Hay

Senior Content Producer, IT Pro Today (Informa Tech)

I served for 29 plus years in the U.S. Navy and retired as a Master Chief Petty Officer in November 2011. My work background in the Navy was telecommunications related so my hobby of computers fit well with what I did for the Navy. I consider myself a tech geek and enjoy most things in that arena.

My first website – AnotherWin95.com – came online in 1995. Back then I used GeoCities Web Hosting for it and WindowsObserver.com is the result of the work I have done on that site since 1995.

In January 2010 my community contributions were recognized by Microsoft when I received my first Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award for the Windows Operating System. Since then I have been renewed as a Microsoft MVP each subsequent year since that initial award. I am also a member of the inaugural group of Windows Insider MVPs which began in 2016.

I previously hosted the Observed Tech PODCAST for 10 years and 317 episodes and now host a new podcast called Faith, Tech, and Space. 

I began contributing to Penton Technology websites in January 2015 and in April 2017 I was hired as the Senior Content Producer for Penton Technology which is now Informa Tech. In that role, I contribute to ITPro Today and cover operating systems, enterprise technology, and productivity.
