- Google Cat takes the last step to challenge Microsoft teams
- Administrators can now migrate the Microsoft team channels to discuss
- Personalization, including the dates ranges, is taken care of
Google takes its battle for supremacy in the online collaboration space at a new level with the public launch of a tool designed to keep users from one of its greatest competitors.
The company officially published a new service, which facilitates the migration of conversations of Microsoft teams in its own cat service.
Announced for the first time in December 2024, the migration tool is generally generally available for all Google Chat users, the company hoping that companies will be able to deploy the platform more easily by experimenting with less time and downtime and friction during the transition.
Goodbye Microsoft teams?
“We are expanding our data migration experience to include the possibility for Google Workspace administrators to migrate channel conversations in Microsoft teams to Google Chat spaces”, had initially noted the company in a blog article up to date with Google Workspace announcing the news.
In the “chat migration” menu by Google Chat, administrators can connect to the Microsoft accounts opposed to import data on the teams. Migration cards and identity cards can be downloaded in the form of CSV files, and administrators will also have the possibility of entering the start date for the migration of messages.
“You can also run a Delta migration, which will migrate all messages added to team channels since the main migration. Messages that are successfully migrated are ignored, “added Google.
Administrators can also produce reports depending on the migration completed to identify the content that jumped, failed or has warned.
In addition, the functionality obliges those who take the action to be Google Super Admins and Microsoft Teams Global Administrators.
All customers still need to use the two platforms (and / or other) should consider activating Mio, a third-party service with which Google has announced its interoperability, alongside teams and zoom, in 2024.
The news arrives at a slightly delicate moment for Microsoft teams, while the company continues its battle with EU regulators concerning the potential antitrust problems.
The last salvo of the legislators could actually show the price of subscriptions to Microsoft Office (including the teams) increase considerably, despite the software undressing teams in 2024.
