Microsoft 365 & Google Workspace Migration in Saudi Arabia

We move Saudi organisations between Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace in both directions: mail, calendars, contacts, files and user accounts. Migrations run in stages, with mailboxes synchronised and checked before the MX record is switched, so staff keep working through the move and nothing is stranded on the old tenant. Delivery and on-site support across Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam.

What to Plan Before an Email Platform Migration in Saudi Arabia

Moving between Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace involves more than copying mailboxes. A complete engagement covers user accounts, mail history, calendars, contacts, shared drives, groups and aliases, so staff find their data where they expect it on the new platform. Saudi organisations also need Arabic content checked. Mailbox, folder and display names written in Arabic should appear correctly after cutover, and that check is built into the work. Tenant-to-tenant moves follow the same method, which helps when two entities combine or an organisation restructures its Microsoft 365 environment.

A migration usually runs in four phases. Assessment establishes the user count, sites, shared resources and timeline. Design maps accounts, groups and aliases to the target platform, confirms the licence plan and sets the order of migration batches. In deployment, mailboxes and files are synchronised in stages and verified before the MX record is switched, so incoming mail moves only once the new environment is ready. Support then covers the period after cutover, when users reconnect devices and raise questions. On-site support is available in Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam.

Typical reasons for this service include consolidating platforms after a merger, standardising on one collaboration suite across several branches, or changing licensing as the organisation grows. Shabackat supplies Microsoft 365 Business Basic and Microsoft 365 Business Premium per-user licences, so licensing and migration can be quoted together rather than sourced separately. Organisations planning a wider move to the cloud may also find the cloud migration checklist linked on this page useful. It covers data residency, licensing and downtime windows from a Saudi SME perspective.

To request a migration, tell us your current platform, the target platform, the number of users, the sites involved and your preferred timeline. Shabackat will reply with a specification and a written quotation. You can send these details through the quote form on this page or by WhatsApp or phone on +966 55 826 9606. If you also need licences, list the plan you are considering and the number of users so it can be included in the same quotation.

Frequently asked questions

The migration runs in stages. Mailboxes are synchronised and checked before the MX record is switched, so staff keep working on the existing platform throughout the move. Incoming mail is redirected only once the new environment has been verified, and no data is left stranded on the old tenant.

Yes. Shabackat migrates in both directions between Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. We also handle tenant-to-tenant moves. Mail, calendars, contacts, shared drives, groups, aliases and user accounts are carried across to the target platform.

Arabic mailbox names, folder names and display names are verified after cutover as part of the service. This check confirms they appear intact on the new platform, which matters for Saudi organisations whose users label mail and folders in Arabic.
