Easily Migrate Google Workspace Calendar to Office 365

Don’t you think out of all the categories- emails, contacts, tasks, calendar is the one to which we have paid the least attention?

A calendar is something that keeps the organizations or individuals the most productive. From scheduling appointments, noting down tasks to writing down reminders. Calendars have played a huge role, that we haven’t paid much heed to.

However, there are different scenarios when the organization that was earlier using Google Workspace now wants to move to Office 365.

Both Google Workspace and office 365 are providing their services on the cloud. When a user decides to move its calendar or any other data from Google workspace to Office 365 there must be a reason behind it.

Office 365 is a platform that is used by larger organizations. So, when the size of the organization increases, there are high chances they will move to Office 365. Not to forget the features, strong security, and others that pull the organizations towards it.

When migrating from one cloud platform to another the admin is required to move the entire data of the organization to the destination platform. Keep in mind not to leave the calendars data behind.
