Starting May, Google is making it easier for businesses to migrate email into Google Apps using Google’s cloud-based data migration service. The data migration service can be configured via the Admin console to connect to your mail server and migrate email over to Google’s Gmail servers.
You no longer need to download tools like Google Apps Migration for Microsoft Exchange and install them on local servers. In addition, you can also monitor and track your migration from anywhere by logging into your Admin console.
The data migration service currently works for email. Support for contacts and calendar migration is currently being developed.
The email migration feature will be rolled out to all domains soon.
