- Google Chat makes the last movement to challenge Microsoft teams
- Administrators can now migrate data on Microsoft team channels to chat
- Personalization, including dates ranges, is compatible
Google is taking its battle for supremacy in the online collaboration space to a new level with the public launch of a tool designed to remove users from one of its greatest competitors.
The company has officially published a new service, which facilitates the migration of the conversations of Microsoft teams in its own chat service.
Announced for the first time in December 2024, the migration tool is now generally available for all Google Chat users, with the company hoping that companies can implement the platform more easily experiencing less inactivity and friction time during the transition.
Goodbye Microsoft equipment?
“We are expanding our data migration experience to include the capacity of Google work space administrators to migrate channel conversations in Microsoft teams to Google Chat spaces,” initially the company had initially indicated in a blog post in a blog post Google Workspace update that announces the news.
Within the ‘Chat’ chat migration menu, administrators can connect to Microsoft’s opposite accounts to import equipment data. Migration maps and identity maps can be loaded as CSV files, and administrators will also have the option to enter the start date of the migration messages.
“It can also execute a Delta migration, which will migrate any message added to the equipment channels from primary migration. The messages that are already migrated correctly are omitted, “Google added.
Administrators can also produce reports based on migrations completed to identify the content that skipped, failed or had warnings.
In addition, the characteristic requires that those who take the action are global administrators of Google Super Administrators and Microsoft Teams.
Any customer who still needs to use the two platforms (and/or others) should consider enable Mio, a third -party service with which Google announced its interoperability, along with equipment and zoom, in 2024.
The news comes at a slightly complicated moment for Microsoft teams, since the company continues its battle with EU regulators with respect to possible antimonopoly problems.
The last save of legislators could see that the price of Microsoft Office subscriptions (including equipment) increases significantly, despite the disaggregation of their software equipment in 2024.
