Google Workspace FAQ

Exclusive domain names for enterprise: The enterprise version of Google Workspace provides an exclusive corporate domain inbox name, for example: “@microfusion.cloud” gives customers a professional first impression, even in the email address.

Google Admin backend management function: The powerful administrator backend allows the admin to control the enterprise information system with ease, including the use of email and storage space. Apart from ease, it can also be simple and clear, secure, and it can facilitate the management of accounts and data of former employees.

Cloud storage upgrades: Google provides 15GB of free space for general Gmail accounts. After upgrading to the enterprise-level Google Workspace account, storage varies from a minimum of 30GB with no upper limit, depending on the plan that you choose (*unlimited storage is only applicable to specific Google Workspace editions and with minimum purchase limit).

When the admin password is lost, we provide you with urgent rescue assistance, and the distributor’s engineers can immediately handle company mail system emergencies for you.

That depends on the time of domain verification and MX settings. If your enterprise’s domain verification has been completed and no additional settings are required, importing can be completed within as little as 1 day. Since domain verification takes effect only after the decision of the hosting company, processing can be completed in a minimum of 30 minutes, though it could take as long as 48-72 hours.

No. In the preparation period, our team will design an appropriate operation process to avoid downtime. Beyond that, Microfusion’s professional architect team will also complete MX settings and transfer new mail to the Gmail server to avoid dropping messages. Furthermore, Google’s email send/receive services belong to different servers, so mail can still be received normally during relocation.

Folders that have been set in Outlook in the past can be completely migrated through Google data migration from PST file, together with folder settings.

That depends on the number of accounts at your company and the total email volume. The larger those numbers, the more time it will take. In addition, network bandwidth will also affect the speed of the migration. Microfusion’s project team can draft a clear work schedule for you.

It is more appropriate to migrate mail after MX settings have been completed. Once settings are finished, it will not affect the sending/receiving status.

Google internally provides GSMMO/GSMME to assist in migrating from Outlook, Exchange, and other mail systems, to Google Workspace; or you can zip the file content into a PST file and upload it manually; Migration can also be carried out through third-party tools at additional cost.

There are many ways to migrate mail, and Microfusion’s senior architects can provide the solution best adapted to your company’s environment.
