User Account Migration

Migrate shared contacts

Level of Effort:

Low

You should migrate shared contact information for any users and distribution lists that
you aren’t fully activating in Google Apps during this phase. Doing so allows your
early adopters to see the shared contact information for all users and distribution lists
from within Google Apps.

Note:

During the Global Go Live phase, you’ll migrate your distribution lists into

Google Groups; for now, you’ll simply migrate their shared contact information.

Consult the documentation for your chosen user provisioning tool to learn more
about migrating contacts.

Global Go Live

Finish provisioning users

Level of Effort:

Moderate

During the Global Go Live phase, you’ll provision user accounts for any employees
that haven’t been provisioned yet, using the same method you used during the Early
Adopters phase.

Migrate distribution lists into Google Groups

Level of Effort:

Low

Use your provisioning tool to migrate your legacy system’s distribution lists into
Google Groups. Google Groups lets users communicate and control access to
documents more easily.
