What's Next After Migration: Day 1 Readiness in Google Workspace

Achieving Day 1 Readiness

The most stressful part of a migration isn't the data transfer—it's Monday morning when 500 employees log into a new system.

Day 1 Readiness requires:

1. Live Mail Flow Testing: Sending test emails from external domains (Yahoo, Outlook) to ensure the MX records have propagated correctly.
2. Mobile Device Provisioning: Using Google Endpoint Management to automatically push the Gmail and Drive apps to employee phones.
3. Floor Walkers: Having IT staff physically (or virtually) present to help users find their migrated folders and set up their email signatures.
