Trusted by Warner Bros
Most IT consultants have set up Google Workspace a handful of times. We have completed 500+ deployments since 2012 — including complex Microsoft 365 tenant migrations, HIPAA-regulated healthcare environments, and post-acquisition consolidations that most consultants decline to take on. We are a certified Google Cloud Partner, which means our engineers pass annual Google certification exams and our deployment history is verified by Google directly. We also handle the pieces most consultants skip: email authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), Okta integration for centralized identity, Proofpoint for email security, and the ongoing managed services that keep your environment healthy after go-live.
Every engagement starts with your business problem. We scope only what you need — no bundled services you won't use.
These are the configurations we build most often. If yours isn't here, we've almost certainly handled something harder.
The most common migration we run. We handle tenant-to-tenant data transfer, calendar and contact migration, SharePoint/OneDrive to Google Drive mapping, Teams to Google Meet transition, and DNS/MX cutover — coordinated so no email is lost. Users arrive on Monday to a fully configured Google environment.
Deploying Okta with Google Workspace gives you centralized identity management: SAML 2.0-based SSO, Okta-managed MFA replacing Google's built-in 2FA, and automated provisioning/deprovisioning tied to your HRIS. We configure the full integration including Google as a SAML app in Okta, Universal Directory sync, and group-based license assignment.
Healthcare organizations must execute a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with Google and configure specific controls before Google Workspace is HIPAA-compliant. We handle the BAA, configure Core Services scope, disable non-BAA-covered apps, set up audit logging, and configure DLP to detect PHI in Gmail and Drive — so your compliance team can sign off.
Google now requires SPF, DKIM, and DMARC for bulk senders, and poor email authentication causes deliverability problems for all organizations. We configure SPF records, enable DKIM signing in Google Admin, set DMARC policy to enforcement, and set up DMARC reporting so you can monitor alignment across all your sending sources.
Mergers and acquisitions leave organizations with two Google Workspace tenants that need to be consolidated — or one tenant that needs to absorb an Exchange environment. We've done dozens of these. Domain ownership transfer, user merges, Drive migration, and admin policy unification handled without disruption to either business.
Google's built-in spam filtering is good but not enough for organizations in regulated industries or high-phishing-target sectors. We deploy Proofpoint Essentials as a gateway in front of Google Workspace: inbound filtering, outbound DLP, email encryption, and emergency inbox — all with MX routing configured so Google never sees unfiltered mail.
Most organizations use Gmail and Drive. Here's the full platform — and what you're probably leaving on the table.
Predictable steps. Fixed pricing. No surprises at go-live.
We review your current environment — email platform, user count, security posture, and integration requirements. You leave with a clear picture of what's needed and why.
Plain-English project plan: milestones, timeline, and a fixed fee. No hourly billing surprises. Pilot migration included so you see the result before full cutover.
Pilot group migrates first. We validate data integrity, test calendar sync, and confirm mail flow before touching your full user base. DNS cutover happens only after sign-off.
Users receive role-based training before go-live. Admin team gets full documentation and hands-on Admin Console training. Managed Services available for ongoing administration.
Most migrations complete in 3–5 business days. Small environments under 25 mailboxes are often done in 24–48 hours. Larger migrations with complex SharePoint or shared drive requirements are phased over 1–3 weeks. We provide a detailed timeline after the free discovery call.
Google Cloud Partners are vetted resellers and consultants that meet strict requirements around certified engineers, deployment history, and customer satisfaction. Iron Cove Solutions has been a certified Google Cloud Partner since 2012 — meaning our consultants pass annual Google certification exams and our deployment history is verified by Google.
Yes. We run both environments in parallel during migration — users continue sending and receiving email throughout. MX records only switch after full data validation. We have completed hundreds of Microsoft-to-Google migrations without a single reported email loss.
Yes. We coordinate all DNS changes for the mail flow cutover, configure SPF and DKIM for Google Workspace, and set DMARC to enforcement policy. We also set up DMARC reporting so you can monitor alignment across all your sending sources. If you need DNS host access, we walk you through how to grant it securely.
Email Migration Services →Google Workspace can be configured for HIPAA compliance, but it is not HIPAA compliant out of the box. You must execute a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with Google, configure Core Services scope, disable certain consumer-facing features, and implement DLP and audit logging. We handle the full HIPAA configuration as part of our healthcare deployments.
For email migrations, Drive files are not affected — they stay in place. When migrating from Microsoft 365, we can also migrate SharePoint and OneDrive content to Google Shared Drives as a separate workstream, mapped to your team structure. All file migrations include a pre-migration inventory and post-migration verification before we close the project.
Call us at (213) 545-0601 or use the contact form on this page. We will schedule a free 30-minute discovery call, review your current environment, and send you a scoped proposal within 2 business days — no obligation.
Yes — optimization and cleanup is a common engagement. We audit your Admin Console, identify security gaps, clean up Drive permissions, configure email authentication, and document your environment. Most clients who have had Google Workspace for 2+ years have significant security and licensing improvements available.
Pricing depends on the scope: migration complexity, user count, security requirements, and training needs. A standard migration for 25–100 users typically ranges from $3,500–$8,000. Implementation-only (no migration) starts around $2,500. We provide fixed-fee quotes — no hourly billing — after the free discovery call.
These are the most common warning signs we find in environments that were set up and never revisited.
If two or more of these sound familiar, it's worth a conversation.
30-minute call. We review your current environment, identify gaps, and tell you exactly what a migration or implementation would involve. No obligation. No pitch deck. A real conversation with a certified Google Cloud consultant.
