"Share on X") ![Image 9](https://storage.googleapis.com/prod-fiber/blog/default_blue.svg) We’re excited to announce the beta release of a new, simplified way for very small and small-sized businesses to [import their users from Microsoft to Google Workspace when setting up their Workspace account](https://knowledge.workspace.google.com/admin/getting-started/import-business-data-during-setup) for the first time. This new feature allows these businesses and educational institutions to automatically copy their existing Microsoft users into Google Workspace. Once you connect to Microsoft, the system automatically identifies users in your Microsoft account and prepares to add them in your new Google Workspace account. This feature significantly reduces the time and effort of switching from Microsoft and helps you get your organization up and running in no time. You can complete the import in a single click after connecting to your Microsoft business account.
