over emails, contacts and calendars, but not documents 74% of EU business leaders are worried about US tech vendors With so many European governments and public bodies starting to opt for sovereign, open-source software options in a bid to reduce reliance on foreign tech vendors, Switzerland's Proton has expanded its Easy Switch for Business to support Microsoft 365 migrations.

Previously, Easy Switch was only available for Google Workspace customers,
but now, both major US vendors are being threatened by customers potentially switching to Proton. For M365 in particular, Proton will automatically handle migration across three main categories emails, contacts and calendars.

Migration is designed to be pretty easy, so admins only need to choose which data to migrate, connect to the relevant M365 account and select which user accounts to transfer.

But importantly, Proton's designed the process not to be disruptive, so users can continue to use their existing Microsoft 365 accounts in the meantime.
For example, they can send emails from Proton or Microsoft during the transition, meaning workers are unlikely to even know what's going on behind the scenes while admins are busy configuring the migration.

However, while the Easy Switch migration tools might help guide admins
through some of the more complex elements of switching email accounts,
there's no simple switch for other parts of the M365 stack, like file
storage. "Every week we hear from IT leaders who thought switching email providers would take months of disruption," Chief Operating Officer Raphael Auphan explained. Are you a pro?
