Postini Transition to Google Apps

Google is transitioning Postini services to the Google Apps platform. To prepare for this transition, we have built email security and archiving features into these services:

• Google Apps for Work / Government / Education
  A professional suite of hosted email, calendar, and collaboration services

• Google Apps Vault
  Archiving and discovery services for email

Google Apps email settings also work with non-Gmail mail servers such as Microsoft Exchange, so you don't need to switch to Gmail when transitioning from Postini to Google Apps.*

Important reminders:

• Complete your transition by May 31, 2015
  You must complete your transition by May 31st or your Postini service will be force-migrated or canceled.
  
  
• Postini mailflow to be halted on
  June 15, 2015
  As of June 15, 2015, Google will halt all mail flow through Postini systems as a step towards Postini EOL and shutdown. If you do not take immediate action, you may experience mail flow issues on or after that date. See Actions required to prepare for Postini End of Life (EOL).
  
  

Thank you for your patience as we improved our transition processes. Transitions have resumed:

• Transition deadline dates are provided in the invitation email you receive.
• The majority of GMS-only customers have been invited.
• Halted GMD transitions have resumed.
• GMD customers are being invited. We expect that all remaining GMD customers will be invited in March.

Completing your GMD transition can take up to several weeks, depending on the amount of archive data that needs to be migrated. Rest assured that your Postini services will remain active until you are transitioned to Google Apps.
