@Ian: Vinci PLC chose BitTitan as their resource in migrating from Google Apps to Microsoft Exchange Server. Customers with questions about migrations might also enquire with Binary Tree or Migration Wiz. In addition, I encourage those evaluating or using Office 365 to reach out to the Office 365 community (http://bit.ly/hHT7HP) as their resource for specific migration questions.

Also, are there any export tools now or any plans for them? It may be beneficial for people to know about them.

"Given the lack of easy export tools in Google Apps"

This is misleading, especially considering the lack of Office 365 export capabilities. Google provides step-by-step instructions for migrating to/from most of their products.

I've scripted several of these via the API for transfers between divisions. Migrating between entire systems should be no problem for any competent administrator. I would like to know why this is considered valid to talk about in a case study when the actual case is that Office 365 lacks any (let alone "easy") export tools which is a major reason why I could not consider using Office 365 after the beta period.
