<ZulipNote> Check out the dedicated guides for moving to Zulip from [Slack](/help/moving-from-slack), [Microsoft Teams](/help/moving-from-teams), [Discord](/help/moving-from-discord), and [more](/help/migrating-from-other-chat-tools). </ZulipNote> <MovingToZulipIntro />The following steps are described in more detail below:
<Steps> 1. [Create your organization](#create-your-organization). 1. [Sign up for a plan](#sign-up-for-a-plan). 1. [Configure your organization](#configure-your-organization). 1. [Review and update communication policies](#review-and-update-communication-policies). 1. [Prepare users for the transition](#prepare-users-for-the-transition). 1. [Invite users to join](#invite-users-to-join). </Steps>Each organization is unique, but we hope these common practices will help you think through the transition process in your own context.
You can create a new Zulip Cloud organization in less than two minutes. Setting up a self-hosted server will take a bit longer, but is easy to do with Zulip's robust installer.
Zulip has import tools for Slack, Mattermost and Rocket.Chat. You can import your organization's chat data, including message history, users, channels, and custom emoji. To inquire about importing data from another product, contact Zulip support.
Data is imported into Zulip as a new organization, so the best time to import is when your team is about to start using Zulip for day-to-day work. This may be part of your evaluation process, or after you've made the decision to move to Zulip.
