Our clients save at least 12% when migrating their services to Microsoft 365, and up to 65% when using the online platform.

I would like to clarify initially that this is not a matter of preferences at the level of “look and feel” or any other type of subjective connotation. I am only sharing my personal experience related to cost reduction, which is a topic we proactively seek for our clients.

Let’s get straight to the point:

The current cheapest price for Google Workspace is $6 USD per month, with a storage capacity of 30 GB per user, and if I am not mistaken, this storage is shared with Drive.

Microsoft offers MS 365 Business Basic for $5 USD per month with an annual subscription. Its storage per mailbox is 50 GB per user and OneDrive is 1 TB.

(Sorry, I don’t get along very well with APA standards)

Most organizations in one way or another use Microsoft Office. In several cases, when they acquire it legally, they use a plan that represents an investment of $8.25 USD (Microsoft 365 Applications Package) per month with an annual subscription. They have this Office plan and additionally maintain their GMAIL “Business Starter” email for $6.00 per month. Therefore, adding both, they pay $14.25 USD monthly.

If you acquire a Microsoft 365 Business Standard plan in which you invest $12.50 USD per month, you have email with 50 GB, 1 TB of storage in OneDrive, and the alternative to legally install all your Office applications on up to 5 devices. You can also combine plans, configuring some users with Microsoft Office Basic in which you invest $5 USD per month and use your Office 100% online. I recommend this for users who require basic Office functions, who generally have a stable Internet connection and do not need to keep the complete applications installed on their computer.

In this way, if we use Microsoft 365 Business Standard, we save $1.75 USD per month per office automation and email package, or $8.25 per month when using Microsoft 365 Business Basic with online applications.

This is just one of the benefits you get by unifying these services. If you want to know a little more about it, we can advise you without obligation in the following WhatsApp.
