Migrating to Microsoft 365 can be a game-changer for companies looking to streamline operations and reduce costs. Here are several ways businesses can save money by leveraging the services offered by Compass365:

Reduced IT Infrastructure Costs

Migrating to Microsoft 365 eliminates the need for maintaining extensive on-premises infrastructure. By moving to the cloud, companies can significantly reduce expenses related to hardware, maintenance, and energy consumption. This is especially true if they’ve been maintaining multiple servers for disaster recovery and business continuity.  Running SharePoint Server on-premises with fail-over and load balancing requires a minimum of four servers, which can all be retired by moving to SharePoint Online.

If your on-premises document management, collaboration, intranet, or business process management system is nearing end-of-life, consider moving to Microsoft 365 instead of investing in that next upgrade.  See how Sakata Seed America modernized their quality management process while reducing IT infrastructure by moving to Microsoft 365 in our case study: Sakata Seed America: Digital Transformation with Compass365 – Compass 365

Enhanced Collaboration and Productivity

Microsoft 365 tools like Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive facilitate seamless collaboration among employees, regardless of their location, but is only effective if everyone on the team is using the same tools. If your company has organically adopted multiple collaboration and communication platforms in recent years, consolidating to Microsoft 365 can improve collaboration and reduce redundant licensing costs.

Reduced Software Costs and IT Complexity

Many of our customers acquire Microsoft 365 to replace Exchange Server or for Teams virtual meetings and communications.  Once they have the licenses in place, they realize how many other systems can be consolidated by migrating those workloads into the cloud.  Microsoft 365 can replace stand-alone electronic document management, business process management, project management, virtual meeting, and a variety of other common technologies.

By consolidating various software needs into a single Microsoft 365 subscription, companies can reduce the costs associated with multiple software licenses. This consolidation simplifies license management and ensures that businesses are not paying for redundant or unused software.  It also simplifies vendor management and the complexity of integrating and securing disparate systems.

Improved Document Management, Storage, and Distribution

Microsoft 365 offers robust document management solutions through SharePoint and OneDrive. These tools provide secure storage, easy access, and efficient sharing of documents, reducing the need for physical storage and paper-based processes. Transitioning to electronic document management cuts down on physical storage, printing, and document shipping costs.  It also reduces the risk of losing vital company records and makes information more accessible when needed.

Scalable Solutions

Microsoft 365 provides scalable solutions that can grow with your business. Companies can easily adjust their subscription plans based on their current needs, avoiding the costs associated with over-provisioning or under-utilizing resources. This flexibility ensures that businesses only pay for what they use, optimizing their budget.
