After having encouraged their customers to switch to subscription mode on the Cloud Office 365, Microsoft unilaterally increases their prices in March 2022, for example by + 20% for the Office 365 E1 offer.
To the technological "lock-in" is now added the "financial lock-in" and of course, always the CloudAct risk on data.
GOFAST, THE OPEN SOURCE ALTERNATIVE TO NOT LET YOURSELF BE LOCKED IN !
In contrast, with the GoFAST Digital Workplace offer, CEO-Vision offers :
- a dedicated platform with your data wherever you want (OnPremise or at your hosting partner, possible in SecNumCloud at 3DS Outscale).
- OnlyOffice suit compatible MS-Office with the possibility of co-editing in real time and without any installation on the PC.
- a price of around € 3 / user / month for a structure of 1,500 users (flat-rate basis for the dedicated platform + € 2 / user / month).
- open standards guaranteeing reversibility and, thanks to Open Source, free use if the subscription is not renewed.
Therefore, GoFAST saves over 3 years for 1,500 users
up to € 290,000 compared to Microsoft's Office 365 E1 (excluding messaging).
CIOs ARE LOOKING FOR AN ALTERNATIVE TO GAFAM SINCE A LONG TIME
The main objectives are :
- cost reduction
- more independence from pricing / license policies
- better control of the data with sovereign solutions and an "Onpremise" hosting
As a reminder, regarding the need for independence and sovereignty, Cigref had published "L'Open-source, une alternative aux Grands Fournisseurs"(English version: "Open source, an alternative to major IT providers") in 2018.
Historically, replacing these Microsoft tools was complicated (mainly the Office Suite and messaging). Today, software publishers like CEO-Vision not only can offer relevant alternatives that meet the concerns of CIOs, but these solutions are also more effective when it comes to meeting the needs of the business lines (processes, document management, collaborative work, research, telecommuting, etc.)
