How to escape Microsoft 365
Whether your organization is facing a steep price hike after Microsoft's decision to sunset most of its free nonprofit plans — or you're simply done using tools from a company deeply entangled in war profiteering, surveillance tech, and environmental harm — there's a better way forward.
Tools we recommend
Depending on your values, budget, and team needs, we'll help you choose the right tools and understand the tradeoffs.
| Microsoft 365 Tool | Alternative Options |
|---|---|
| Outlook Email | Google Workspace, Migadu, Proton Mail |
| Office Apps | Google Docs/Sheets/Slides, LibreOffice |
| Teams | Slack, Matrix/Element, Zoom |
| OneDrive | Google Drive, Proton Drive |
| SharePoint | Notion, ClickUp |
How we'll get there
Email & calendars
Migrate your mailboxes, calendars, contacts, and rules to a new provider.
File storage & sharing
Transfer documents, spreadsheets, and shared drives to a new system without creating a mess.
User access & security
Set up strong account protections, two-factor auth, and admin controls in the new system.
Domain setup & DNS
Reconfigure your domain's MX, SPF, DKIM, and other records for smooth email delivery.
Staff training & onboarding
Ensure your team knows how to use the new tools without friction or confusion.
Cleanup & exit
Shut down Microsoft services in a way that doesn't interrupt your work or leave gaps in compliance.
What you should NOT do
Ideal for…
- Nonprofit organizations with up to 50 staff
- Teams that care about digital security and autonomy
- Teams without a dedicated IT team
- Any team that wants values-aligned tools (and tech support that isn't condescending)
