Why each option
Moving to Microsoft 365 shifts IT infrastructure to a cloud subscription model, replacing on-premises servers with managed cloud services. This affects costs, scalability, and maintenance responsibilities.
Microsoft 365 uses a per-user, per-month subscription pricing model, which replaces unpredictable capital expenditures with consistent, predictable operational costs that are easier to budget for.
Migrating to Microsoft 365 eliminates the need for on-premises Exchange Server entirely, so Exchange Server CAL costs would decrease or be eliminated rather than increase.
Microsoft 365 reduces reliance on on-premises Windows Server infrastructure, so Windows Server CAL costs would decrease or be eliminated, not increase.
Microsoft 365 is a cloud-based platform hosted on Microsoft's global infrastructure, allowing organizations to easily scale up or down the number of licensed users without investing in additional hardware or server capacity.
By migrating to Microsoft 365, the company offloads the management, patching, updating, and maintenance of on-premises servers (such as Exchange and SharePoint) to Microsoft, significantly reducing the burden on internal IT staff.
