This isn’t just about Emails though. Companies that went to outlook and teams most likely pivoted to the MS cloud options like SharePoint and azure.
Sure there are alternatives available, but all data on there would be lost. Even with backups, it would take months to get another system running and properly migrate everything.
It’s doable but sure it would cost. Our company last year migrated from AWS to Azure and it does take time to set everything up again for sure. But that is pretty much only relevant for tech companies. And while it might hinder and delay their development teams, for administration and management I feel it is indeed only emails and document storage. And some custom tools to fulfil local laws. But in europe that part anyway runs on SAP and european tools.
So basically you throw off your development schedule by some months and that’s it. It’s not for free but it likely wont tank the company or even the project.
