Interviewees and survey respondents expected that Teams Premium would allow them to either retire or partially reduce usage of third-party tools and licenses. While the specific tools being reduced varied by company, they tended to fall into categories of third-party video calling tools, meeting encryption software, and webinar hosting platforms. Teams Premium provided interviewed and surveyed customers with many of the same functionality which they had been paying for separately from third-party vendors. Interviewed customers said that they expected to eliminate some of these licenses due to Teams Premium. This was especially true for third-party video calling, meeting encryption, and webinar licenses. This saves the composite organization $141,000 to $376,000 over three years. Licenses most likely to be named for consolidation due to Teams Premium: • Video calling • Meeting encryption • Webinar hosting Avoided Costs Of Third-Party Licenses Three-year benefit (PV) for deployment of 1,200 licenses $141,000 to $376,000
