Taking advantage of Microsoft's free discounts for State Parties requires talent and experience in Microsoft administration, of which the TAG team has five years of experience. Including for our MnGOP Party Units around Minnesota.
State Exec must vote to enable those clients of TAG and all of our Party Units to have the opportunities to opt-in to this program.
Advanced, add-on features like automated PCR e-receipts sent immediately by email (as can be adapted for multiple processing options) would be available for pennies.
The OneDrive storage feature alone beats the cost of a DropBox subscription.
Additionally, free Google Drive and paid Google Workspace accounts are , by the terms in the fine print, not offering customers like Party Units exclusive ownership, full privacy, or property rights of the information and materials stored and activity.
Microsoft, on the other hand, protects private property stored and created using M365 and related software.
Microsoft collaborative tools bring together useful resources familiar to everyone. State Exec can make the discounted products available to BPOU or CD Units to choose them, if they wish. No costs to the State Party.
