Enter what you run today. The calculator applies the vendor's real licensing rules — core minimums included — and compares three years.
Exchange rate used: 1 € = US$ (ECB reference rate, Sep 2026). Everything is calculated in your browser — nothing you enter is sent anywhere.
How we move it
OneDrive and SharePoint document libraries moved with their folder structure; desktop and mobile sync clients for every user.
Exported from Exchange Online and imported via CalDAV/CardDAV — usable in Thunderbird, iOS, Android and Outlook (with a connector).
Nextcloud Talk for chat, calls and screen sharing, set up so calls also work across company networks.
Nextcloud Office for editing documents, spreadsheets and presentations together; desktop office applications keep opening the same files.
Single sign-on with your directory (LDAP/Active Directory or SAML) and two-factor authentication.
We don't self-host mail. Mailboxes move to a mail provider of your choice; we handle the DNS and the switch.
Straight talk
How a migration runs
Inventory, written plan, fixed quote and date — before any work starts.
Non-critical systems move first; performance and restores proven on your workloads.
A runbook per wave, agreed windows, a written way back for every step.
Wave by wave, outside your business hours. Anything wrong rolls back.
Documentation, runbooks, full admin access — or StayPatched keeps it patched.
Questions
Some. Files sync like OneDrive, calendars live in their mail client, chat moves to Nextcloud Talk. We provide short guides and a switch date everyone knows in advance.
On your servers or with an EU hosting provider you choose. We set it up, back it up and hand over full admin access.
It moves to a proper mail provider — we don't run mail servers. Mailboxes are migrated and DNS is switched in an off-hours window.
Yes — in the browser with Nextcloud Office, or locally with any desktop office suite that opens the files.
Not below 100 users — it isn't sold there. The free Nextcloud Hub, supported by us or StayPatched, covers the core features.
