CKWGA We ended up staying with SS... for now.... users are too wed to the worksheet like functionality + Gantt charts... would have loved to use MS product, but unfortunately these don't really have anything that is similar... we did significantly reduce the number of paid licenses. We took an approach that only a couple people in each dept. can author pages, then everyone else uses free licenses. So we basically stayed at the say annual cost but cutting licensed users. Can't believe this as been a good move for SS as far as paid user license counts.

Two SS employees told us that we would not lose any functionality if we switched to a different SS license; unfortunately, that did not turn out to be the case as when we switched to a different license platform last week, we lost functionality that we needed and SS says that can't switch us back to our previous license.
