Case Study: Nonprofit Cuts IT Costs 40% with Cloud Migration

Nonprofit Cloud Migration Case Study

How TVG migrated a 50-person LA nonprofit to Microsoft 365 — saving 60% on IT costs with zero downtime.

The Challenge: A 50-person nonprofit in Los Angeles was running aging on-premise servers that crashed regularly. Email went down multiple times per month. Staff couldn’t collaborate remotely. And the IT budget was consuming resources that should have gone to programs.

The TVG Response: We migrated the entire organization to Microsoft 365 (free nonprofit licensing), deployed cloud-based file sharing, and eliminated the need for on-premise servers — saving the organization over $48,000/year in IT costs.
