Details of the request
Kia ora,
Under the Official Information Act 1982, I am requesting the following information:
- The total amount spent by your department on Microsoft Office licences or subscriptions for the most recent financial year (1 July to 30 June).
- A brief description of what this cost covers (e.g. number of users, types of licences, etc.).
- A list of Microsoft products or services (e.g. Outlook, Teams, OneDrive, SharePoint, Azure) currently in use within the organisation.
- The number of staff or users currently covered by Microsoft licensing.
- Whether any core business systems (e.g. document management, internal comms, project management, data storage) are hosted or run through Microsoft platforms (such as SharePoint, Azure, or Teams).
- Details of any enterprise agreements or long-term contracts with Microsoft, including the duration and renewal dates.
- Whether there are any significant non-Microsoft alternatives used in the organisation (e.g. Google Workspace, Zoom, Slack, Dropbox), and if so, for what purpose.
If possible, I would appreciate receiving this information in an accessible format (such as a table or summary document).
