> Replacing it with Slack means paying $8-12 per user per month on top of your existing Office costs, because you still need Outlook, Word, Excel, and SharePoint. For a 500-person company, that's an additional $48,000-72,000 annually for a tool that overlaps with something you've already paid for.

That's much harder to measure though, and to reduce to a dollar value. This is the cause of much of the dysfunction in the modern world.
