Expiration Reminder vs Microsoft 365: Which is a better fit?

Mary M.: Hi, I'm Mary. I've been with Expiration Reminder for a year and a half now. A little bit about my company. I work for Vantage Hospice. I'm an office manager as well as the HR manager. With that being said, we have over 125 employees, about 40 doctors on staff, so it's constantly needing items such as compliance items, those types of things. With Expiration Reminder, it has literally helped me navigate what each doctor is needing, what each employee is needing, as well as their compliance items that are needed. I have always given Expiration Reminder, from the first week that I used them, a five star. They have been phenomenal. Before switching over to Expiration Reminder, we were in a Stone Age so we basically used spreadsheets to keep track of everything. Because spreadsheets can get lost, you can delete them on accident, we were also, as our backup, was using a calendar, so imagine putting over 1,000 expirations on a calendar and relying on that. With Expiration Reminder in place, we no longer have to do that because Expiration Reminder literally reminds us and reminds the employee. The decision to switch over to Expiration Reminder was literally a no-brainer. Again, we were in a Stone Age, we were using calendars, we were using a spreadsheet. The number one reason why we switched because, of course, I googled so many companies. I was on the phone hours doing Zoom calls, trying to research all of these companies, and two of the biggest things stood out with Expiration Reminder. First of all, the cost. The cost was phenomenal. I mean, just the cost of that ... I mean, it literally, and they gave you more so it wasn't just the cost but everything that they gave you for that price, meaning they would contact the employee for you. The setup fee, they were running a promotion so even the setup fee itself, it literally saved us tons of dollars. Just those two things in itself, the setup fee, the cost, and exactly what Expiration does, actually reaches out to all of our employees and reminds us, it was a no-brainer for us. The integration and onboarding was no work for me, literally at all, because they have a back room that literally does all of that for you. It was two young ladies that helped me through every single thing. They set up every employee into the system, then they would call me every once in a while to ensure that they put them under the right managers, and any questions that I have because you could set up Reminder how you want it. It could remind them in 30 days, five days, it could only send it to managers and not to the employee themselves. There's always a customer service person that I can speak to directly or even chat with on a computer that will answer any questions that I have, but it was absolutely no work for me. They did everything for me, but then going forward, every time I got a new employee I would just add that new employee into the system, but that's part of onboarding. As long as I didn't have to onboard 150 people into the system, they did all that work for me. The advice that I would give you about Expiration Reminder, just know that I did the research for you. This is honestly, because my job at Vantage Hospice is not just to ensure that our employees are taken care of, but it's also to ensure that I get the best cost of anything, any platform that I bring on that will do well for the company but also save them money. So just know, you don't have to go out and research. I researched about eight companies. I'm not going to name them but I researched eight companies before I decided to go with Expiration Reminder to ensure I was not only going with a very reputable company but to ensure that everything that they said, that they were going to do, they did. Again, it was a no brainer. Versus you go and do your research, you can easily look up Expiration Reminder, they will do a demo with you. You can cancel at any time and the cost in itself is more than a reason why you should go with them.

Pete S.: Hello, I am Peter. I am the owner of Two Paths Investment Partners. We are a family owned real estate business, operating multifamily properties in different states and I use Microsoft 365 and I would rate that a five in terms of my review. Before Microsoft's 365, I was just using some various ancillary products that weren't tied together. I couldn't cut and paste easily. I couldn't really produce professional type documents and when Microsoft 365 was available, not only I was able to connect on the internet and all my devices, but level of my work increased, the professional work. So it's indispensable at this point. I use 365 because it's really the gold standard on the market and it's one that when I make presentations or produce documents for other investors or partners or vendors or anyone like that, they really prefer to have it in that type of format. They can use that. It's easy to share, easy for them to read. So it's really a must have product. Yeah, it was really intuitive. It was really a sort of simple, intuitive process from the start. Getting on and learning and then having the online learning when I needed to find out how to do something, complete a task, improve my documents, it was easy to access through the 365 help Windows or on the internet as needed. So it's been really terrific without needing all kinds of third party IT support. You really can use it for my business. Being a small business, it's, again, fairly indispensable. Yeah, I would recommend 365 for anyone looking to take their business really to a professional level, as well as being able to utilize technology to lower their own costs. It really is sort of a partner in your business. So if you're doing certain tasks or using technology, you can use 365 really to kind of scale your business and grow with you. So it's really applicable for anyone in business or even in your personal life to use technology and able to free your time to do other things and complete tasks.
