I successfully lobbied my university board to switch to what is now called G Suite, which is free for educational users. The main motivation was economic: we simply couldn't afford to keep expanding our server hardware infrastructure to carry the exploding load, but more importantly the corporate salary structure didn't allow us to pay competitive rates to admins.
