- When organisations choose competitors instead
  - For large-scale frontline engagement (users without email, BYOD, push-first communications), employee-communications platforms are frequently shortlisted.
  - When organisational governance requires Microsoft-native solutions, SharePoint/Viva and overlay vendors are frequently chosen.
