What is Microsoft 365?
It has been over 7 years since Microsoft launched Office 365 – a cloud based Microsoft Office Suite – with tons of other services and features which could benefit enterprises in terms of productivity specifically. With Office 365, Microsoft brought Exchange Online – a hosted messaging application – and then for a smarter communication system, SharePoint Online and Skype for Business Online came with it also. Microsoft also took care of organization security, so they brought Exchange Online Protection and Advanced Threat Protection. To make the IT system smarter, they brought Teams, Office Suite on devices, Flow, Power BI and PowerApps.
Assemble them together
Microsoft completely understand the needs of an organization and how complicated would it be to get different products and services separately or at once. That is why, they assembled certain products and services in a single package and named it Microsoft 365. This package will fulfill the three basic needs of an organization:
- Productivity
- BYOD (Bring-your-own-device)
- Security
Moreover, this package will come in two different plans depending on the size of organization:
- Microsoft 365 for Business (This include: Office 365 Business Premium, 1 TB of OneDrive, Skype for Business, Teams, Yammer, Device Management via Autopilot)
- Microsoft 365 for Enterprise (This include: Office 365 Pro Plus, Skype for Business Broadcast, eDiscovery, Power BI Pro, Exchange Online ATP, Cloud PBX System and EMS)
End Note
This single bundle featuring all the products and services that fulfills the basic needs of an organization would appeal enterprises and businesses and make their life easier. From partner’s point-of-view, they will not have to involve in describing different features and products separately, just a single conversation with customer about Microsoft 365 would make a deal.
