As a business tool, Microsoft 365 opens many doors for better connectivity, productivity and security. Let’s expand on some of the business growth opportunities that lie within Microsoft 365 and why you should embrace the solution.

Microsoft 365 for business

Microsoft designed Microsoft 365 Business for small and medium-sized business with no more than 300 users.

With Microsoft 365 Business, companies get not only Microsoft Office 365 but also underlying security and MDM features. Security comes in the form of threat detection, Information Protection policies, and continuous data backup. Admins can manage devices across multiple platforms, including Windows, Android, macOS, and iOS.

As well as a business subscription, they also offer Microsoft 365 Enterprise for larger organisations and Microsoft 365 Education for schools and other places of learning.

Why Microsoft 365?

We’ve been familiar with most of the Microsoft 365 components for a while now, so why is this bundle so important?

Not only is it the perfect opportunity for smaller businesses to get Windows 10 Pro licenses and EMS capabilities for not much more than the current Office 365 subscription cost. Microsoft 365 brings together the best of Office 365 with simple device management and security to connect people and information in a business forward way.
