Microsoft 365 for Business Organisations

The digital equivalent of a Swiss Army knife! It’s a comprehensive subscription service provided by Microsoft. Its primary aim is to enhance productivity, facilitate collaboration, and bolster security across various platforms.

The service encompasses a suite of Microsoft’s most renowned software, all of which are cloud-based. This includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook, among others. These applications are designed to cater to a wide range of tasks, making Microsoft 365 a versatile tool for businesses of all sizes. In addition to these, Microsoft 365 also includes Teams, a platform designed to streamline communication and collaboration within an organization. It also offers OneDrive, a cloud-based storage service for files and data, and SharePoint, a robust platform for creating intranet sites.

Microsoft Business Premium is the ultimate user-based subscription for organisations with under 300 users. Licenses are available on a month-by-month commitment or at a discounted, annual commitment price. Organisations have complete flexibility to mix and match licenses and partners like SPC IT help organisations get maximum use out of the licenses they have.
