With so many different options for Businesses which is right for you. In this weeks article I shall outline the difference and pro and cons to each of their options.

Microsoft has a series of Office 365 plans known as the “Business” editions. There are three options within Office 365 Business: Office 365 Business Premium, Office 365 Business, and Office 365 Business Essentials. They contain the most basic Office 365 features. This article will compare the differences between the Office 365 Business versions.

Office 365 Business

Office 365 Business allows you to use programs like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint on your desktop computer, but it does not provide you with an email address. It is also the only plan that doesn’t include SharePoint, Skype for Business, Yammer, or Teams, so keep that in mind as well.

Other key features are

• Monthly updates
  Get the latest features and capabilities with fully installed and always up-to-date versions of Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint for Windows or Mac, OneNote ( features vary), and Access and Publisher (PC only).

• Works across multiple devices
  Get the fully installed Office apps on multiple PCs, Macs, tablets, and mobile devices (including Windows, iOS, and Android).
