It adds the desktop Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook apps and Teams webinars to business email, Teams and 1 TB of storage, for organisations of up to 300 users.
Microsoft 365 Business Standard is the plan for Kenyan teams that create and collaborate all day: accountants building budgets in desktop Excel, lawyers and consultants drafting in Word, school bursars preparing termly reports and project teams presenting to boards or donors. Each person gets the full desktop apps, can co-author the same file with colleagues in real time and can host Teams webinars for clients, members or parents.
