If you have been searching for Office 365 in Kenya, you are in the right place. Office 365 is the older name that most plans used before Microsoft renamed them Microsoft 365. Microsoft still uses the Office 365 name for a few plans, such as Office 365 E1, E3 and E5 and the free Office 365 A1 for schools, but for most organisations buying a Microsoft Office 365 subscription today, Microsoft 365 is the product.
What a Microsoft 365 subscription can include
- Office apps. Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook on the web and mobile, and on the desktop in plans such as Business Standard, Business Premium and E3.
