This is a very simple transition: Office 365 business plans will now become Microsoft 365 business plans. This means it’s a new name, but still the same great plan at the same price. In terms of the IONOS package changes, please keep in mind the following:
OfficeBusiness will now be called Microsoft 365 Business Basic
OfficePremium Plus will now be called Microsoft 365 Business Standard
These name changes are to display the excellent range of features and benefits in this subscription model more clearly. Microsoft 365 still has everything great about Office 365, including the useful products, cloud service, and cutting-edge security, but the name change will assist customers to find the perfect plan for the right situation. This means a business enterprise, a small to medium-sized business, or an individual, can all find the right plan faster and easier.
Despite the fact that the business plan names have changed, IONOS will keep the products and prices the same. The same deals will simply be available under a new name. If your business already has an existing Office 365 Business subscription, then the name change to Microsoft 365 still means no action is needed from you. Your Office 365 subscription will simply now be called Microsoft 365. You will be able to see the updated name via your admin portal and monthly billing reports.
Microsoft 365 will continue to be a powerful cloud-based subscription model for Microsoft Office products such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and much more. This subscription means that you’ll always have the latest Microsoft product version whenever it’s released and there’s no need re-purchase any update. Microsoft 365 is designed so that documents can be accessed from any device no matter where you are. This helps you to finish work efficiently and return to what matters most in your life. Microsoft 365 comes with the best office apps, modern cloud functionality, and top-of-the-line security.
