It’s no secret that these are testing times for small and medium sized businesses. Ignoring the current economic stresses, 60% of SMBs fail within their first three years, and that number is only expected to grow in tandem with the cyberattacks directed at them.

They need help.

If we’re to continue to see them survive and thrive, the tech industry need to ensure that they have access to the same solutions as cloud enterprise.

Events from the past few years have caused businesses of all sizes to start squeezing their margins and shrinking their budgets. But SMBs already have a strict budget, and are struggling more than ever before.

That’s why we’re a big believer of Microsoft 365 Business licences. They’re designed specifically with SMBs in mind and have the power to empower hybrid workforces.

Powerful, secure hybrid working

Employee needs have evolved, and it’s the business owner’s responsibility to meet them. With Microsoft 365 Business Premium, you can do that with ease, enabling secure hybrid working from anywhere in the world.

With Microsoft 365 Business Basic, your team can get easy access to remote working solutions with Teams, OneDrive, and SharePoint, all in one tidy package.

If you’re looking to collaborate remotely, then Business Standard should be your package of choice. The licensing package includes the exact same as Business Basic, paired with cloud based office apps like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

But it’s only Business Premium that has the ability to get businesses to work and collaborate securely from anywhere. It’s the ideal subscription of choice for end users who need secure, remote work solutions, cyberthreat protection and device management.

Deliver cost significant savings

Every business owner wants to hear the words “cost savings”. With Microsoft 365 Business licences, you’ll see the expenditure drop. For instance, by simply consolidating their existing productivity and security point solutions into Business Premium, SMBs can save on average £25 per user, per month.
