Curious About Microsoft 365? Let's Break It Down!?

So, I know you are probably thinking what is Microsoft 365??? I'm glad you asked!

Think of Microsoft 365 as the ultimate productivity powerhouse. It's a seamless blend of Office 365, Windows 10 Pro/Windows 11, and Enterprise Mobility + Security, all rolled into one robust platform. This combination delivers enhanced productivity, innovative experiences, and insightful organizational data on a trusted foundation.

Microsoft 365 offers a variety of plans tailored to different needs, including Enterprise, Business (SMB), Education, and Home/Personal levels. Today, let's zoom in on the M365 for Business, particularly the Business Premium licenses that come with your nonprofit grant.

Your 10 granted M365 Business Premium licenses include the following:

• Office 365 Products: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, Publisher, Access, SharePoint, Teams, and Exchange.
• Enterprise Mobility + Security (EMS) E3 Products:
  • Microsoft Intune: Manages your workforce's devices and apps, ensuring secure access to company data.
  • Microsoft Defender: A built-in antivirus that guards against malware and spyware.

While you're likely familiar with core products like Teams, Outlook, and PowerPoint, there are several other apps that often fly under the radar but can significantly enhance productivity and reduce costs.

• Bookings App: Customize appointment details, booking requirements, and service providers to create a seamless booking experience for you and your customers. You can manage multiple booking calendars, each with its own unique setup.
