▤ Summary

Microsoft 365 lets businesses subscribe to a bundle with Office 365, Windows 10 and the company’s mobile device management tools.The early focus for this program was enterprises, but a few months ago, the company also launched a preview version of Microsoft 365 for small and medium businesses.As Caroline Goles, Microsoft’s director of Office SMB, told me, the company recently looked at how it could apply its experience to SMBs as well.The Console also allows admins to ensure that Office 365 gets installed on every new machine, for example, and to enforce that Windows Defender is running on every laptop the company issues.Goles noted that the addition of tools like Connections , Invoicing and Listings is part of the company’s goal to provide more services for the SMB market.
