Microsoft 365 with Office

It’s a simple transition: Office 365 business plans will now become Microsoft 365 business plans. This means it’s a brand new name, yet still with 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 have been implemented to more clearly display the range of features and benefits in this subscription model. Microsoft 365 still has everything great about Office 365, including the useful products, cloud service, and top security, but the name change will allow 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.

Even though the business plan names have changed, IONOS will not make any changes to the prices or the products included in the plan. The same deals will just be available under a new name. Of course, many businesses already have an existing Office 365 Business subscription, but the name change to Microsoft 365 still means no action is required from you. Your Office 365 subscription will be called Microsoft 365. You can find the updated name via your admin portal and monthly billing reports.

Rest assured that Microsoft 365 will remain a powerful cloud-based subscription model for Microsoft Office products like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and so much more. This subscription means that you will always have the newest Microsoft product version when it’s released – you won’t have to repurchase any new updated version. Microsoft 365 is created so that documents can be accessed from any device, regardless of your location. This helps you to finish work quickly and effectively and go back to what is most important in your life. Microsoft 365 comes with the best office apps, modern cloud functionality, and top-of-the-line security.

An Microsoft 365 subscription includes the complete current range of Microsoft Office products, including individual applications such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and more. The latest version is Office 2021. Rather than having to constantly buy the latest version of Office, the subscription only needs to be completed once. You then pay a monthly fee for Office 365 and benefit from complete flexibility, with the latest versions of all applications at your disposal. Continuous updates also protect you from any security risks that leave you vulnerable to viruses and malware. Additionally, the Office 365 subscription allows you to access your documents, tables, emails and files from web browsers or mobile apps, affording you maximum mobility. This brings your office to you, wherever you are. How you use your Office 2021, and from which device, is entirely up to you.

Microsoft 365 is a monthly subscription service, meaning you pay a small fee every month rather than one large initial payment, as the traditional Microsoft Office requires. As you also no longer have to purchase newer versions of Office thanks to the updates, the subscription service actually saves you money. Administrative tasks and time spent on installing and setting up new software versions are also greatly minimized. Furthermore, maintenance effort is reduced as the Microsoft 365 subscription guarantees you will automatically receive the newest software available in just a few clicks. This payment structure is particularly beneficial if you always want to be up to date and need an easy, yet comprehensive solution. This makes Microsoft 365 suitable for companies and private users who need a professional office solution. Beginners also profit from an Office 365 package with IONOS: they receive a more affordable Office 365 package, while enjoying the same high standard of service from our 24/7 expert hotline.

You receive both with IONOS: a useful online version and the Office 2021 offline installer for your devices. This means you can access your documents, spreadsheets and emails via a web browser from anywhere, and also install an offline version of the software. With just one subscription, you can install Microsoft 365 on up to five devices of your choice. If you are working from a device that doesn't belong to you without an installed version of Microsoft 365, simply use the web browser to access the online version. This means you can be flexible and productive, no matter where you are or whether you are connected to the internet or not. What's more, our Microsoft 365 plans also include the Office mobile apps, so you can install your Office 2021 on your Android or iOS device. These apps enable you to continue to work using up to five mobile devices, even without a working internet connection — perfect for while traveling through regions without a network connection or when in airplane mode.
