Microsoft 365 for Business

Cloud Apps and Services for Business

With the upfront cost of servers and software licenses becoming more and more prohibitive for many businesses, cloud technology has become, for many businesses, a solution that provides all of the benefits of a server onsite without the upfront costs.

As technology progresses, more and more services are being hosted in the cloud and accessed remotely, it is a highly effective solution and makes life simpler for all in your business. The Cloud can enable your team members, wherever they are, to tap into all the same resources and services as the rest of the team onsite in real time.

One of the best things about Cloud services is they are highly modular and it is not a requirement for you to move all aspects of your business into the Cloud to start taking advantage of the benefits. Here at GreenCity Solutions we can help you choose the most efficient Cloud services that work best for the way your business operates and this can be either a complete replacement of your existing services with Cloud alternatives or introducing a select few Cloud services that best compliment what you already have.

What happened to Office 365 Business Essentials/Premium/ProPlus?

In 2021 Microsoft rebranded several subscriptions with new names but at the time there was no other changes:

  • Office 365 Business Essentials became Microsoft 365 Business Basic.
  • Office 365 Business Premium became Microsoft 365 Business Standard.
  • Office 365 Business became Microsoft 365 Apps for Business.
  • Office 365 ProPlus became Microsoft 365 Apps for Enterprise.

This was done to help simplify and better differentiate the various subscriptions being offered.

Do I need to move all my services to the Cloud?

No, many Cloud services are extremely modular and can be slotted into your existing setup with ease allowing you to pick and choose the Cloud services that you want.
