Microsoft 365 Business Premium

I usually use it for managing email communications and presentations. The filtering and folders inside Outlook allow quick decisions on priorities and the junk filtering seems to work fairly well (way to much junk e-mail in this world). The capability of scheduling meetings and instant messaging within the product (Microsoft Teams) keeps everyone visible for a more timely response when issues come up. The ability to insert various objects directly in the email also minimizes idea transfers and workflow processes have made it streamlined and trackable as the activity is delivered.

• Premium is expensive but worth it if justified for your company
• A mix of Business standard and premium should always be considered
• The right product for the right workload requirements should be the mantra.
