If you’ve read our blog post 7 reasons why you should consider using Microsoft 365, you’ll understand why businesses are making the switch from the traditional desktop Office Suite eg Office 2019, to cloud-based subscription Microsoft 365 (formerly known as Office 365).
The main reason businesses are making the switch is because the Office Suite is sold as a one-time purchase meaning you pay a single, up-front cost to use it on one workstation.
