A non-profit organization with 250 employees is considering Microsoft 365. They want the most cost-effective plan that includes business-class email, web and mobile versions of Office apps, and 1 TB of cloud storage per user. Which subscription should they choose?
Trap 1: Microsoft 365 Business Premium
Premium includes desktop apps at a higher cost, not the most cost-effective if only web apps are needed.
Trap 2: Microsoft 365 E1
E1 is similar but typically more expensive for non-profits and may require volume licensing; Business Basic is simpler.
Trap 3: Microsoft 365 Apps for Business
This includes only desktop apps, no email or web apps.
