Technology impacts more than just day-to-day tasks, it shapes growth potential, team efficiency, and ultimately, competitive advantage. Microsoft 365 Business Premium aligns with these priorities by consolidating enterprise-grade security, familiar productivity tools, and device management into a single solution. It also includes advanced access management features within identity and access management systems that protect and manage users’ identities and their access to files and systems. When combined with Lantech’s managed services, it becomes a powerful platform for enhancing collaboration and reducing risk without complicating your workflow.
1. What is Microsoft 365 Business Premium?
Microsoft 365 Business Premium is a comprehensive business package designed to help small to medium-sized businesses work more efficiently. It combines the best-in-class Office apps with powerful cloud services and advanced security features to safeguard business data and assets across devices. With Microsoft 365 Business Premium, businesses can enjoy a complete set of office solutions, including email, document management, web conferencing, and instant messaging. This all-in-one solution ensures that your team has the tools they need to stay productive and secure, whether they are in the office or working remotely.
One Microsoft 365 Business Premium Subscription, Comprehensive Coverage
Rather than juggling separate solutions for email, data protection, and remote collaboration, Business Premium streamlines everything under one roof. You benefit from:
Full Office Apps (Desktop & Online) – Including Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, and Teams for unified communications. Business apps enable employees to securely access essential tools and resources from various locations.
Advanced Security – Enterprise-class threat protection, data loss prevention, and AI-driven threat detection to safeguard every corner of your organisation.
Cloud Storage – OneDrive provides 1 TB of space per user for secure access, sharing, and collaboration on files from any device and location.
Device Management – Easily define policies for laptops, tablets, and mobiles to ensure they meet your organisation’s security standards.
By consolidating these services, you reduce complexity and gain better visibility into your IT estate—an essential factor for strategy-focused leadership teams.
Built-In Advanced Security Features That Scale
Cyber threats continually evolve, and many organisations lack the time or resources to research and implement every new defensive measure. Business Premium provides automatic updates and continuous improvements to keep your security posture strong:
Microsoft Defender – Offers real-time, AI-driven threat intelligence that updates in the background.
Conditional Access – Controls how and where your team can securely log in, ideal for distributed or hybrid work environments.
Compliance & Governance Tools – Streamlined solutions for data handling, regulatory standards, and best practices, removing guesswork from security planning.
Device Management Capabilities – Define policies for laptops, tablets, and mobiles to ensure secure access and management across all devices.
Additionally, Business Premium allows you to remove business data from lost or stolen devices to prevent unauthorized access and maintain data integrity.
Together, these measures ensure you’re well-equipped to handle new risks without juggling multiple point solutions.
3. Productivity Without Barriers
A flexible workforce needs modern tools that support collaboration and quick decision-making. Business Premium delivers:
Microsoft Teams & SharePoint – Enable real-time file sharing, secure file storage, chat, and remote collaboration that keeps projects moving—no matter where people are located.
Power Automate – Automates routine tasks, letting teams focus on driving innovation and serving customers more effectively.
Consistent User Experience – Everyone benefits from the same up-to-date versions of the apps they use daily, reducing friction and avoiding version conflicts.
The result is better collaboration and productivity with less friction between departments, allowing your organisation to respond faster to market demands.
4. Return on Investment Over Upfront Cost
While Business Premium may appear more expensive than a basic licence, it’s often the most economical choice when you factor in all the separate tools you’d otherwise need to purchase and manage.
Reduced Risk of Downtime – Security breaches and not maintaining compliance can lead to financial loss, reputational damage, wasted resources and often derails strategic plans.
Fewer Patchwork Solutions – One integrated subscription is simpler to budget and forecast, minimising the hidden costs of multiple standalone products.
Scalable for Growth – Adding new users, locations, or departments is straightforward, so you don’t have to shop for add-ons or migrate platforms in mid-growth.
Comparatively, Microsoft 365 Business Standard may appear to be a cost-effective solution for everyday business operations, offering essential productivity tools, core Office applications and cloud storage, however it lacks the essential security features to mitigate the most common cyber attacks such as identity theft via Session Token Hacking
Ultimately, Business Premium stands out as a strategic investment that fortifies security and boosts productivity—all under one transparent licence.
