Embracing Flexibility: Microsoft Teams as a Stand-alone Service

We are at the forefront of an exciting evolution in the way Microsoft Teams is offered. Starting April 1, 2024, Microsoft Teams embarked on a new journey as a standalone service, separate from the Enterprise and SMB Suite licenses. This strategic shift is designed to align with global licensing changes and provide you with more choices to tailor your Microsoft software portfolio to your specific needs.

Impact on Current Users

For our existing partners and customers, this change means you can continue to enjoy the benefits of Microsoft Teams without any interruption. If you are currently subscribed to a suite that includes Teams, you have the flexibility to renew, upgrade, or add seats as usual. Alternatively, you can opt for the new standalone Teams offering at your contract renewal, ensuring continuity and the same high level of collaboration and productivity you have come to expect.

New Customer Purchases

New customers will now have the option to purchase Microsoft Teams separately, allowing for a more customized approach to building their enterprise software suite. The new standalone Teams offering is priced competitively, ensuring that businesses of all sizes can benefit from its powerful communication and collaboration tools – it is known as Microsoft Teams Enterprise at a retail price of $5.25.

Transitioning with Ease

We understand that change requires adjustment, and we are here to support you through this transition. Our team is dedicated to providing guidance and resources to ensure a smooth integration of Teams as a standalone service within your organization.
