Microsoft 365 Business Standard: The Complete Office Suite

Microsoft 365 Business Standard is Microsoft’s most popular subscription for small and medium businesses, and for good reason. It brings together the full desktop Office applications, professional email, and the collaboration tools modern teams rely on — all in one licence per user.

What’s included

• Desktop Office apps — full, installable Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and Publisher on up to 5 devices per user.
• Exchange business email — a 50 GB mailbox with your own domain and enterprise-grade spam and malware protection.
• Microsoft Teams — chat, video meetings and file sharing in one workspace.
• SharePoint + OneDrive — 1 TB of cloud storage per user for secure document management and sharing.

Business Basic vs Business Standard

The biggest difference comes down to the desktop apps. Microsoft 365 Business Basic is cloud-only — you use Word, Excel and Outlook through the browser. Business Standard adds the full installed Office suite, so staff can work offline and use every advanced feature in the desktop programs. If your team already spends most of the day in Excel or Outlook, Standard is usually the better fit.

Pricing

Microsoft 365 Business Standard is billed per user, per month. For Hong Kong pricing and current promotions, contact Potoco Systems for a tailored quote.

Who it’s for

Business Standard is ideal for Hong Kong businesses that want the complete package: a proper office suite, professional email, and cloud collaboration without juggling multiple vendors.
