Recommended path: Migrate to the cloud with Microsoft 365 E3

Our recommendation for customers seeking a comprehensive, AI-ready solution is to transition to the cloud with Microsoft 365 E3. Microsoft 365 E3 provides an end-to-end solution for securely harnessing the power of AI in your organization, including:

• Always up-to-date versions of familiar apps like Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook to install on up to 5 PCs + 5 tablets + 5 phones per user
• Intelligent services like Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, OneDrive, and Microsoft Loop to help keep employees connected and in sync
• Core security and information protection capabilities to help you safeguard your organization’s devices, applications, and sensitive data against threats
• Streamlined endpoint management to enable faster deployment and help your workforce stay secure and productive across devices
• Integrate generative AI seamlessly into core productivity workflows within Microsoft 365 Apps using Microsoft 365 Copilot (available as an add-on [1])

We know there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach for managing end of support – and we encourage you to explore our enterprise and small business offerings to find the right fit for your organization. As you do, keep in mind that only cloud suites (Microsoft 365 and Office 365) are eligible to be used with Microsoft 365 Copilot; on-premises versions of Office do not qualify.
