We have several licences for Office 365 Small Business via BT. This was OK in the past as we used to buy the CD versions of the full desktop office applications for each PC (The office web apps are a total waste of time in my opinion) They were quite reasonably priced for a 3 user licence.
Anyway...now Microsoft have changed their business model it seems and they want everybody to buy Office 365 so they have made the CD versions stupidly expensive (eg Office Home & Business is now £220 for 1 user)
But no problem Microsoft say, just buy Office 365 Small Business Premium for a few £ more each month and you get the fully functioning desktop applications too...wonderful !
Err... except that BT dont sell that... they only sell Small Business so I'm stuffed. If I want the email accounts all linked up and working I HAVE to buy the Office 365 licences via BT and then spend £220/user on top of my Office 365 fee to get properly functioning office desktop programs. Have called BT to check and they say yes this is how it is.
Any suggestions?
