Updates to Microsoft 365 Licensing for Firstline Workers
Tuesday 14th April 2020
Microsoft have announced a new plan for Firstline Workers, plus new value coming to Firstline Worker plans. This new plan will extend the Microsoft 365 SKU line-up and will slot below the existing firstline plan. As such, it will inherit the Microsoft 365 F1 name and the current Microsoft 365 F1 plan will be renamed to Microsoft 365 F3 to provide consistency across commercial offers.
Microsoft 365 F1 (New): Launched on 1st April, provides the foundation of a secure and connected experience for Firstline Workers. It includes products like Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, Yammer, Stream, and Enterprise Security + Management. This plan costs $4 per user, per month.
Microsoft 365 F3 (Updated): is in market today and has been renamed from “Microsoft 365 F1” to “Microsoft 365 F3”. It includes all the features in the new firstline plan, plus additional capabilities to enhance worker productivity and innovation. This plan costs $10 per user, per month.
Finally, to create a truly connected and secure company, Microsoft are also expanding the Microsoft Teams value included in the Firstline plans (Microsoft 365 F1, Office 365 F3, and Microsoft 365 F3) to include full audio / video capabilities, meeting rights, Walkie Talkie, and adding enhanced identity and access management features disclosed earlier this calendar year.
