Office 365 E5 is here

After an announcement earlier this year Microsoft has released a new Office 365 suite plan called E5.

E5 will replace the current E4 plan that will be retired over the next 12 months. What does E5 include? Basically it includes everything E4 included but adds services like:

  • Cloud PBX enables companies to eliminate separate PBX systems and transition to the cloud with Office 365 as the central location to manage users for communication and
  • With PSTN Calling, Office 365 customers can also subscribe to Microsoft managed calling plans and phone numbers, starting in the U.S. with more markets coming later.
  • Delve Analytics—Empowers individuals through rich dashboards that provide insights on time and relationships, with the goal of helping individuals get time back and spend it effectively.
