At the 2013 WorldWide Partner Conference (WPC), Microsoft announced plans to make it easier for customers to switch between Office 365 plans – this was greeted by smiles & cheers from many!
The initial introduction worked only for a few cases but the supported switching scenarios have now been expanded to include:
| From | To |
| Small Business | MidSize Business Enterprise E1 Enterprise E3 Enterprise E4 |
| Small Business Premium | MidSize Business Enterprise E3 Enterprise E4 |
| Exchange Online Plan 1 | Enterprise E1 Enterprise E3 Enterprise E4 |
| MidSize Business Exchange Online Plan 2 |
Enterprise E3 Enterprise E4 |
Microsoft say:
“We continue to work on transition solutions for both additional scenarios (e.g., Exchange Online to Midsize Business) as well as for Open subscriptions and Government/Academic SKUs”
So there will continue to be additions and improvements around this – making Office 365 even more relevant for businesses everywhere.
