Office 365 is a family of products organized in three product plans. Each plan is designed with features to best meet the needs of businesses based upon their size or other factors. The plans are referred to as small business, midsize business, and enterprise business. Office 365 Small Business and Midsize Business are fixed in size and configuration. Users of these plans must purchase all of the same subscription. The Enterprise plan has all of the different Office 365 options. The Office 365 Enterprise configuration allows mixing and matching features to create a customized subscription within the enterprise plan. The midsize and small business suites are restricted only to those products in those specific Office 365 plans.

In the previous chapters, we have walked through the Office 365 features and spent a lot of time reviewing the planning requirements for moving your business to the cloud. The focus here is on the setup and migration. There are two points that we have raised in the previous chapters. These are 1) planning and 2) purchasing the correct subscription for your business. Successful migrations are about planning. When you move into production, the production side should be very mechanical - no surprises. The focus on this chapter is to extend the planning chapter with the "how to" approach in moving your business to the cloud. Included in this chapter is the 10-step migration process, along with separate sections covering onboarding users and e-mail to Office 365.

All businesses need a web site. The way we solve our web site problem is to use different web hosting companies to manage our web site and different web technologies. One of the less-known features of Office 365 is its web site capabilities. There are three different web technologies that are available to users on Office 365 Enterprise subscriptions. These are the public web site, the SharePoint team site, and Windows Azure. The SharePoint team site is activated as an intranet site (by default). The Office 365 public web site and Windows Azure will need to activated and configured.

Office 365 is a suite of technologies delivered as a Software as a Service (SaaS) offering. Office 365 reduces the IT costs for businesses of any size and significantly reduces the need for an IT professional to manage the Office 365 services. Windows Intune is a desktop management SaaS offering, which complements Office 365. Office 365 deployments work better when Windows Intune is deployed for desktop and mobile device management. The change in desktop management has moved from device-centric management to user management (see Figure ). Microsoft extended this management into Microsoft Systems Center and the standardization of a five (5) user licenses model for Windows Intune and Office 365 subscription services. Users can bring their own devices to Office 365, and have those devices managed by Windows Intune.

In previous chapters we discussed how to move your business to Office 365. We spent a lot of time talking about the three different categories of Office 365 (e.g. Enterprise, Midsize and Professional) and pointed out that you should be looking at the Enterprise Suites as a solution. The main reason why we select the enterprise version is a simple one: you have the flexibility of deployment and your overall costs are reduced, compared with the other plan options.
