Assess roles
We work out which roles genuinely need desktop apps versus browser-based access.
Microsoft 365 Business Basic · India
Microsoft 365 Business Basic for lean, browser-first teams.
Business Basic covers hosted email, Teams, and web/mobile versions of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint — without desktop app installs. It fits frontline staff, lightweight users, or teams already comfortable working in a browser.
We set up the tenant, mailboxes, and Teams correctly from the start, and can mix Business Basic with higher plans for users who do need desktop apps.
