Microsoft Office 365 (now branded Microsoft 365) is a cloud-based subscription suite that gives businesses access to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive on any device, anywhere.
Unlike a one-time software purchase, Microsoft 365 runs on a per-user, per-month subscription. Your team always has the latest version, built-in security tools, and up to 100 GB or more of cloud storage per user. For Missouri and Arkansas businesses, Pearson-Kelly Technology handles every aspect of your Microsoft 365 environment, from initial setup to ongoing license management and user support.

Microsoft Office 365 gives your team a complete cloud productivity suite, and PKT makes sure you get every bit of value from it.
Here is what Microsoft 365 does for your business:
Work from anywhere: Access Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook from any device, whether your team is in the office, at home, or on the road.
Keep your team connected: Microsoft Teams brings chat, video calls, and file sharing into one place, cutting down on email threads and missed messages.
Protect your data: Every Microsoft 365 plan includes multi-factor authentication, anti-phishing tools, and encrypted email. Business Premium adds Microsoft Defender and device management.
Stay current automatically: Microsoft pushes updates to all apps automatically. You never run outdated software or pay for a new version.
Scale as you grow: Add users in minutes. You pay per active user, so you never overpay for licenses you do not use.
PKT handles the setup, migration, and ongoing management so your team can focus on work, not software administration.

No long-term software contracts, no wasted spend.
Choosing the wrong Microsoft 365 plan is one of the most common mistakes businesses make, and it costs money every month. PKT evaluates your team's actual needs and recommends the right plan, whether that is Business Basic for cloud-only users, Business Standard for teams that need full desktop Office apps, or Business Premium for businesses that need advanced security and device management.
Once you are set up, PKT monitors your licenses monthly. We remove unused accounts, adjust quantities when your headcount changes, and flag upgrades when your team's needs grow. You pay for what you use, nothing more.

We have answers to all the common questions we encounter when a business is
looking into Microsoft Office 365 Solutions
Microsoft Office 365 (now called Microsoft 365) is a subscription service, not a one-time purchase. You pay per user, per month or per year. This means you always have the latest version of Word, Excel, Outlook, and Teams without paying for upgrades. Annual subscriptions typically cost less per month than monthly plans.
Microsoft Office 365 is a cloud-based subscription suite that includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, OneDrive, and SharePoint. It gives your team access to productivity apps and cloud storage from any device. Microsoft rebranded it as Microsoft 365 in 2022, though many businesses still use the original name.
Microsoft rebranded Office 365 to Microsoft 365 in 2022. The core apps are the same, but Microsoft 365 includes additional AI tools like Microsoft Copilot, enhanced security features, and deeper Windows integration. Most providers and users use both names interchangeably. If you see either name, they refer to the same platform.
Microsoft 365 business plans are priced per user, per month across three main tiers: Business Basic, Business Standard, and Business Premium. Each tier includes different features and apps. Pricing changes periodically. Pearson-Kelly Technology recommends contacting PKT directly for current rates and help selecting the right plan for your team size and budget.
Microsoft 365 business subscriptions include Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Microsoft Teams, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Exchange Online. Business Standard and Premium plans add full desktop versions of all Office apps. Business Premium also includes Microsoft Defender for Business, Intune for device management, and Azure Active Directory Premium for advanced security.
You can self-manage Microsoft 365, but most businesses benefit from working with a provider like Pearson-Kelly Technology. A managed Microsoft 365 partner handles license optimization, security configuration, user onboarding, and troubleshooting. This reduces the risk of misconfiguration, overpaying for unused licenses, and security gaps that come from incorrect settings.
A Microsoft 365 migration typically involves four steps: auditing your current email and file environment, configuring your new Microsoft 365 tenant, migrating email and files, and training your team. Pearson-Kelly Technology manages this entire process for businesses in Missouri and Arkansas. Most migrations are complete within two to three weeks with minimal downtime.
Switching to Microsoft 365 without a plan leads to lost emails, confused users, and days of downtime. PKT has a proven migration process that keeps your business running throughout the transition.
