The major difference between Micrsoft 365 Business Standard and Business Premium is the inclusion of Microsoft Intune which securely manages iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS devices with a single endpoint management solution.

This enables streamlining and automating deployment, provisioning, policy management, application delivery and updates.

Microsoft Office 365 Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) is also included. ATP isa cloud-based email filtering service that helps protect your organisation against unknown malware and viruses by providing robust zero-day protection, and includes features to safeguard your organisation from harmful links in real time.

In addition, the premium licence offers Windows 10 professional upgrade rights which will enable any machines currently operating Windows 7 (which is no longer supported by Microsoft) and Windows 8 to upgrade without any additional charge.

There is also support for Remote Desktop and Virtual Desktop should business needs change in the future.
