Microsoft 365 Enterprise E3 and E5 – Now Available with a 3-Year Commitment

Microsoft has introduced a new 3-year subscription option for Microsoft 365 E3 and E5, designed for organisations that want long-term stability and strategic value from their Microsoft investment.

What are Microsoft 365 E3 & E5?

Microsoft 365 is a comprehensive productivity suite built for enterprise environments.

The Enterprise E3 edition includes the full suite of Office apps (like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook), advanced security features, device management tools, and compliance capabilities. It’s ideal for businesses that need a secure, scalable, and collaborative environment across their workforce.

The Enterprise E5 edition includes all this and further Security & Compliance features. It also includes Power BI Pro and Teams Phone.

What’s New with the 3-Year Option?

Traditionally, Microsoft 365 subscriptions have been available on monthly or annual terms. The new 3-year SKU offers the same features and functionality, but with the added benefit of locking in your subscription for a longer period.

It’s worth noting that you can still pay on an annual basis at no additional cost.

Why Consider a 3-Year Commitment?

Here are a few reasons why this new option might be right for your organisation:

  • Price Stability
    Lock in your subscription rate for three years and protect your business from future price increases.
  • Simplified Budgeting
    With a fixed cost over a longer term, financial planning becomes more predictable and easier to manage.
  • Strategic Offers
    Microsoft will be able to offer additional incentives or discounts, making this ideal for new adopters

When Does It Make Sense?

  • You’re planning a long-term Microsoft 365 strategy.
  • You want to avoid annual price increases.
  • You’re new to Microsoft 365 E3 or E5 and want to take advantage of introductory offers.
  • You’re looking for a stable, enterprise-grade platform to support your team’s productivity and security.

How much does it cost?

When it comes to Microsoft SKUs, there are so many different options and it’s important your requirements are understood as well.
