1. How do I decide between M365 E3, O365 E1+intune and M365 F1 for my
project associates ?

o If the associates’ work requires him to use Word/Excel/PPT extensively and if the
associate has a TCS Asset, we recommend E3
o If the associate ’s work doesn’t require an extensive use of Word/Excel/PPT and if
the associate has TCS Asset - we recommend E1+ Intune
o If the associate does NOT have a TCS Asset, and needs to use Teams, we recommend
M365 F1.

1. What is Microsoft 365 F1?

Microsoft 365 F1 is a basic, light weight Office365 License that is primarily aimed at
enabling MS teams for all TCSers. It includes most of MS Teams and comes with an
