☆ Microsoft splits Teams from Office in Europe after EU pressure
  + stars: | 2023-08-31 | by ( Olesya Dmitracova | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +2 min
The change will take effect from October 1, affecting business customers in the EU and four other European countries that use Microsoft 365 and Office 365 suites. Microsoft (MSFT) will also make it easier for other companies — for example, Zoom and Slack, which is owned by Salesforce — to integrate their products with Microsoft 365, the new name for Office 365. The company will charge “core enterprise customers” €2 ($2.2) less per month for Microsoft 365 and Office 365 — which include Word, Excel and Outlook among other apps — without the popular Teams app. New customers in Europe will be able to buy Teams, best-known for its video-conferencing feature, separately for €5 ($5.4) per month. The EU launched its probe into possible anticompetitive practices by Microsoft following a 2020 complaint by Slack that alleged Microsoft illegally tied Teams to its dominant workplace software.

☆ Microsoft to unbundle Teams software in Europe in bid to abate EU antitrust concerns

Silhouettes of laptop users are seen next to a screen projection of Microsoft logo in this photo illustration. U.S. tech giant Microsoft on Thursday said it will unbundle its chat and videoconference service Teams from its Microsoft 365 and Office 365 products, in a bid to allay European Union antitrust concerns. European Union regulators had in July opened an antitrust investigation into Microsoft's bundling of Teams with other Office products, citing anti-competitive concerns. "We appreciate the clarity that has emerged on several of the concerns from extensive and constructive discussions with the European Commission. With the benefit of this clarity, we believe it is important that we start to take meaningful steps to address those concerns," Nanna-Louise Linde, vice president of Microsoft European Government Affairs, said Thursday in a blogpost.

☆ Microsoft to unbundle Teams from Office, seeks to avert EU antitrust fine
  + stars: | 2023-08-31 | by ( Foo Yun Chee | Thomson Reuters | An Agenda-Setting | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
The proposed changes came a month after the European Commission launched an investigation into Microsoft's tying of Office and Teams following a complaint by Salesforce-owned (CRM.N) workspace messaging app Slack in 2020. The EU competition enforcer on Thursday said it took note of the company's announcement and declined further comment. Teams was added to Office 365 in 2017 for free. New enterprise customers can buy Teams standalone and separately for 5 euros per month or 60 euros per year, while existing enterprise customers who already have a suite with Teams can choose to keep it or move to a without-Teams suite. Microsoft will also develop a new method for hosting the Office web applications within competing apps and services similar to what it does with Teams.
