At first glance, this looks like a pricing question. How much more does Microsoft 365 E5 cost than E3?

Fair enough. That is usually where the conversation starts. But it rarely ends there.

What looks like a licensing decision often turns into a bigger discussion around security, compliance, visibility, and whether the extra investment actually solves meaningful problems for the business.

If your team is weighing E3 against E5, the goal is not to chase the highest tier. It is to understand what changes, what matters, and where the extra cost is justified.

A useful AI conversation usually gets better the moment it leaves the product page and enters the workflow.

That was a big part of last week's PizzaCast with .

Instead of treating agentic AI like a category to admire from a distance, we focused on the practical side of customer communications. What improves when AI helps support conversations? Where does oversight still matter? What has to be true operationally before any of this creates real value?

A lot of Microsoft 365 decisions get framed too narrowly.

Which license is cheaper.
Which plan has more features.
Which one seems “good enough.”

That is usually the wrong conversation to be having.

The better question is whether your Microsoft 365 setup actually matches the way your business operates, secures users, manages risk, and supports growth.

That is why we structured this Microsoft 365 series the way we did.

We started with security, because Microsoft 365 plays a central role in communication, collaboration, and access across the business.

Now we are moving into licensing strategy with a breakdown of Microsoft 365 Business Premium vs. E3 vs. E5, and why those decisions deserve more thought than they often get.

Agentic AI conversations sound polished right up until someone has to decide whether the tool actually fits the business.

That is usually where the real questions start.

🔶 Who owns it?
🔶 Where does it fit in the workflow?
🔶 What needs human oversight?
🔶 What does real ROI actually look like once it hits day-to-day operations?

That is exactly where we’re taking the conversation in our upcoming PizzaCast with Dialpad.

Today is the last day to secure your free pizza 🍕if you want to join us live, but registration will remain open up until the event on Thursday, 5/21 at 11:30am MT / 12:30pm CT.

If agentic AI, customer communications, workflow impact, and trust and security questions are already on your radar, this should be a worthwhile session.

One of the easiest ways to get AI wrong is to treat it like a software decision before treating it like an operations decision.

That usually leads teams straight into feature comparisons before they have answered the more important questions around workflow fit, ownership, oversight, and what success would actually look like in practice.

That is a big part of why agentic AI deserves a more careful look, especially in customer communications where the promise sounds great, but the real value only shows up if it improves how work actually gets done.

We put together a new piece on that tension and what business leaders should be evaluating right now.

AI still gets talked about like the answer is obvious. It usually is not.

Most companies are still trying to figure out where it actually fits, what needs human oversight, and whether the promised ROI holds up once these tools hit real teams and real workflows.

That is why our upcoming PizzaCast with Dialpad should be a good one!

On May 21, we are digging into agentic AI in customer communications, not from the hype angle, but from the practical one. Where can it help? Where does it need guardrails? What should organizations be asking before they move too fast?

If this is already on your radar, now is a good time to grab your spot.

What happens when your network goes down? Everything stops. 🛑

Whether your team is in the office or remote, your network keeps your business operational. Waiting for a server to crash before fixing it is no longer an effective strategy.

Your company can't afford to lose valuable revenue or potential customers.

We just published a new article on why proactive network monitoring is critical for Business Continuity. The goal is to predict problems before they impact your team or your customers.

For most businesses, Microsoft 365 is no longer just a productivity platform.

It sits at the center of communication, collaboration, file sharing, user access, and day-to-day operations.

That is exactly why security gaps in Microsoft 365 matter so much.

When the platform touches email, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, permissions, and hybrid work, it deserves more than a default setup and a quick assumption that everything is probably fine.

It needs a more intentional approach. Actually, we can safely say it demands a more intentional approach.

That is why we are starting a new Microsoft 365 series at All In Technology, beginning with a practical security checklist for businesses that want a clearer view of where their environment may be exposed and what to review first.

Everyone talks about AI like a magic bullet.

But companies still need to understand where it actually fits, who is steering the ship, and what the real ROI can look like once the hype wears off.

That is where a lot of teams are stuck right now.

They are hearing big promises around automation, productivity, and customer experience. At the same time, they are trying to sort through practical questions around ownership, workflow fit, trust, security, and whether the technology is mature enough to create value in the real world.

That’s what we’ll be unpacking in our May 2026 PizzaCast with Dialpad.

On May 21, All In Technology will host a practical conversation on Dialpad's agentic AI in customer communications — including where these tools may help, where human oversight still matters, and what organizations should be evaluating before they move too fast, too soon.
