<\/p>\n

\n In a bid to allay EU antitrust concerns, Microsoft will start unbundling Teams from the Office 365 and Microsoft 365 suites in European markets.<\/span><\/p>\n

Microsoft announced the move on Thursday. The company said the software will be split in the European Economic Area, which unites the EU member states with Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway, as well as in Switzerland. <\/span><\/p>\n

The changes will commence on October 1. From that point, enterprise customers can buy <\/span>Office 365 and Microsoft 365 without Teams at a lower price of \u20ac2 per month or \u20ac24 per year. To access Teams, they will need to buy a standalone subscript<\/a>ion for \u20ac5 per month or \u20ac60 per year.<\/span><\/p>\n

The move comes a month after the European Commission <\/span>opened a formal investigation into the bundling of Teams.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cRemote communication and collaboration tools like Teams have become indispensable for many businesses in Europe,\u201d Margrethe Vestager, the EU\u2019s antitrust commissioner, said when the investigation was launched.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must therefore ensure that the markets for these products remain competitive, and companies are free to choose the products that best meet their needs.\u201d<\/p>\n

The investigation had been prompted by an antitrust complaint filed by Slack. In 2020, <\/span>the workplace collaboration app accused the Windows-maker of \u201cabusing its market dominance\u201d to stifle rivals.<\/span><\/p>\n

Microsoft said it hopes that the unbundling eases the Commission\u2019s concerns.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe these changes balance the interests of our competitors with those of European business customers, providing them with access to the best possible solutions at competitive prices,\u201d\u00a0Nanna-Louise Linde, Microsoft\u2019s vice president for European government affairs, said in a blog post<\/a><\/span>.\n <\/div>\n
