  1. You need to be careful with this technology. SCA is only available with Office 365 and Proplus Office. These are not licensed on the Small Business Plans. If you want this technology you have to go to the Enterprise plans, and specifically E3, which is double the cost of Small Business Premium. If you have an old Midsize plan then you will be transitioned to the Small business Premium plan. Under midsized you have Proplus and are entitled to use SCA, under Small Business Premium you do not have Proplus so you are not entitled to use SCA.
