Microsoft EMS is now Microsoft EMS... Let us explain

As of this morning, the Microsoft Enterprise Mobility Suite (EMS) is now known as Microsoft Enterprise Mobility + Security (EMS).

All jokes about naming confusion aside, the new offering has rolled in more security-minded offerings and capabilities. More details can be found here: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/enterprisemobility/2016/07/07/introducing-enterprise-mobility-security/

For those that just want the condensed notes, here are the main changes:

 

 

  1. Enterprise Mobility Suite becomes Enterprise Mobility + Security
    a.    The existing Enterprise Mobility Suite becomes Enterprise Mobility + Security E3, with no change for existing EMS customers.
    b.    A new expanded plan will be generally available in Q4 2016 and known as Enterprise Mobility + Security E5.

  2. Azure Active Directory Premium
    a.    The existing Azure AD Premium becomes Azure AD Premium P1, with no change for existing customers.
    b.    Azure AD Premium P2, generally available later in Q3 2016, includes all the capabilities in Azure AD Premium P1 as well as the new Identity Protection and Privileged Identity Management capabilities.

  3. Azure Rights Management + Secure Islands becomes Azure Information Protection
    a.    The existing Azure Rights Management Premium becomes Azure Information Protection Premium P1, generally available in Q4 2016, with no change for existing Azure RMS customers.
    b.    The P2 offer adds automatic classification, on top of the manual classification, labeling and everything else included in P1.
