Beat the Microsoft 365 Price Change
On January 5th 2023 Microsoft announced that its cloud product prices will be going up by 9% in the UK beginning April 1st, 2023. The reason behind this increase is due to the global economic environment that has impacted the currency exchange rate compared to the US dollar (USD). In order to align the pricing globally and ensure that customers worldwide have a more closely aligned pricing to the USD rate, Microsoft is updating its local currency cloud pricing in GBP, EUR, SEK, NOK, and DKK based on foreign currency fluctuations compared to the USD.
The price increase will affect all categories of commercial and public sector customers equally, including government, education/academic, and non-profit organisations. The price adjustments will start from April 1st, 2023 and the British Pound (GBP) prices will adjust by +9%.
An example of how Microsoft Cloud services subscriptions will be impacted by the change include;
- Some of the popular products that will be impacted include, but are not limited to, Microsoft 365 E5 and E3, Microsoft 365 Business Plans, Office 365 plans, Dynamics licensing (Sales, Customer Service, Finance, Supply Chain Management, Business Central, etc.).
- Expiring or new subscriptions purchased on or after April 1st, 2023 will be impacted by the price increase, including the price adjustment.
- Pricing for existing subscriptions for seat-based cloud services will be protected during the term of the subscription at the original billing price.
- Additional CSP seats added to an existing subscription established prior to April 1st, 2023 will be included at the original billing price.
In light of this price increase, businesses may have questions or feel uncertain about its impact on their operations. This is why, as Microsoft Partners, we have experts available to assist you and discuss short and long-term strategies that can help mitigate the impact of this price increase on your business. Whether you have concerns about renewing your subscriptions or finding alternative solutions, our experts are here to provide you with the information and support you need to make the right decision for your business.

In addition to the recent price increase, Microsoft has also announced its plan to assess pricing in local currency regularly twice a year. This new assessment frequency will take into consideration currency fluctuations relative to the USD globally, providing increased transparency and predictability for customers globally and moving towards a pricing model that is more common in the industry.
Despite the price increase, Microsoft’s cloud products continue to be priced competitively in the industry and the company remains dedicated to the success of its customers and partners. Microsoft will continue to make investments that allow its customers to innovate, and optimise business performance and efficiency, whilst providing a solid security foundation that customers worldwide have come to depend on. One2Call will be here to support you through these chances and best advise your business every step of the way.
Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365) is the perfect platform on which to build your modern, growing businesses. But Microsoft’s support can be slow and impersonal, licensing and administration can be complex and confusing, and with so many apps and services, it can be hard to know which ones you really need.
That’s where the support of a Managed Microsoft 365 provider can really speed up your business.
