Microsoft has recently increased their licencing pricing across their suite of services, a change which generally occurs on an annual or biannual basis. While we do our best to absorb the vast majority of those changes in costs, ensuring consistent and affordable pricing, we occasionally must adjust our pricing in line with the increases from our suppliers.
Commencing March 2019, the price of Microsoft software licences will rise 15%. The specific adjustment on your service will vary, depending on the licences purchased and volume. An example of the price adjustments is provided below.
