What's Changing? Things You Need to Know

Microsoft has announced a 5% price increase for NCE Annual Commitments with monthly billing, effective April 1, 2025.

This change will impact businesses that rely on monthly billing for their annual Microsoft subscriptions. Here’s what you need to know:

  • Applies to All Channels: This increase will affect Buy Online, CSP, and MCA-E subscriptions. 
  • Higher Monthly Costs: Monthly billing plans will cost 5% more than annual billing plans, creating a noticeable difference over time. 
  • Existing Subscriptions: For businesses already using monthly billing, this change will apply at their next subscription renewal after April 1, 2025. 

The time to act is now—review your licensing options before renewal dates to avoid being impacted by the higher costs. 

Don’t worry! At Exigo Tech, we are committed to helping you handle this adjustment with ease and minimise any impact on your business.

What Does This Mean to You?

The upcoming price increase might seem small, but with multiple subscriptions, the cumulative cost can be huge.

Here’s a breakdown of the potential impact:

Imagine a scenario where you are paying $50 per license per month. A $50/month license will now increase to $52.50/month post-April, adding $30 per license annually. 

• 50 licenses = $1,500/year in extra costs!

This 5% price hike will put pressure on your IT budget. Many organisations already deal with tight margins, and unexpected increases like this can disrupt your growth plans and strain financial resources.

Without taking action, you could miss out on locking in current rates or optimising your subscriptions. Over time, these small, avoidable costs can become huge unnecessary expenses.

Your Opportunity: Avoid the Price Increase

The good news? There’s still time to act before April 1, 2025. Taking steps now can save your business thousands of dollars. 

  • Lock in Current Rates: By switching to annual billing plans now, you can secure today’s pricing and avoid the 5% hike. 
  • Review Your Licenses: A thorough audit can give information about unused licenses, incorrectly categorised subscriptions, or opportunities to optimise plans for better efficiency. 
  • Reduce Wasted Spend: Many businesses pay for licenses they no longer use. Eliminating these costs can ensure you are only paying for what your team truly needs.
