Microsoft Price increases As we all know, cost of living rises are a hot topic at the moment. Microsoft announced last year that they too will be increasing their prices in 2022 – some by as much as 20%. These price increases will start from the 1st March this year and is summarised in the table below:  

PRODUCT PRICE INCREASE
Microsoft 365 Business Basic 20%
Microsoft 365 Business Premium 10%
Microsoft 365 E3 13%
Office 365 E1 25%
Office 365 E3 15%
Office 365 E5 9%

  At the time of writing, Microsoft have confirmed non-profit, charity and academic pricing is unchanged, however we would expect these to rise this year too.   How to protect against the rises As a Gold Partner, Smartdesc can provide Microsoft licensing directly to you and lock in the prices you pay now, for 12 months.   It also means we take on the management of billing, so you don’t need to juggle credit cards and expense claims.   We do not add any margin for this – you will pay the same as you pay now.   If this is of interest or you would like to talk to us about what the best Microsoft license model is for your organisation, please get in touch.   Smartdesc is an IT Service Provider and Microsoft Gold Partner for the charity, non-profit and public sector.  We are an ACEVO Premium Partner, NCVO Trusted Supplier and CFG partner. We are always happy to talk through your organisation’s IT Challenges or IT Plans and offer free Charity IT Tech Reviews and complementary IT Consultations for NCVO, ACEVO and Charity Finance Group members.  Book some time with us here.
