Microsoft has announced upcoming pricing increases for certain Microsoft 365 and cloud services beginning July 1st, 2026. Because these licenses are provided directly through Microsoft, these changes will affect providers and businesses worldwide.
As your managed service provider, we want to keep you informed about how this may impact your billing moving forward.
Why are Prices increasing?
According to Microsoft, these increases are tied to ongoing investments in:
- Cybersecurity and advanced protection tools
- AI-powered features and productivity improvements
- Cloud infrastructure and platform enhancements
- Continued development and support of Microsoft services
These changes are being made directly by Microsoft and are outside of our control.
What This Means for Your Billing
Moving forward, pricing for certain Microsoft services on your invoice may increase to reflect Microsoft’s updated licensing costs.
Please note:
- These changes are coming directly from Microsoft
- This is not a price increase initiated by our company
- Updated pricing may appear at your next renewal or billing cycle, depending on your subscription
We understand that unexpected pricing changes can be frustrating, and we are committed to being as transparent as possible throughout this process.
