Please see the following update for Maximum Networks Group Customers regarding the move to consistent global pricing for Microsoft Cloud:
Microsoft has announced that they are taking steps to align the pricing of their Microsoft Cloud products globally, meaning customers will have consistent pricing reflecting the exchange rate of the local currency to the US dollar (USD).
Starting April 1, 2023, pricing for Microsoft Cloud products will be adjusted by 9% in the UK market.
In the future, Microsoft will assess pricing in local currency as part of a regular twice-a-year review, taking into consideration currency fluctuations relative to the USD.
This will provide increased transparency and predictability for customers globally and move to a pricing model that is most common in our industry.
The Microsoft Cloud continues to be priced competitively, and Microsoft remains deeply committed to the success of its customers and partners.
Microsoft will continue to invest to enable customers to innovate, consolidate and eliminate operating costs, optimise business performance and efficiency and provide the foundation for a strong security strategy that customers around the world have come to rely on.
