Dear Valued Customers,
We would like to inform you about an upcoming change that will impact your Microsoft 365 licensing costs. In October 2022, Microsoft announced an adjustment to their pricing for Microsoft 365 licenses, resulting in a 9% increase in costs. Recently Microsoft confirmed the price change will come into effect on September 1st, 2023.
At KeyTech, we strive to provide you with the best services and solutions, while also ensuring transparency in our operations. Due to the pricing update by Microsoft, we regret to inform you that we will need to adjust our pricing accordingly. Our pricing for Microsoft 365 licensing will also be increased by 9% starting from September 1st, 2023.
We understand that changes in pricing can raise questions, and we want to provide you with all the necessary information to make this transition as smooth as possible:
Why the Price Increase?
Microsoft is a global technology leader that offers a wide range of cloud services and software solutions. In order to maintain consistency and fairness across different regions and currencies, Microsoft periodically reviews and adjusts its pricing to reflect exchange rates with the U.S. dollar. This ensures that customers across the globe experience pricing that is aligned with local currency values, promoting transparency and predictability in an ever-changing economic landscape.
Timing of the Price Increase:
The new pricing will be applicable from September 1st, 2023. This means that any billing or contracts renewed on or after this date will reflect the adjusted pricing.
