Microsoft is raising the price of cloud services. How to avoid prices?
In August last year, Microsoft released information about a change in commercial prices for cloud services. The company decided to increase the prices of selected products from March 1, 2022.

- Microsoft 365 Business Premium
- Office 365 E1Office 365 E3

Cheaper option
If you already use cloud services in your organization that suit you thanks to updates, then the Hybrid solution is suitable for you. Our Hybrid solution combines cloud services with perpetual licenses. The goal is to design a cost-effective solution with all the features you need tailored to your organization
Try perpetual free market licenses
The best option is to stay in the on-premise solution for as long as possible. For perpetual licenses, there is no risk of price increases, as the purchase is made once when the software is purchased. The biggest savings can be achieved by purchasing secondary licenses of older versions, such as Office 2019 or even Office 2016 with a support period until October 2025.
