Tips for minimising the impact of the Microsoft Office price rise
Summary
By limiting access to key cloud features for perpetual licence products, users are encouraged to make regular payments for Office 365.Before deciding to switch, these smaller organisations, which often do not have the budget to employ a SAM manager, should consider using a specialist Microsoft licensing consultant to establish an accurate licence position and carefully consider the next steps.In the public sector, customers that have bought a Microsoft Open Program agreement will see their costs go up in phases, which should help manage the price increases for Office 365.Historically, on-premise licensing gave every device the full feature set of Microsoft Office, but in reality, most users within organisations did not utilise all of its constituent parts.By only granting the functionality actually required to users rather the traditional one-size-fits-all on-premise options, it may be possible to mitigate the price rise by buying the right level of subscription based on usage needs.
