On July 1, 2024, Microsoft has announced that there will be no price adjustments<\/strong> for its Commercial Cloud<\/strong> and On-Premises software<\/strong> services in September 2024<\/strong>. This decision comes in light of the relative stability of foreign exchange rates with the U.S. dollar<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Commitment to Transparency<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Microsoft has reiterated its commitment to maintaining a clear and transparent pricing process<\/strong> for its global customers<\/strong>. The company conducts price alignment semi-annually<\/strong>, in February<\/strong> and September<\/strong>, based on prevailing market conditions. This approach ensures that customers across different geographies<\/strong> and currencies<\/strong> experience consistent pricing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Impact on Commercial Partners and Customers<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This announcement is particularly relevant for Microsoft\u2019s<\/strong> commercial<\/strong> partners<\/strong> and customers<\/strong>, who can now plan their budgets<\/strong> and strategies<\/strong> with greater certainty<\/strong>, knowing that there will be no unexpected price changes due to currency fluctuations<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Future Price Adjustments<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Currency Price Adjustments<\/h3>\n

There will be no changes in September 2024 <\/strong>due to currency fluctuations. However, as this is evaluated semi-annually (every February and September), this may change in the future<\/strong>, with the earliest possible adjustment in February 2025.<\/p>\n

Product-specific or consumer price adjustments<\/h3>\n

Microsoft has indicated that any product-specific or consumer price adjustments will be communicated separately<\/strong>. This ensures that all stakeholders are kept informed well in advance<\/strong> about any future changes that may affect their costs<\/strong> and can plan<\/strong> and adjust<\/strong> their financial strategies accordingly<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
