Cloud Vendor News & Updates:

1: UPDATE - ANNOUCEMENT REMOVED: Microsoft CSP Software Pricing Update:

Microsoft has removed the previously announced CSP Software Pricing Update without providing any further information. 
We are currently seeking clarification from Microsoft and will share an update as soon as more information becomes available.

Effective August 1, 2026, Microsoft will apply a 5% cost-of-capital uplift for Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) software subscriptions with annual-term commitments billed monthly.

This update aligns pricing treatment across sales channels while preserving monthly billing flexibility for customers. You can continue to offer customers billing that aligns with their cash flow and purchasing preferences. There's no change to annual billing or month-to-month subscriptions.

Please note:

• Pricing updates take effect August 1, 2026 for new purchased and renewals
• Existing subscriptions remain on current pricing until renewal

If you have any questions, please contact your local Insight sales team.

2: The July 2026 Microsoft NCE Promotions Are Now Available:

 Microsoft has published its latest New Commerce Experience (NCE) Promotions Guide, effective July 1, 2026.

With the start of the new promotional period, some existing offers have ended, several promotions have been extended, and new promotions have been introduced.

3: Now available: Microsoft 365 Business with Copilot SKUs:

As of July 1, 2026, the Microsoft 365 Business with Copilot SKUs, are now generally available.
These new SKUs turn a successful promotional motion into a permanent, predictable offer you can build your business around.

Two new subscriptions are now live:

• Microsoft 365 Business Standard with Copilot: 23.50 USD per user per month (300-license maximum, annual subscription with annual billing)
• Microsoft 365 Business Premium with Copilot: 32 USD per user per month (300-license maximum, annual subscription with annual billing)

There are also two live promotional offers, providing more opportunities to scale AI adoption:

• New promo: Microsoft 365 Business Basic + Microsoft 365 Copilot Business: 21 USD per user per month after a 25% off promo through December 2026. No license minimum (1-300 licenses, annual subscription with annual billing).
• Extended promo: Microsoft 365 Copilot Business remains available as a standalone offering at 18 USD per user per month after a 15% promo extended through December 2026. No license minimum (1-300 licenses, annual subscription with annual billing).

These SMB SKUs and promotions embed AI directly into the core productivity experience, removing friction and making Copilot the default, not an add-on.

Customers currently on the standalone version of Microsoft 365 Business Basic, Standard, or Premium, can perform a mid-term upgrade to the Microsoft 365 Business & Microsoft 365 Copilot bundles at any time within Insight’s Cloud Commerce Platform (CCx) at https://buy.insight.com
