FULL STORY ======================================================================

Microsoft has revealed its first Dynamics 365 price hike in five years, and while users may have been exempt from such increases in the troubling
economic times that followed the pandemic, theyre about to be hit by some pretty big jumps in monthly costs.

In a blog post announcing the changes, Bryan Goode Corporate VP for Business Applications and Platform, said that Dynamics 365 has transformed customer relationship management (CRM) and enterprise resource planning (ERP) processes.

Across the 12 pricing categories, Microsoft has applied an average increase
of 11.5%, with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Commerce seeing the biggest jump of 16.7%. Dynamics 365 price rises

Over the years, Microsoft Dynamics 365 has seen new features and enhancements introduced, making the suite more powerful than it was this time five years ago. Its likely to be a combination of this and rising costs globally contributing to the more expensive plans.

In a separate post disclosing the new prices, Goode confirmed that on-prem products will see the same percentage increases, and that some product
pricing will remain unchanged.

Goode also confirmed that new and existing customers (renewing after the changes come into force) will be faced with the higher prices. The change,
set to be applied from October 1, 2024, will coincide with a 10% rise in US government list prices, which Microsoft says is to comply with local regulations.

Another smaller increase will also be introduced one year later, on October
1, 2025.

Microsoft also claims that, besides wanting to provide the best value for customers, customers are unlocking their own value with the help of Copilot for Dynamics 365 one of the first real-world use cases of generative AI outside of generic chatbot instances.
