2023 PREMIER/UNIFIED SUPPORT PRICING — REPORTS FROM THE FIELD:
Reports from industry analysts, Microsoft EA negotiators, and enterprise clients all confirm ongoing significant price increases for Microsoft Premier and Unified Support. As companies are forced to transition into the Unified model in 2022 and 2023 (SAB credits retired Feb 2023), support costs are rising 23-29% year-over-year (or more) for a large portion of the Premier Support base. Some MS support customers are being sold support plans that are labeled “Premier” but have most of the Unified support characteristics and accompanying YOY egregious cost increases. Examples of 3 year forecasting for Unified are producing anticipated price increases of over 90% — and in some cases mushrooming to over 285%.
