Another reminder about upcoming (July 1st) price increases to certain Microsoft 365 products. We put together a blog on the most common SKUs our clients consume - let it be known that this is not the complete list, I've linked the Microsoft article in the blog for even more reading - because I know everyone LOVES to learn more about Microsoft licensing. 😇

Microsoft 365 Pricing and Packaging Update: What's Changing in July 2026 Get ready for the Microsoft 365 price increase. Understand what is changing and how it might affect your business operations soon.

Microsoft 365 prices are going up July 1, 2026, and the size of the increase depends on which plan you're on.

The good news: several tools that used to be paid add-ons are getting bundled into the base license. Depending on your current setup, that could offset some of the increase. Or not.

Breakdown of what's changing, when it hits, and what to do before your renewal. Link in comments.

See you all there!

A special thank you to Danny Carlson, CEO of Platinum Systems and Partner at Southport AI & Automation, for an engaging presentation on “AI That Actually Knows Your Business.”

Danny showed how AI goes beyond general chat when it’s trained on your own documents, marketing, policies, and procedures — with live demos of custom AI assistants that truly understand your business.

Great insights, energy and discussions. See you next month!

If you are investing in technology but not investing in your people, there is a gap.

Read our latest blog to learn how Security Awareness Training protects growth and reduces real financial exposure.
