New Commerce Experience

Cut out the noise on NCE

Microsoft has been making a lot of noise about its New Commerce Experience (NCE). But how much of it make sense?

Not nearly enough. NCE is being promoted as a programme that offers a fairer, more consistent service for partners, and greater flexibility for end customers.

But is that the whole story? In a word, no.

There’s a lot more to it than that. And you’re right to want to know more about NCE. And about the historic Microsoft 365 price increases.

At Westcoast Cloud, we don’t sugarcoat things. We deal in plain facts, not babble. That’s why we’ve created the NCE Centre, to help our partners blow through the bluster and get the cold hard truth about this new programme and those M365 price increases.

On this page, you’ll find loads of lovely content on the NCE and Microsoft 365 price rises. Take a look if you have questions like:

  • What options will CSPs have going forward?
  • Will the NCE increase my long-term risks/liability?
  • Are constant price increases going to be a thing now?

Most importantly, get in touch and tell us what you think of the NCE and the new M365 prices. We’ve shared our concerns with Microsoft, and we can share yours with them as well.
