Microsoft have announced 3-year subscription terms on CSP for:
- 1) Microsoft 365 E3 (with and without Teams)
- 2) Microsoft 365 E5 (with and without Teams)
- 3) Microsoft Teams Enterprise
- 4) Microsoft 365 E5 Security
- 5) Microsoft 365 E5 Compliance
Numbers 1, 2, and 3 will be available from June 1, 2025 while 4 & 5 will come on July 1, 2025.
The price will be the same as 3 x 12-month subscriptions but of course, with the price protection against increases that a longer commit brings. It seems there will be a 100 SKU minimum for these 3-year SKUs.
This strengthens the push for smaller EA customers to move across to CSP and comes hot on the heels of the “channel transfers interface” to that launched in April to help partners renew Enterprise Agreements (EAs) into CSP and retain their existing rights to bundled Teams.
Microsoft have also announced enhanced investment in, and incentives for, CSP partners moving into FY26 from July 1st.
