What is Microsoft’s New Commerce Experience (NCE)?
Microsoft recently announced a change to their licensing structure (called the New Commerce Experience or NCE) which includes an increase to the license fee. The New Commerce Experience introduces seat-based cloud offerings for Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, Windows 365 and Power Platform. Its primary aim is to simplify the way Microsoft’s products, models and subscriptions work and provide cost savings for long-term commitments.

Microsoft 365 Business Premium is an all-in-one suite of services designed to improve productivity and collaboration for businesses, including law firms.
According to a recent study, over 85% of UK law firms are using Microsoft 365 to increase productivity and streamline their operations, however many firms do not utilise their current licence to its full capacity and in some instances use very little of what they are actually paying for.

In the ever-evolving landscape of IT, making strategic decisions is crucial to ensuring the success and growth of your firm. Among these, selecting the right Managed IT support providers tops the list. But what do you do when your existing provider fails to meet your evolving needs? The process of transitioning to a new provider can often seem complex, time-consuming, and intimidating.
Whether you're transitioning your IT support, migrating Microsoft 365 licences, or undertaking a full cloud migration, it's important to realise that these processes aren't instantaneous. A simple IT support transition or licence migration might wrap up in a couple of months, while a full-scale cloud migration could demand around six months, post signing an agreement. This, coupled with many law firms locked into 3-year contracts with substantial notice periods, underscores the necessity of timely planning and execution.
