MORE INFORMATION

Who is this promotion aimed at?

The Bridge to the Cloud promotion is aimed at customers who are committed to their cloud journey and intend to complete the migration by the end of the promotion period.

At the end of the promotion term, enrolled customers will move to the monthly licence fee and will no longer receive the upgrade benefits for their on-premise solution.

Can I still use my On premise environment if I activate this promotion?

Yes, customers who sign up for this promotion can continue to use their on-premise product in parallel with Business Central Online while maintaining the upgrade benefits on their on-premise licence for the duration of the promotion.

What are the customer benefits of using the Bridge to the Cloud promotion?

Customers who choose to renew their Enhancement plan through the Bridge to the Cloud promotion receive the following benefits:

Dual access rights and degradation to your Business Central or NAV on premise environment.
Monthly billing option
Benefits of the improvement plan for the duration of the promotion.
Dynamics 365 Business Central On line licences for future migration to the cloud.

Dynamics 365

Dynamics 365 Cloud Migration Promotion

New promotion offering discounts to drive migration of on-premise customers to the cloud.

It also supports customers who have started their digital transformation journey under migration offers to transition to the new promotional pricing.

Which customers are eligible for the promotion?

Local Volume Licensing (VL) customers with an active Software Assurance (SA) plan.

40% discount for Dynamics 365 Online Services with a three-year subscription,

Dual-Access rights (Dual-Access rights - simultaneous use on-premises and in the cloud) that allow users access before the on-premises solution is shut down when the migration to the cloud is completed.

Supports phased cloud migrations (allowing organisations to add new users during the term of the promotion).

How many days will the customer have dual-use rights and is there a time limit?

Dual use rights (and dual access rights where applicable) have no time limit. The customer can access both on-premises and cloud solutions simultaneously for as long as needed. Some customers may need to remain hybrid for some processes on a long-term basis, for example, due to regulatory requirements.

Will customers renewing their retired cloud offerings see a price increase?

Previous cloud migration offers typically offered a 40% discount, which is also provided in this new promotion.

However, this promotion provides price protection with a 3-year subscription period, which was previously not available with discounted offers that only had a 12-month period.

Power Platform

Power Apps pricing and licensing updates - 1 October 2021

To make the platform more accessible, whether customers are starting with a small number of users or deploying across the entire organisation, Microsoft is announcing price reductions for Power Apps Per Apps and Power Apps Per User. Starting October 1, the price will be reduced to approximately 50% of the current price.

Power Apps per User will be priced at $20 per user/month (no minimum licensing or other purchase requirements). Plan entitlements remain unchanged, including the ability for users to run unlimited applications and portals.
Power Apps per App will be priced at $5 per user/app/month (there will be no minimum licensing or other purchase requirements). In this case there are reduced entitlements, giving users only the ability to run one app or access one portal, in contrast to the current entitlements of two apps and one portal.

Note: Customers with Power Apps per App subscriptions purchased before 1 October 2021 will retain their current entitlement for the duration of their contract.
