As organisations accelerate AI adoption, many are still operating without the necessary security, governance, and visibility to support its safe use.
In partnership with Dicker Data and Microsoft, New Era Technology recently hosted a Secure AI Productivity Immersion Briefing, highlighting a growing gap between productivity gains and security readiness across Microsoft 365 environments.
With Microsoft 365 pricing changes taking effect from 1 July 2026, now is a critical time to reassess your approach. According to Microsoft’s official announcement, pricing updates will apply across multiple Business and Enterprise plans, with increases impacting core suites such as Business Basic and Business Standard (View Microsoft pricing update). For many organisations, this means paying more without unlocking the full value of modern security and AI capabilities.
The opportunity is clear: move to a more secure, future-ready foundation with Microsoft 365 Business Premium, which brings together security, device management, and data protection to support AI adoption at scale. With pricing changes imminent, organisations that act now can modernise their environment, reduce risk, and prepare for Copilot-enabled productivity.
