Microsoft has said that it is cutting the price for its standard technical and billing support service for Azure by about two-thirds, dropping the cost from $300 per month down to a fixed $100 per month, and New Signature believes that Microsoft’s support changes are very positive for end customers, and could encourage more customers to adopt Azure.
Our own Reed Wiedower, CTO of New Signature, went on the record with CRN to discuss the changes, stating, “In order to obtain support for workloads in the past, we recommended most customers who didn’t have an Enterprise Agreement purchase the Professional Direct support level, which remains a $1,000 per month charge.”
