Microsoft is updating the price of most Microsoft 365 commercial plans on 1 July 2026. Business Premium, the plan we standardise our customers on, is not changing. Most other Business and Enterprise suites will increase by between 5.26% and 33.33%.

If you're already on Business Premium:
You're already on the plan we recommend, and the value is already yours. Your price for that plan stays the same.

If you're on Business Basic or Standard:
The step up to Business Premium is smaller than most expect. With other plans rising on 1 July, Business Premium is often the strongest move. And it's the plan we'd recommend.

If you’re on Microsoft 365 E3, E5, F1 or F3:
We don’t recommend any changes to your plan, as these are likely a requirement for the specific setup of your business or organisation.

Contact us before 1 July if you'd like to review your plan or look at moving to Business Premium.

Claude Opus 4.8 is now available in Microsoft 365 Copilot.

For businesses, that means better support for the work that often pushes AI to its limits: analysing complex documents, solving technical problems, writing code, conducting research and working through multi-step reasoning.

Opus 4.8 is designed to be more reliable when dealing with ambiguity and uncertainty, making it better suited to higher-stakes work.

All within Microsoft 365.

Here’s an AI prompt to ask this Friday 👇

“Act as a proactive business coach and strategist. Summarise what I achieved this week, what moved the business forward, what distracted me, what still needs attention, and my top 3 priorities for next week.”

Then paste your notes (or if you’ve got Copilot it can safely access your emails and documents automatically).

Most people start Monday trying to remember where they left off. A 5-minute Friday review means you start next week with clarity, not catch-up.

If you want practical AI skills you can actually use at work, Microsoft is running AI Skills Fest, a free global online event from June 4–14 with live sessions, workshops, certifications and hands-on hackathons.

Some of our team are especially looking forward to the hackathons, where participants build and experiment with real AI agents, workflows and automation ideas in a collaborative environment.

There’s also sessions focused on Copilot, cybersecurity and real-world business AI use cases. See the comments to register.

Finance teams are drowning in manual processing, disconnected systems and reporting workflows that consume hours every week.

AI is changing that by analysing financial data in real time, identifying anomalies faster, automating repetitive reporting tasks and improving forecasting accuracy across the business.

To get faster approvals, earlier fraud detection and better compliance in your financial services business, get in touch with our local experts.

Cyber security failures start quietly through weak passwords, outdated systems, unmanaged devices and businesses assuming nothing has been missed until staff lose access, files disappear or operations stop.

Our cyber security audit identifies your vulnerabilities across systems, Microsoft 365, devices, backups and user access before those gaps become downtime, data loss or disruption.

Your office manager shouldn’t be the one fixing IT every time something breaks. In a growing business, it never stays as one issue. A login fails, a laptop drops off, a system slows down, and before long work has stalled while someone internally tries to sort it out.

That’s where reactive IT starts costing you, not just in support, but in lost time across the team. We step in before it reaches that point by monitoring and managing your IT environment so issues are picked up early and handled properly, rather than turning into disruptions your team has to work around.

When something does need attention, your team logs it, we connect in and resolve it, and if it needs hands-on work, we handle it onsite without it bouncing around internally.

The result is simple. Work keeps moving and IT stops interrupting the day.

Most businesses know they need AI. They just don’t know how to turn it into faster workflows, reduced manual work, and real efficiency gains.

We map your operations, identify where AI will actually remove friction, then implement and automate the processes that matter.

Call us on 08 8211 6000 to start streamlining how your business or non-profit runs.

Most businesses don’t operate the same way, so why should your IT support?

Commuserv builds custom Managed Service Packages tailored to the way Adelaide businesses actually work, with support designed around your team, IT systems, operational requirements and business goals rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

The result is clearer support, better alignment between technology and operations, and confidence that your business is backed by a local team that understands how you work.
