Why Canberra
A Microsoft 365 CSP that configures what it sells.
Most Microsoft 365 resellers send you an invoice and little else. Modern 42 is different: we are a Microsoft Solutions Partner for Security with an Identity and Access Management specialisation, with AGSVA-cleared engineers and more than 100 IAM and PAM projects behind us. When we sell you Microsoft 365, the people behind the licence understand Entra ID, Conditional Access and Privileged Identity Management, not just the price list.
Canberra also carries some of the country's most demanding security expectations. Commonwealth and ACT bodies work to the Protective Security Policy Framework and the ASD Essential Eight, Defence-industry suppliers carry DISP obligations, and government remains among the most targeted sectors for state-linked cyber activity. That makes the Microsoft 365 tier you buy a security decision as much as a procurement one, because it sets which identity and threat-protection controls are even available to meet those obligations.
Getting that tier right is also a budget decision, and we right-size rather than upsell. We look at how your people actually work, the obligations you carry, and the licences you already hold, then recommend the Microsoft 365 mix that fits your organisation, not the longest invoice. That can mean different plans for different roles, retiring licences you no longer use, or adding only the specific add-ons and Copilot seats you genuinely need.

Microsoft 365 price increase, 1 July 2026
Renew before 30 June to lock in current pricing.
Microsoft has confirmed Microsoft 365 price increases from 1 July 2026 on Business Basic, Business Standard, Office 365 E3, and Microsoft 365 F3, E3 and E5. Business Premium and Office 365 E1 are not changing. The new price applies at your next renewal after 1 July, so renewing before 30 June can lock current pricing for your term.
Australian dollar pricing is indicative until Microsoft publishes local rates. Modern 42 confirms exact CSP pricing on quote (figures as at May 2026).

FAQ
Microsoft 365 CSP in Canberra
Common questions from ACT organisations buying or switching Microsoft 365 licensing.
Yes, this is a core part of what we do. We do not simply quote the most expensive plan. We review how your people work, the security and compliance obligations you carry, and the licences you already hold, then recommend the right-sized Microsoft 365 mix for your organisation. That often means different tiers for different roles, retiring licences you no longer use, and adding only the specific add-ons or Copilot seats you genuinely need. You can model the options with our Microsoft 365 pricing calculator, and we confirm the right plan with a short licensing review.
Commonwealth agencies buy their core Microsoft 365 licences through the whole-of-government arrangement. Modern 42 typically helps the organisations outside that arrangement: ACT Government bodies, Defence-industry companies, statutory entities and Canberra commercial firms. We can also help any organisation get the configuration and identity work right, separate from where the licence is bought.
Yes. Modern 42 is 100% Australian-owned and headquartered in Canberra. We are not a subsidiary, franchise or local arm of an overseas firm. Our engineers hold active AGSVA security clearances, and your IP and identity architecture stay in Australia, supported by Australian-based engineers.
Microsoft confirmed price rises from 1 July 2026 for several plans (Business Basic, Business Standard, Office 365 E3, Microsoft 365 E3 and E5, and frontline plans). Business Premium and Office 365 E1 are unchanged. The new price applies at your next renewal after 1 July, so renewing before 30 June can lock current pricing for your term. We run a pre-renewal review to confirm the right move for your plan mix.
Yes. This is the core of what makes us different from a commodity reseller. Microsoft 365 plans include Microsoft Entra ID and, on the right tiers, Privileged Identity Management and Conditional Access. We can supply the licences and configure these controls as a single engagement. See our Canberra IAM consulting services for the engineering detail.
Yes, and switching does not move or risk your data. Your Microsoft 365 tenant stays exactly where it is; only the billing relationship and delegated administration change. We walk you through the Partner Center process step by step. See our guide on how to switch your Microsoft CSP partner.
