What is the New Commerce Experience (NCE)?
NCE is the present and future of how Microsoft offers cloud products and services to customers. Azure plan subscriptions are already on the new commerce platform. Now, Microsoft is expanding the new commerce cloud product portfolio to include seat-based or license-based offers such as Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, Power Platform, and Windows 365.
The intention of NCE is to simplify and streamline the Microsoft product experience and to offer more options for tailoring subscriptions to business needs and goals.
