As is the norm for any Microsoft conference, the Microsoft Ignite 2023 announcements came thick and fast. Most of the announcements featured a heavy emphasis on some form of Copilot. Quite how useful all this AI-powered assistance will be in real life remains to be seen. Here's the Practical365 take on the important Microsoft 365 announcements at Ignite.
In this blog, Steve Goodman gives his first impressions of Microsoft 365 Copilot based on what was shown at Microsoft's Envision Conference in London.
On this episode of the Practical 365 podcast, Rich and Paul talk about Microsoft 365 Copilot GA, The Experts Conference, Microsoft Ignite being sold out, and Exchange Web Services retiring soon.
On the show this week, Steve Goodman and Paul Robichaux discuss Storm-0558, TEC 2023, new Azure costs, Copilot news, and more!
This week we are joined on the show by Microsoft MVP and Practical 365 Editor, Tony Redmond. On this episode, Steve Picks Tony's brain on Copilot, On-premises, and his upcoming TEC session.
Microsoft 365 Copilot is only available for 4 Microsoft 365 SKUs. There's no technical reason why this is so. Instead, Microsoft is using Copilot as a selling point to convince customers to upgrade to Microsoft 365 E5 (preferably). All's fair in love and business, and this is just an example of product management for maximized profit.
Microsoft 365 Copilot costs $30/user/month. At that price level, you don't want to assign Copilot licenses to all and sundry in your tenant. That's a recipe for dramatic overspending. In this article, we consider how to select people to receive Copilot licenses on the basis of real need rather than want.
On the show this week, we discuss Azure AD getting rebranded as Entra ID, Microsoft announces Copilot pricing, new features to the roadmap, plus we are getting a new practical 365 Podcast co-host.
