Microsoft 365 Copilot + Agent 365.
The two AI products every tenant needs in 2026.

Microsoft 365 Copilot reached the productivity-enabled mainstream; Microsoft Agent 365 went GA on May 1, 2026 as the new control plane for autonomous AI agents β€” Microsoft, third-party (Salesforce Agentforce, ServiceNow Now Assist, Workday Illuminate), or open-source. Together they are the foundation of the new Microsoft 365 E7 Frontier Suite ($99/user/mo).

Microsoft 365 Copilot

Copilot is bundled in M365 E5 and the new E7. The license is the easy part. The four-phase rollout below β€” especially the governance pre-flight β€” is what keeps you out of the headlines.

  1. Phase 1

    Copilot Readiness Sprint

    Tenant audit, license posture, identity hygiene, SharePoint Permission State Report. 2 weeks.

  2. Phase 2

    Governance Pre-Flight

    Sensitivity labels, Purview DLP for the Copilot policy location, oversharing remediation. 4-8 weeks.

  3. Phase 3

    Pilot + Adoption

    50-200 user pilot, role-based training, prompt library, 9 hours/month/user benchmark. 6-8 weeks.

  4. Phase 4

    Production + Agent Factory

    Wave-based rollout 500-1,000 users every 2 weeks. Custom Studio agents at 3-5x ROI uplift.

NEW Β· GA May 1, 2026

Microsoft Agent 365

A centralized control plane that solves agent sprawl β€” the rapid accumulation of AI agents from Microsoft, Salesforce, ServiceNow, custom Copilot Studio builds, and open-source frameworks β€” by giving IT and SecOps one place to govern them all.

  • Agent Registry

    Single source of truth for every agent in your tenant. Discover unmanaged "shadow agents" and quarantine the unsanctioned ones with one click.

  • Unique Agent Identities

    Every agent gets a Microsoft Entra identity. Apply adaptive, risk-based Conditional Access. Enforce least-privilege the same way you do for humans.

  • Runtime Protection

    Microsoft Defender monitors agents in real time. Detects excessive data retrieval, prompt-injection attempts, and dynamically restricts or pauses compromised agents.

  • Data Governance

    Microsoft Purview policies extend to agents. Sensitivity labels propagate. DLP blocks oversharing. Sensitive files cannot be improperly processed or leaked.

  • Observability Dashboard

    Unified visibility into agent performance, latency, and security posture. Role-based reporting tracks business impact for IT, SecOps, and the line of business.

Standalone$15/user/mo
Bundled in M365 E7 Frontier Suite$99/user/mo

E7 = E5 + Microsoft 365 Copilot + Microsoft Entra Suite + Agent 365. Saves $18/user/mo vs buying Γ  la carte.

What this means for your renewal:if you're on E5 with Copilot today, the math favors E7 at next renewal β€” you save $18/user/mo and get Agent 365 + Microsoft Entra Suite included. We run the four-scenario decision framework on every Microsoft 365 license review.

What you can count on

93% of tickets touched within 15 minutes. 100% of after-hours messages acknowledged the same business day. Every engagement staffed by a named senior engineer.

What gets in the way

The three things that keep IT from being a competitive advantage.

Reactive IT is expensive IT.

Every unplanned outage costs more than the fix. The average SMB loses $5,600/hour to downtime β€” and that’s before you count the morale tax of your team waiting on a ticket that never seems to close.

See your hourly downtime cost

Cyber threats don’t announce themselves.

The average breach dwells in a network for 204 days before anyone notices. By the time your antivirus flags something, the attacker has had six months to decide what matters. The goal isn’t alerts β€” it’s visibility before there’s anything to alert on.

Score your security gaps

One IT person isn’t a strategy.

If your entire IT capability lives in one person’s head β€” and their inbox, and their spreadsheet β€” then every vacation, promotion, or resignation is an operations risk. A team of one can’t be on-call, strategic, and growing the business at the same time.

Sound familiar?

Is your IT more hindrance than help?

Tickets that never close. A patchwork of vendors. A breach you heard about from an employee. You don't need another contract β€” you need the whole problem to stop being yours.

  • One 90-minute conversation with a real senior engineer.
  • A scored report of what’s working and what’s quietly breaking.
  • Zero commitment. No sales sequence. No credit card.

Live on Google.
Fetched, not faked.

Our Google reviews pull from the Places API in real time. When we have named client quotes with permission, they ship as full write-ups on our case studies pageβ€” not as one-line testimonial cards.

Free self-serve tools

Score your risk. Price your downtime. No call required.

Two short diagnostics built by our senior engineers. Answer a handful of questions, get a scored report with next steps β€” yours to keep either way.

The questions we always get

Before you pick up the phone.

Straight answers so the health-check call can skip the basics and go straight to the real work.

What does it cost?

We price every engagement custom because we do the whole job, not line items. The free IT health check gives you a scored roadmap and β€” only if you want one β€” a proposal. No seat-count games, no package tiers that leave the security you actually need in a higher bracket.

How long is the contract?

We lean on honest, results-driven relationships. Most clients stay for years because the service is good. Terms are discussed transparently in the proposal β€” nothing hidden.

How fast can you start?

Kickoff inside a week. Most migrations run 2–4 weeks depending on stack complexity. We project-manage the transition from your current provider end to end β€” you stay focused on your business.

Do you work outside Canada and the US?

Our offices sit in Vancouver (HQ), Toronto, Miami, Orlando, and LA. We support remote teams across both countries; if you have an international office we handle time-zone coverage through our 24/7 SOC.

What if we're already with an MSP?

Most of our clients came from another MSP. We'll scope the switch during your free health check β€” contract overlap, data migration, knowledge transfer β€” and project-manage the handoff so your team doesn't feel it.

What happens if we end up not working well together?

Most clients stay for years, but the proposal spells out exit terms up front β€” data portability, notice period, and handoff support. Your environment stays yours: runbooks, credentials, documentation, monitoring configs all transfer cleanly. We'd rather you leave on good terms than stay resentful. The point is to be the last MSP you ever feel trapped by.
