We are excited to announce that as of today, Microsoft have made Copilot for 365 available to all organisations, removing the minimum order requirement.
What does this announcement mean for organisations like yours?
Until now, Copilot for 365 was only available with a minimum order of 300 seats, a 3 year commitment and a waiting list. However, after today’s announcement, Copilot is now available to all small and medium-sized businesses, non-profits, and educational institutions with no minimum order size, right away, and only a 1 year commitment.
This means organisations can establish pilot groups and Proofs of Concept to help with adoption and uptake of this game-changing tool; a tool that will save your staff hundreds of hours of time on administrative tasks via features like intelligent document summarisation, email drafting, data analysis, content generation, meeting summaries, document creation and much more.
This is a major step forward in Microsoft’s mission to empower every person on the planet to achieve more. We encourage you to check out the official announcement from Microsoft for more details here: Bringing the full power of Copilot to more people and businesses – The Official Microsoft Blog
