Microsoft has launched Copilot for Business, bringing the full Microsoft Copilot experience to Microsoft 365 Business customers at around 30% less cost than M365 Copilot.
What Copilot for Business delivers:
-
Drafts, rewrites and summarises emails in Outlook
-
Creates and refines documents in Word
-
Builds presentations from simple prompts in PowerPoint
-
Analyses trends and insights in Excel
-
Acts as a natural language assistant across Teams, OneDrive and SharePoint
Why this matters:
You get enterprise grade AI productivity without moving to enterprise licensing. Microsoft is also offering discounted M365 + Copilot for Business bundles, making this the most cost-effective entry point to Copilot.
Note: Discounts apply only when Copilot is purchased as a single bundle SKU.
Microsoft Teams Is Back in the Bundle
Following an EU settlement, Microsoft has removed the restrictions on Teams bundling.
What’s changed:
-
Customers can now choose with Teams or without Teams SKUs
-
Applies to all customers, regardless of previous licensing
-
Greater flexibility when adding users, renewing or upgrading licences
Why this matters:
Simpler licensing, fewer workarounds, and better value for organisations that rely on Teams as their core collaboration platform.
