Microsoft 365 E7: The Frontier Suite is a bundled offering designed to help organizations move from AI experimentation to consistent, enterprise-wide use. It brings together three main elements into a single package: 1) Microsoft 365 E5 2) Microsoft 365 Copilot (Wave 3 capabilities, powered by Work IQ) 3) Microsoft Agent 365 On top of that, it includes Microsoft Entra Suite and advanced security capabilities across Defender, Intune, and Purview. The idea is to give IT and business leaders one integrated solution for productivity, AI, identity, device management, data protection, and agent governance. Key details: - General availability: May 1 - Price: $99 per user (available with or without Teams) - Value: Priced below purchasing the individual components à la carte, so it’s intended to simplify licensing and lower the total cost of deploying enterprise AI at scale. In practical terms, E7 is aimed at organizations that don’t want to stitch together multiple tools and licenses, but instead want a single, trusted suite that covers both people and AI agents under one security and management model.

Work IQ is the intelligence layer that connects Microsoft 365 Copilot and agents to the way your organization actually works. Instead of relying only on a large language model and generic connectors, Work IQ: - Understands how people in your organization work - Knows who they collaborate with - Uses the content and context they work on every day This context allows Copilot to move beyond one-off, “zero-shot” content generation and become more accurate, relevant, and trusted in real work scenarios. With Wave 3 of Microsoft 365 Copilot, Work IQ powers new agentic experiences directly inside familiar apps like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook. Employees get: - An enhanced Copilot chat experience - The ability to create and refine documents, presentations, and spreadsheets in context - The option to build their own task-focused agents within the apps they already use Copilot is also model-diverse by design. It can use leading models from OpenAI and Anthropic (including Claude, now available in mainline Copilot chat via the Frontier program) and operate across different clouds and data services. This gives organizations flexibility and choice without locking them into a single model. Adoption data underscores how it’s being used in practice: - Paid Copilot seats grew more than 160% year over year - Daily active usage increased 10x - The number of customers deploying Copilot at significant scale (more than 35,000 seats) tripled year over year - 90% of the Fortune 500 now use Copilot In short, Work IQ helps Copilot tap into your organization’s collective intelligence so individuals can work faster and more confidently with AI that understands their real work context.

Microsoft Agent 365 is a control plane for AI agents. It’s designed for IT, security, and operations teams that need a single place to observe, govern, manage, and secure AI agents across the organization. Why it matters: - AI agents are growing quickly. IDC predicts 1.3 billion agents in circulation by 2028. - 80% of the Fortune 500 are already using Microsoft agents, especially in complex industries like manufacturing, financial services, and retail. - Without centralized oversight, agent sprawl can create blind spots, reduce ROI, and introduce security risks. What Agent 365 provides: - A unified registry and management layer for agents - Governance and security controls using the same infrastructure and protections used to manage people today - Visibility into where and how agents are being used across workflows Key details: - General availability: May 1 - Price: $15 per user Early usage signals are strong: - In just two months of preview, tens of millions of agents have been registered in Agent 365 - Tens of thousands of customers are already adopting it to govern and scale AI agents - Inside Microsoft (as “Customer Zero”), there is visibility into more than 500,000 agents - Over the last 28 days, those agents have generated more than 65,000 responses per day for employees, supporting scenarios like research, coding, sales intelligence, customer triage, and HR self-service When combined with Microsoft 365 Copilot and Work IQ in the Frontier Suite, Agent 365 helps organizations move from isolated AI experiments to a managed, secure, and scalable AI environment built on Intelligence and Trust.
