Webinar Microsoft 365 (E7) + Copilot Licensing in 2026: What’s Changing, What to Buy, and How to Control Cost

Why 2026 Changes Everything 

Microsoft licensing is entering its most disruptive shift in over a decade. 

As Microsoft accelerates its AI-first commercial strategy, organisations are facing a fundamentally different reality one defined by CSP-led contracts, Copilot anchored licensing, AI consumption metrics, and tighter security and compliance expectations.

Traditional enterprise licensing constructs are being dismantled. Predictable volume-based discounts are giving way to modular subscriptions, dynamic pricing, and outcome driven commercial models. For many organisations, this shift is already creating cost volatility, governance gaps, and reduced leverage at renewal.

Decisions made in the next 6–12 months will lock in Microsoft cost structures, security baselines, and AI capability for years. 

This executive level session will help you understand what’s changing, why it matters, and how to stay in control. Insight experts will unpack: 

• The accelerating shift from EA to CSP
  • Why CSP is now Microsoft’s primary commercial motion 
  • What this means for pricing predictability, renewal leverage, and governance 

• The real economics of Copilot & AI 
  
  • How Copilot is being positioned as a foundational SKU 
    
  • Where AI consumption is creating hidden cost exposure 
    
  • What “good governance” looks like in an AI-driven Microsoft environment 

• Futureproofing your Microsoft strategy 
  
  • How to benchmark against Microsoft’s new pricing and security reality 
    
  • Avoiding the cost escalations, we’re seeing in unprepared renewals 
    
  • Aligning CSP, Copilot, and security investments to real business outcomes 

• What is Microsoft E7 — and when does it matter? 
  
  • Why Microsoft is raising the security baseline beyond E5 
    
  • When E7 becomes commercially and operationally justified 
    
  • How to right-size E7 adoption without over licensing
