Microsoft 365 E7
Overview
What is Microsoft 365 E7?
Microsoft 365 E7 is designed for organizations that want AI to work across the entire business, not just in pilots or isolated teams. It equips every employee to work with Copilot and AI agents in their daily tools, while giving the organization a single, trusted foundation to run AI at scale.
M365 E7 combines the full E5 security and compliance foundation with a new, integrated AI stack delivered as a single, governed platform. Unlike past suites that primarily added features or workloads, M365 E7 introduces a human-led, agent-operated system of work where AI can take action, not just generate content. It also adds a unified governance layer for AI agents and cross-app intelligence that earlier suites did not include, enabling organizations to securely operationalize AI at scale.
Microsoft Agent 365—The control plane for agents
Microsoft 365 E7 includes Agent 365, which will be generally available to customers on May 1, 2026. Agent 365 extends the infrastructure that customers use for managing users and leverages familiar capabilities that have been adapted to agent needs. Agent 365 includes leading Microsoft security and compliance solutions —Defender, Entra, and Purview— to protect and govern agents.
With Microsoft Agent 365, organizations don’t need to reinvent the wheel because the fastest path to confidently deploying agents is by managing them in a similar way to how they manage and secure their users. It delivers observability, governance, and security for all agents across their organization.
Features
The partner opportunity
Partners play a central role in translating Microsoft 365 E7 and Agent 365 into business execution, from scenario design and deployment to adoption, integration, and governance from day one.
Services and solutions partners: Your opportunity is to own the end-to-end Frontier Firm transformation by building an AI practice that spans advisory, deployment, and adoption through a Center of Excellence (CoE). Lead with AI advisory to align IT and business leaders on high value scenarios and a clear path from pilots to production, then deploy Copilot and agents with confidence using the right guardrails across identity, data, security, and compliance.
Build additional value by activating out-of-the-box agents and developing custom agents integrated with line-of-business systems, enabling customers to confidently adopt agentic solutions at-scale with comprehensive Agent governance and security services provided through Agent 365. Finally, drive sustained impact through adoption and CoE motions including training, change management, and ongoing AgentOps managed services.
“KPMG sees Microsoft Agent 365 as a notable development for organizations seeking to scale agentic AI responsibly. By offering a more unified control plane for governance, security, and observability, Agent 365 supports enterprises as they move beyond fragmented pilots toward a more consistent, production-ready approach to deploying agents.”
Cherie Gartner, Global Client Lead Partner, KPMG US
To accelerate Microsoft 365 E5 to E7 upsell and Agent 365 adoption, Copilot + Power Accelerate will include Agent 365 across Immersion Briefings, Envisioning and PoC engagements, and Deployment Accelerators starting April 1, 2026. Partners will also receive performance credit for incremental revenue from Agent 365 and Microsoft 365 E7 SKUs, directly aligning Copilot expansion with Microsoft 365 E7 growth. This strengthens your ability to turn Copilot momentum into governed agent scale and long-term services revenue.
Channel and CSP partners: Your opportunity is to make the upgrade path repeatable, then attach services that accelerate time to value. There are multiple customer scenarios that are an excellent starting point for your engagement: customers already using Microsoft 365 E5 plus Copilot, Microsoft 365 E3 plus Copilot customers, and Microsoft 365 E3 or E5 customers focused on scaling AI safely.
Package readiness workshops, security and governance assessments, deployment, and adoption offers, then establish an operating rhythm for optimization that can evolve into managed services as agent usage grows.
“Agent 365 unlocks the full potential of employees and agents—combining strong governance with the control organizations need to scale responsible AI without slowing innovation.”
Mattias Bruhn, Offering Manager, Atea Sweden
