Key Takeaways
- Overview: Companies are drowning in AI tools, most of which "do not talk to each other." Today, Microsoft announced Microsoft 365 E7: The Frontier Suite, officially launching May 1st for $99. The suite brings together Microsoft 365 E5, M365 Copilot Wave 3, and Agent 365.
- Manage agents: IDC projects 1.3 billion AI agents by 2028, creating major governance, access control, and data management challenges that Agent 365 addresses by giving teams a single place to track, secure, and manage them all.
- Big idea: Work IQ, which will be explored at AI Agent & Copilot Summit, signals that Copilot has gone mainstream, with 160% YoY growth and large-scale enterprise deployments. "This isn't experimentation anymore. This is enterprise AI going mainstream."
