When it comes to business productivity, Microsoft 365 remains a powerhouse of tools, offering everything from the quintessential Word and Excel to the collaboration hub Microsoft Teams. With the introduction of Microsoft 365 Copilot, the software suite is taken to the next level, bringing unprecedented productivity gains.

Why Microsoft 365 Licensing Needs Optimisation

Before we discuss the dynamic capabilities of Copilot, it's crucial to understand why Microsoft 365 licensing optimisation is imperative for any business.
