Cloud Vendor News & Updates:

1: Important Update: Changes to Microsoft NCE Promotions:

Microsoft has announced updates to several New Commerce Experience (NCE) promotions, including selected offers such as Microsoft 365 E5 and Microsoft 365 E7. As part of these changes, the promotion end dates for certain offers have been revised and may now expire earlier than previously communicated.

We recommend reviewing any planned purchases, renewals, or migrations that may be impacted by these promotional changes.

To view the latest promotion details, including updated eligibility criteria and end dates, please refer to the New Commerce Experience (NCE) Promotions page.

As promotions are subject to change by Microsoft, we encourage customers to regularly review the NCE Promotions page to ensure they have access to the most current information.

If you have any questions regarding your subscriptions or upcoming renewals, please contact your Insight representative.

2: Updates to Microsoft Copilot and the Microsoft Copilot App:

Microsoft is introducing an updated Copilot experience designed to provide a simpler and more unified user interface.

The new app combines Copilot Chat, image creation capabilities, and direct access to Microsoft 365 applications and content, helping users work more efficiently from a single location.

Existing work and personal accounts will remain separated, with organizational security, privacy, compliance, and administrative controls continuing to apply for business users.

Some features, including Group Chat, Podcasts, and Deep Research, will be retired as part of this transition.
