Microsoft 365 Copilot

You must have valid licences for Microsoft 365 Business, Microsoft 365 Enterprise or Office 365 Enterprise to use Copilot for Microsoft 365, Copilot for Sales or Copilot for Service. To book via the Telekom Cloud Marketplace, you also need an account for the marketplace.

Microsoft 365 Copilot, Microsoft 365 Copilot for Sales, and Microsoft 365 Copilot for Service are currently only available as annual subscriptions. However, since 1 December 2024, more flexible billing options have been available. You can continue to pay for your Microsoft Copilot licences annually in advance or switch to monthly billing. The term of the Copilot subscription remains one year even with monthly billing. Please note that the licence costs are approximately 5 per cent higher with monthly billing. You can switch from annual to monthly billing when you renew your Copilot subscription.

We recommend starting with a limited number of licences (approx. 20 to 50) as a proof of concept (PoC). This allows you to test the functionality and gather feedback before a comprehensive rollout. A PoC allows you to evaluate Microsoft Copilot in a controlled environment, check user acceptance and make any necessary adjustments to work processes. This allows you to optimise the rollout and minimise the risk of complications.

After a successful test phase and positive user reviews, the product can be gradually rolled out to other teams or the entire organisation. A controlled rollout ensures that the product is well integrated and that users can be trained in a targeted manner. Use the Microsoft 365 Admin Centre to assign licences and monitor the rollout. Self-service purchases should be disabled to centrally control licence purchases and avoid unnecessary costs.

Telekom's Microsoft experts will be happy to assist you every step of the way. Take advantage of our comprehensive range of services.
