Microsoft Ignite 2025
Microsoft Ignite 2025 introduced transformative updates aimed at empowering partners in the AI-first era. Highlights include the evolution of the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program with the new Frontier Partner designation, recognising organisations that embed AI deeply into operations.
Microsoft launched Agent 365, a centralised control plane for managing and securing AI agents, addressing governance and compliance challenges as businesses scale agentic workflows. Updates to Microsoft 365 Copilot include the new Work IQ intelligence layer for contextual awareness and a dedicated Copilot Business SKU for SMBs at $21 per user/month. Pre-built agents for sales, HR, and SharePoint automation were announced, alongside expanded skilling investments and marketplace enhancements to accelerate partner growth.
These innovations position CSP partners to lead in AI-driven transformation and deliver measurable business outcomes.
