At Ignite 2023 some new upgrades or add-ons to our base Microsoft 365 licenses were announced. This adds to a growing stable of potential add-ons for the core Microsoft 365 apps to turn your subscription from basic to premium - but is this really what these extra cost items achieve?

One of the ways to boost your business with technology is to work with specialist consultants. But, if you're just starting with this approach, why should you use consultants, what should those relationships look like, and how should you work with the consultants you choose?

Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available, but many who were planning to buy licenses on November 1 have been disappointed and confused to find they are not eligible.
