Microsoft Action Pack - what to consider?
Hi, We are now considering about buying the Action Pack to replace the current Office 365 licenses, excluding the Basic licenses, but the ones with desktop applications (converting those to basic...
If I were you I would not consider Action packs anymore.
The Partner Benefit packages are way more interesting and more value for money.
They consist of the M365 suits, Bing Chat Enterprise, Dynamics BC & SE + Azure credits.
Only real consideration in my opinion would be CAL rights. Action packs give O365 E3 + EMS E3 and the benefit packages give you M365 BP. (which should be the preferred option imo*)
Regarding Copilot in benefit packages - it is Bing Chat Enterprise and no real Copilot for M365.

- Hi there. I'm not sure if you would know this, but I currently have a M365 Business Basic subscription. I'd like to upgrade to the Action pack or Partner benefits package. I'm mainly interested in Copilot and Power Platform admin/governance functions. Do you have recommendation on best approach to "upgrade" or modify my subscription?
- Copilot will be included in the Benefit Packages in the future (no sooner than early next year). Power Platform isn't included in any benefit packages, for as far as I know. So you'll need to purchase those as a regular customer.
- OK thank you!
Hi,
I understood that the Action Pack isn't going to be available anymore and Copilot wasn't part of it, so I don't think that is the correct solution.
Hopefully someone who knows these better can provide a better answer!
