M365 Copilot for CSP Partners

Is there a possibility for CSP (direct / indirect) partners copilot licenses under a volume of 300? (very difficult for partners to sale if you can't even test it yourself).

      Strangely Copilot is mentioned in both the PDF and blog post, but is nowhere to be found on the https://partner.microsoft.com/en-GB/partnership/compare-programs.
      Also, the PDF mentions "Microsoft 365 Business Premium
      - includes Copilot (formerly Bing Chat Enterprise)". Is this the same as https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/enterprise/copilot-for-microsoft-365?

    DominikMeier I was told by Microsoft in a briefing the day before the launch that:-

     

    a) Co-Pilot will be available for CSP partners at some point early 2024 

    b) the E3 and E5 pre-req would not apply, nor would the 300 seat min once its launch on CSP. 

     

    Will have to wait and see if thats true.

      some point early 2024 normally means before June, do you have the same experience?
      I see nothing in the Ignite notes, roadmaps etc,, the Silence is defenning on this subject

        Steven_Leach remaining tight lipped.  I would be really surprised if it’s available before the end of q1 to anyone other than the enterprise.  They’ll want to release some enterprise case studies.  That’s pure speculation but it’s logical. 

        I would like to think that the noise being made would persuade Microsoft to make copilot available to partners for testing at least soon…. I’ll keep my ears to the ground. 

  • Great question, we are also looking for a copilot demo environment for partners.

    Interestingly, the minimum of 300 seats is not mentioned here https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/enterprise/microsoft-365-copilot#Pricing

  • This would be great, I have submitted a support request over at CDX for CoPilot demo tenants but no ETA yet received from support. I guess we will have to wait for Ignite.
