Syksyn 2026 Tekniset ja myynnin Kumppanitunnit
Microsoftin tekniset ja myynnille suunnatut Kumppanitunnit järjestetään nykyään Microsoftin globaalilla Skilling Hub -sivustolla, josta ne ovat kätevästi saatavilla myöhemmin tallenteina materiaaleineen. Rekisteröidy Skilling Hub -portaaliin, josta löydät kaikki Microsoftin kumppanikoulutukset yhdessä paikassa eri kielillä tai tekstitettyinä. Rekisteröityessäsi voi valita ne kielet, kuten suomi, jollaista sisältöä haluat ensisijaisesti nähdä englannin kielisen koulutussisällön lisäksi. Kumppanitunti on joka toinen perjantai klo 10–11 järjestettävä Microsoftin kumppaniwebinaari, joka on tarkoitettu kaikille Microsoftin kumppaneille. Tekniset ja kaupalliset aiheet vuorottelevat ja olet tervetullut molempiin webinaareihin. Webinaareissa keskitymme Microsoftin ratkaisualueiden teknologioiden mielenkiintoisiin uutuuksiin, MAICPP-kumppaniohjelmaan, kumppanietuihin ja ratkaisumyyntiin. Microsoftin suomalaiset arkkitehdit, tuotepäälliköt, ratkaisumyyjät ja kumppanivastaavat ovat poimineet kiinnostavia ja hyödyllisiä aiheita, joita he vuorollaan esittelevät. Syksyn 2026 ohjelma Alla ovat suunnitellut päivät ja teemat Syksylle 2026, joiden tarkka aihe päivitetään aina lähempänä esityspäivää tälle sivulle. 18.9.

Tekninen Kumppanitunti: Copilot Cowork: Copilot Credits ja kustannusten hallinta Katso tallenne tästä linkistä! Tässä teknisessä kumppanitunnissa käymme läpi Copilot Coworkin toimintamallin, kulutuksen seurannan sekä kustannusten hallinnan. Lisäksi tarkastelemme, millaisia mahdollisuuksia kulutuspohjainen AI luo kumppaneiden palveluliiketoiminnalle. Puhujat: Henri Nevalainen, Microsoft Niko Hiltunen, IAMCP 9.10. Kaupallinen Kumppanitunti: Onko julkisen pilven suvereniteetti riittävä huomioiden sen kaikki hyödyt? Rekisteröidy mukaan tästä linkistä! Euroopan unioni valmistelee uusia pilvi- ja tekoälyinfrastruktuuria koskevia linjauksia. Samanaikaisesti organisaatiot pohtivat, miten digitaalinen suvereniteetti, tekoälyn käyttöönotto, kyberturvallisuus ja sääntelyvaatimukset voidaan sovittaa yhteen käytännössä. Tervetuloa ajankohtaiseen webinaariin, jossa tarkastelemme Euroopan muuttuvaa pilviympäristöä ja mitä digitaalinen suvereniteetti tarkoittaa suomalaisille organisaatioille käytännössä. Lisäksi kerromme viimeisimmät tilannetiedot pilvipalveluiden kvanttiturvallisuuden ja Suomen datakeskushankkeiden osalta. Puhujat: Juha Karppinen, National Technology Officer, Microsoft Timo Salminen, Partner Solution Architect, Microsoft Niko Hiltunen, IAMCP 22.10. Kaupallinen Kumppanitunti: Frontier Transformation - Next level IQ & Uusi näkökulma kumppanin rooliin AI-aikakaudella Rekisteröidy mukaan tästä linkistä! AI-transformaatio on siirtymässä yksittäisten työkalujen käyttöönotosta kohti laajempaa työn ja toimintamallien uudistamista. Kumppanitunnilla havainnollistamme käytännön esimerkin avulla, kuinka organisaation toimintaa voidaan tarkastella digitaalisen genomin kautta, organisaatiosta ja tiedosta aina työhön, mikrotehtäviin ja agentteihin asti. Samalla tarkastelemme, mitä muutos tarkoittaa kumppaneille: miten tunnistaa uusia asiakasarvon mahdollisuuksia, rakentaa vaikuttavampia AI-keskusteluja ja auttaa asiakkaita etenemään kohti agenttipohjaista toimintamallia. Tule mukaan katsomaan demo ja pohtimaan, mitä seuraavan vaiheen AI-transformaatio mahdollistaa sinun asiakkaillesi. Puhujat: Hans Dolk, Asiakkuusjohtaja / Defence & Intelligence, Public Safety and National Security Juha Liljeblom,Teknologia Strategisti / Defence & Intelligence, Public Safety and National Security 23.10. Kaupallinen Kumppanitunti: Uudistunut Microsoft Copilot: ominaisuudet, käyttötavat ja kustannusten hallinta Rekisteröidy mukaan tästä linkistä! Microsoft Copilot uudistuu merkittävästi. Copilotista rakentuu paikka, jossa käyttäjä voi kysyä, delegoida, rakentaa ja automatisoida työtä. Uudet Home-, Code- ja Autopilot-kokemukset laajentavat Copilotin käyttöä päivittäisestä AI-avustamisesta kohti pidempikestoista agenttityötä ja käyttäjien itse rakentamia ratkaisuja. Webinaarin tavoitteena on antaa kumppaneille selkeä kokonaiskuva siitä, miten uudistunut Copilot muuttaa asiakkaiden AI:n käyttötapoja, lisensointi- ja kulutuskeskustelua sekä kumppaneille avautuvia mahdollisuuksia. Puhujat: Harri Mikkanen, Microsoft Tuulia Piehl, Microsoft Henri Nevalainen, Microsoft Eetu Hämäläinen, IAMCP 30.10. Tekninen Kumppanitunti: Villi vai hallittu? Tekoälyagentit hallintaan Microsoft Agent 365:llä Rekisteröitymislinkki päivittyy tähän Agentteja syntyy organisaatioihin nopeammin kuin kukaan ehtii niitä seurata. Niitä rakentavat työntekijät, niitä hankitaan kumppaneilta ja niitä kytketään liiketoiminnan dataan ja työkaluihin. Kenellä on oikeudet mihinkin, kuka agentin omistaa, kun tekijä lähtee talosta, ja mihin luottamuksellinen data päätyy? Tässä teknisessä kumppanitunnissa käymme läpi, miten Microsoft Agent 365:llä saadaan agentit näkyviin, hallintaan ja suojattua työkaluilla, jotka ovat asiakkailla todennäköisesti jo käytössä: Microsoft 365 -admin-portaalilla, Entralla, Purviewilla ja Defenderillä. Tarkastelemme eroa "villin" ja "hallitun" agentin välillä. Villi agentti julkaistaan suoraan kaikille ilman tarkistusta, ja sillä on tekijänsä kaikki oikeudet. Hallittu agentti kulkee hyväksyntäprosessin kautta, sillä on nimetty omistaja ja sen pääsy on rajattu Entran, Purviewin ja Defenderin käytännöillä.

Puhujat: Timo Salminen, Partner Solution Architect, MicrosoftTeams Premium + Bookings : Automatic recording and transcription for Bookings meetings ?
Hello, I have a Teams Premium license, recording and transcription policies are enabled on the admin side, and Video Recap works correctly when both are active simultaneously in the same meeting. My use case : my clients book time slots via Microsoft Bookings. Teams meetings are therefore created automatically by Bookings and I have no control over their scheduling. According to Microsoft Learn documentation (Manage the Virtual appointment meeting template and Microsoft Bookings), there is no documented mechanism to automatically apply a Teams meeting template, and therefore automatic recording and transcription, to meetings generated by Bookings. My question: has anyone found a workaround for this limitation (Power Automate, Graph API, or anything else)? And does Microsoft have a documented roadmap on this topic? This gap directly prevents Teams Premium users from accessing Video Recap on their client meetings, which is one of the core use cases Teams Premium is designed for. Thank you for your helpWhat's new in Microsoft Planner | September 2026
Fall is officially here, and with it comes our first quarterly edition of What's New in Microsoft Planner! Each quarter, we'll bring the latest Planner updates together in one place. We're continuing to invest in Planner to help people work alongside AI to plan and get work done, whether you're tracking your own tasks or coordinating a shared plan across your team. This quarter's updates give you a clearer view of your work, new ways to save time keeping plans current, and more places to manage tasks where work already happens. Planner Agent is now built directly into basic plans, so you can ask questions about your plan, create and update tasks, and focus on your top priorities without leaving Planner. We're also making Planner Agent in Copilot more capable, with fuller answers on large, complex plans and faster, more reliable responses. You'll also find updates that bring Planner closer to where your team collaborates, from adding Planner as a tab in private and shared Teams channels to bringing your tasks and plans into Outlook. And the new Task Details Side Pane lets you update assignments, dates, and checklists without losing sight of the bigger picture. Read on to see everything that's new in Planner this quarter and share your feedback through the Planner Feedback Portal. Keep the details and bigger picture in view Task Details Side Pane Planner now offers a new way to view and edit task details without losing sight of the plan or task list. The Task Details Side Pane opens alongside Board, Grid, and My Tasks views. Assignees, dates, notes, and checklists can be updated without leaving that view. Seeing task details alongside the plan makes it easier to review assignments and dates without losing context. Planner now also remembers the preferred task details layout when the app is reopened. On smaller screens, task details automatically open in a dialog for a better fit. Save time planning and getting work done Chat with Planner Agent in Planner Planner Agent chat is available directly in basic plans. It allows teams to ask questions about the plan, create and update tasks, and filter the view to focus on the top priorities. With chat built into the plan, teams can now review tasks and make updates without leaving Planner to start a separate conversation in Copilot. Planner Agent in Microsoft Copilot More context for large plans: Planner Agent can now use more information from large and complex plans when answering questions. It leverages the latest frontier models for more in-depth reasoning and draws more effectively on work content. These improvements help find relevant tasks and include more supporting plan details in responses, giving teams a fuller picture of the work being reviewed. Create larger plans in Copilot: The previous 30-task limit when creating a plan has been removed, allowing Planner Agent to generate larger initial task lists without a limit. Teams can review the proposed tasks in Copilot before saving them to the plan. Improvements also extend beyond plan creation, with faster responses and fewer interruptions across the Planner Agent experience in Copilot. Assign tasks to team members: Users can set task owners by asking Planner Agent or using task cards in the agent's responses, without leaving the conversation in Copilot. Choose how Planner Agent responds: A new model selector offers Quick response, Think deeper, and Auto modes. Users can choose a quicker response, request more in-depth reasoning, or let Planner Agent select the mode automatically. Planner capabilities in Copilot Users can keep tasks current while handling other work in one conversation, without opening Planner or a separate Planner Agent chat. In Copilot Chat, users can now search for tasks and plans, get answers about their work, create or update tasks, and take action on plans. The same chat includes capabilities from Outlook, Excel, PowerPoint, and other apps. Users can access these alongside Planner capabilities without switching between agents. Manage work where it happens Planner in Outlook Planner is now available in Outlook, bringing tasks and plans, along with Planner Agent, into the inbox. This experience supports both personal task tracking and collaborative planning, so individual commitments and shared work can be managed in one place. With Planner in Outlook, people can track progress, coordinate responsibilities, and take action without leaving their inbox. To get started in Outlook on the web or the new Outlook for Windows, select Apps, search for Planner, then add and pin it for quick access. Planner tabs in Teams channels Planner can now be added as a tab in private and shared Team channels. Team members can create a new basic plan or select an existing plan shared with the group associated with the channel. Once added, the plan is easy to find in the channel where the team collaborates. Members can return to that dedicated space to review tasks and manage projects together.Copilot, Microsoft 365 & Power Platform Community call

See you at ESPC 2026. #ESPC26Can Microsoft 365 Copilot Access Archive Mailboxes?
After writing about the new 100GB mailbox quota for Microsoft 365 Business Tenants, I was asked if Microsoft 365 Copilot supports Exchange Online archive mailboxes. It does. Microsoft Search indexes items in archive mailboxes, so Copilot can find and use items from those mailboxes. Interestingly, the DLP policy to block external email for Copilot didn’t work. That’s definitely something to investigate! https://office365itpros.com/2026/10/08/archive-mailbox-copilot/From Chaos to Clarity: How Microsoft 365 Copilot Helps SMBs Make Smarter Decisions
In today’s fast-paced business landscape, small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) face a constant challenge: do more with less and do it faster. The pressure to innovate, respond to market shifts, and keep teams aligned is real. That’s why Microsoft 365 Copilot is more than just another productivity tool—it’s a strategic partner for SMBs looking to turn operational chaos into clarity.
