Microsoft 365 news for IT teams this week

Microsoft has announced Microsoft 365 G7, which brings AI, Copilot, agent governance, security, and compliance together for government agencies. It matters if you work with public sector clients, as this hints at where Microsoft will focus security and AI controls for regulated work.

Microsoft is also promoting ESPC 2026 in Amsterdam, a community event on Microsoft 365, Copilot, agents, and AI. It is worth tracking the agenda so you can plan skills and roadmap discussions around what Microsoft is about to talk up.

New app building features in Copilot Cowork and Copilot Studio let you create full stack business apps through conversation, grounded in your own data. This could lower the bar for small teams to prototype internal tools, so it is a good time to review who in the business can safely build and how you will govern that.
