Microsoft Build 2026 governance signals: what we heard between the keynotes

Power Platform sprawl: the citizen-developer reality check

AvePoint's Confidence Platform pivot: more AI, same structural gaps

The hidden cost of unused Copilot licenses: what we keep finding
Across the Microsoft 365 Copilot deployments we scan, a meaningful share of assigned licenses go largely unused after the first 90 days. The reasons cluster into three patterns, and the recovery opportunity is large enough to matter to a CFO.

Why ShareGate Apricot's repositioning leaves a governance gap

Copilot Studio agent sprawl reaches critical mass: what we see across tenants

MSPs are getting pulled into M365 governance whether they sold it or not
Across our partner conversations this quarter, the same pattern keeps appearing. Clients who never asked their MSP for governance are now asking for it. Copilot, DORA, and NIS2 are doing the selling for you, whether your practice is ready or not.
