Kocho earns Microsoft Copilot Specialisation as we build toward Frontier Partner status

We’re pleased to share that Kocho has earned the Microsoft Copilot Specialisation, recognising the work our teams are doing to help organisations adopt AI securely, with identity, governance and data protection built in from the start.

The Specialisation recognises partners with proven experience across Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Chat, Copilot Studio and agents. It reflects the technical capability, client experience and Microsoft alignment that’s helping our clients adopt Copilot securely and make it work in their daily operations.

Strengthening our role in Microsoft’s AI partner ecosystem

AI is now central to Microsoft’s strategy, from value-driven Copilot experiences and agents through to the identity, security and governance needed to operate them safely at scale.

This strengthens Kocho’s position as a trusted Microsoft partner for organisations that want to turn AI ambition into something real, useful and securely governed.

It also supports our journey toward Microsoft Frontier Partner status. Frontier Partners are positioned to help customers make the shift from AI experimentation to secure, end-to-end enterprise execution, with Microsoft 365 E7 increasingly integral to how that shift takes shape.

Chief Technology Officer, Steven Jones, said: “Achieving the Microsoft Copilot Specialisation is a strong endorsement of the work our teams are already doing with clients.

“We’re helping them realise Copilot’s potential by making sure the right foundations and safeguards are in place from the outset. That means understanding what people need it to do, where the right data sits, how access is controlled, and how AI agents will be governed as they become part of day-to-day work. Our identity-led approach helps them manage that complexity and adopt AI with confidence.”

Built on our identity-led approach

For Kocho, Copilot has always been about more than switching on new tools. The real work starts with understanding where data lives, who can access it, how it is protected and whether the right governance is in place.

That is why the Specialisation fits so naturally with our identity-led security approach. We help clients get the foundations right, so they can adopt Copilot and AI agents without creating avoidable risk or complexity.

What clients can expect from this recognition

For our clients, this recognition can help unlock critical support for Copilot adoption:

• Microsoft funding to help accelerate eligible Copilot pilots, rollouts and adoption programmes.
• Stronger Microsoft engagement around client opportunities, helping bring the right expertise into the conversation earlier.
• Added assurance that Kocho meets Microsoft’s standards for Copilot delivery, adoption and secure enablement.

For clients considering their next move with Copilot, it’s another reason to work with a partner who can support the full journey: readiness, licensing, deployment, adoption, security and governance.

Building momentum around Copilot and Microsoft 365 E7

Earning the Copilot Specialisation is one milestone in a wider roadmap. We will continue investing in technical certifications, expanding our Copilot work with clients and strengthening our alignment with Microsoft 365 E7, AI agents and the identity-led controls organisations need to use them safely.

We will keep focusing on helping clients make AI useful, secure and sustainable, with identity at the centre of how it is managed and governed.

Most importantly, we will keep focusing on the part that matters most: helping clients make AI useful, secure and sustainable, with identity at the centre of how it is managed and governed.
