With the announcement of Microsoft 365 E7 there’s renewed focus on the Microsoft Agent Factory – a program designed for customers that want to rapidly scale AI adoption in their organisation. It combines the Agent Pre-Purchase Plan, Forward Deployed Engineers, and tailored role-based AI training.

After much speculation, Microsoft 365 E7, also known as The Frontier Worker Suite, is official, with a GA date of 1 May 2026. It builds on Microsoft 365 E5 by adding Microsoft 365 Copilot, Agent 365, and the Entra Suite. With a standard monthly price of $99, three promotions are planned in May to coincide with the launch, offering discounts of between 10% and 20%. In line with the other Microsoft 365 licences, E7 will be available both with and without Teams.
Complementing the announcement, we’re provided with a raft of resources. The Microsoft 365 E7 Launch Kit is particularly useful, containing a Partner FAQ that’s well worth a read.
