Noventiq Frontier Transformation Value Assessment for Microsoft 365 E7

Overview

Microsoft 365 E7 is Microsoft’s response to the agentic AI era and the foundation of the Frontier Firm transformation - a single solution that brings together the full security and compliance foundation of E5 with AI productivity (Microsoft Copilot), AI governance (Microsoft Agent 365), and the complete Microsoft Entra identity and network access stack, enabling organisations to operate as human‑led, agent‑powered enterprises.

The Microsoft 365 E7 upgrade conversation is not a product pitch - it is a business case conversation. Every enterprise has a unique mix of Microsoft 365 E3, E5, and Copilot licences, with varying adoption levels. Noventiq's offer defines the right upgrade path, structures the commercial model, and delivers a boardroom-ready ROI case - before a single licence is transacted.

Service Scope

1. Microsoft 365 E7 Readiness Assessment

• Audit current Microsoft 365 licence estate - Microsoft 365 E3, E5 and Copilot mix, add-ons, under-utilised SKUs
• Utilisation analysis - which Microsoft 365 E5 workloads are actually deployed vs. licensed only
• Microsoft Agent 365 readiness - current AI agent inventory, governance gaps, shadow AI exposure
• Microsoft Entra Suite gap analysis - which of five Microsoft Entra Suite capabilities are missing and actively needed
• Microsoft Secure Score baseline and tenant health check

2. Upgrade Segmentation & Persona Modelling

• Segment workforce into Microsoft 365 E7, E5, E3 and F-SKU tiers by role and AI use intensity
• Identify which roles genuinely require Microsoft 365 E7 (Copilot + Agent 365) vs. Microsoft 365 E5 alone
• Model cost scenarios: targeted Microsoft 365 E7 for power users vs. blanket Microsoft 365 E7 deployment
• Identify roles better served by Microsoft Agent 365 standalone ($15/user) rather than full Microsoft 365 E7
