This week was slightly quieter that the last few (phew!). We're sharing a few of the most impactful updates from the shortlist our clients get in real-time. **Bonus:** Partner1's [Microsoft Marketplace Assessment](https://assessments.partner1.io/msft-mkpl) helps you benchmark your current marketplace motion against FY27's new co-sell framework in seconds! --- **BIG**: AUGUST 18: Microsoft's Copilot web app moved addresses to [copilot.cloud.microsoft](http://copilot.cloud.microsoft/). The good news is that folks get redirected automatically ... but it's a good time to alert your customers and ensure their network policies, proxies, firewalls etc. are not blocking the domain. OCTOBER 1: Reminder that M365 E7 promos will be retiring while E3 promos are extended through December. Also OCTOBER 1: CSP software subscription pricing for annual commitments that are billed **monthly** goes up by 5%. Existing subscriptions aren't impacted till their renewals after this date. 2031 (yes, the year): Dynamics NAV will reach end of sale in 5 years, which seems like a long time but NAV to BC migrations can take 18+ months. --- **The big picture** October 1 will be here sooner than expected, so manage your Microsoft partnership operations proactively. There are lots of opportunities for upselling new workloads and projects if you are ready. If you aren't already doing so - let's get started [here](https://www.partner1.io/contact). Take the [Microsoft Marketplace Assessment](https://assessments.partner1.io/msft-mkpl) to ensure your business is FY27-optimized and you're not leaving a single opportunity on the table. --- This edition of Bits & Bytes covers the Microsoft partner ecosystem for CEOs, operators, and practice leaders.
