In August 2025, Microsoft 365 Copilot introduced powerful upgrades to the Copilot Control System, giving administrators unprecedented visibility and governance over AI agents. SharePoint agents are now integrated into the Microsoft 365 admin center, allowing centralized management alongside Microsoft, third-party, and user-created agents. Admins can monitor Copilot Search usage trends, manage billing through message pack integration, and enforce compliance with new workflows for agent approvals via the Frontier program. Enhanced controls also enable blocking, reassigning, or retiring ownerless agents, reducing operational risk. These updates empower organizations to scale Copilot responsibly while maintaining security, transparency, and policy alignment. https://lnkd.in/gxMTKw4r

There is something important going on since a long time back. The rise of Power Platform as an orchestration layer for the three MS backbone products #M365, #Azure and #Dynamics. Of course not only for internal use, which is probably where the major usage is throughout the world. The Dynamics part and M365/Azure have been separated for way too long. It's interesting to hear when collaboration tools personnel (M365) talk about Dynamics as something very "strange" but as Power Platform like something invented through M365. The infrastructure people looks at M365 and Power Platform like an alien, at least the Power Platform product as well. When I worked as application consultant within Dynamics I was an amoeba with both deep infrastructure competence as well as consultant within the application itself architecting solutions to handle pricing and rebate of articles to customers. Anyway, in Power Platform and especially in the power platform admin, the classic pages still shows the connection to Dynamics but they are getting abstracted away. Today, this is being less and less of a challenge but the #PowerPages still contains a lot of non-abstracted administrative pages for several objects. Still some tweaks needs to be at least understood in classic pages. At least now we can manage Power Pages sites in Power Platform ALM with solutions, pipelines etc. This makes it sure that we can work more seamlessly between environments to keep sure we handle variables correctly and have easier separation between types of environments. During my career I've been consulting within Dynamics, been playing around with CRM years ago, certified in Azure and M365 and I've seen how Microsoft is pushing new technology all the time. It's great to see all products in the toolbox as technologies with their own strength but at the same time multiplied when combined correctly. There are today not that many new products but instead more and more "integration layers" or "automation possibilities" like Graph API, Power Platform and AI through Copilot is supporting organizations to understand things behind these products are combinable. It's up to IT to take control over entire enterprise solution design and not look at the tools only. There is a great possibility to make use of what already exists and what is being developed further. Happy designing! Claudio @ Enknapp

⏳ 322 Days Left: A Wake-Up Call for Businesses in #Germany Last week, I spoke with a #CIO from a #Germanenterprise. He said something that hit me hard: "For over 10 years, our onboarding, approvals, and compliance workflows have run on SharePoint. Now #Microsoft is ending support — and suddenly, it feels like our entire automation backbone has an expiry date.” He’s not the only one facing this. Across industries, leaders are realizing: #O365SharePoint 2013 Workflows will be retired on April 2, 2026 #SharePoint Server 2016/2019 support ends on July 14, 2026 InfoPath & Designer are already gone That’s just 322 days left before critical processes become unsupported, vulnerable, and costly to maintain. But here’s where the story shifted. Instead of just replacing old workflows, we explored how companies in Germany are modernizing with Kissflow — a cloud-native, enterprise automation platform. And here’s the key difference: they don’t have to do it alone. With MicroNova, Kissflow’s trusted implementation partner in #Germany, organizations can: ✅ Migrate #SharePoint workflows into a secure, modern platform ✅ Redesign outdated forms with a business-friendly builder ✅ Connect with #Microsoft 365, #Teams, #SAP, #Salesforce, and more ✅ Stay compliant with #GDPR and industry standards Suddenly, what felt like a looming disruption turned into an opportunity. The CIO said: “Maybe this isn’t a problem. Maybe it’s the chance to finally fix the inefficiencies we’ve been living with.” The lesson? #Microsoft’s deadlines don’t just mark an end. They mark a new beginning — if you act now. With just 322 days left, the question isn’t whether you’ll modernize. It’s whether you’ll wait until you’re forced to, or seize the opportunity with Kissflow + MicroNova to build a future-proof automation backbone today.
