As organizations move further into the year, the focus continues to shift from experimenting with AI to understanding how it fits into everyday work. This month’s edition brings together key events, expert insights, and platform updates that help leaders move from curiosity to clarity across Microsoft’s data and AI ecosystem.
M365 Community Days DC brings together practitioners, architects, and leaders working across Microsoft 365, Power Platform, and AI. This two-day community-led event focuses on real-world adoption stories, governance lessons, and practical guidance for organizations scaling modern workplace and AI capabilities.
For teams planning their Microsoft roadmap for 2026, this event offers valuable perspectives from professionals actively building and deploying solutions today.
AI is no longer just about automation. It is about understanding work itself. Work IQ introduces a new layer of intelligence that helps organizations see how work flows across meetings, messages, documents, and collaboration tools.
By providing this context, Work IQ enables Copilot and AI agents to operate with awareness rather than assumptions. For leaders, this leads to better decisions, healthier workloads, and AI experiences grounded in how people actually work.
Foundry IQ serves as the knowledge foundation for AI agents built in Azure AI Foundry. It connects agents to enterprise data in a governed and contextual way, reducing the complexity often associated with fragmented data sources and custom retrieval logic.
Microsoft Agent Factory introduces a structured way to design, deploy, and manage AI agents across the enterprise. Instead of isolated bots, organizations can build coordinated agents that work across systems, data, and business processes.
The Dataverse SDK for Python enables developers and data teams to build intelligent, event-driven workflows directly on top of Dataverse. This makes it easier to combine automation, AI reasoning, and business data within a single development experience.
As data environments grow, governance becomes increasingly important. Microsoft Fabric governance insights in OneLake provide centralized visibility into data usage, sensitivity, and access patterns across the platform.
This capability helps organizations balance innovation with compliance, ensuring that analytics and AI initiatives remain secure, auditable, and scalable as adoption accelerates.
