SoftwareOne has become one of the first partners worldwide to be awarded the Microsoft Copilot Specialisation, a new designation that recognises proven capabilities in helping clients adopt Microsoft 365 Copilot, scale Copilot Chat for all, build with Copilot Studio, and extend Copilot with agents.
“This specialisation is a big milestone for our customers and our people,” says Oliver Berchtold, chief operating officer at SoftwareOne. “It proves that when organisations are looking for a trusted partner to get the most out of Copilot, SoftwareOne is the safe pair of hands to lead that journey from pilot to success. We make Copilot adoption smoother, secure, scalable, compliant, and unlock agentic extensibility.”
SoftwareOne’s new specialisation builds on a market-leading Copilot track record. Over the past year, the company has delivered hundreds of successful Copilot engagements globally, including 1,362 adoption and security projects, supporting clients around the world to design use cases, secure and govern data, drive user adoption, and realise measurable productivity gains.
The achievement joins SoftwareOne’s existing six Solutions Partner Designations, bringing the total to 21 Microsoft specialisations, which is a testament to SoftwareOne’s breadth, depth, and commitment to excellence.
Juan Quesada, global partner tech lead at Microsoft, adds: “The Microsoft Copilot Specialisation helps customers quickly identify partners with proven experience across Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Studio, and agent-based extensibility. By earning this specialisation, SoftwareOne has demonstrated the skilling, customer impact, and secure deployment practices customers expect as they scale AI in the workplace.
“We are especially pleased to see that SoftwareOne is among the first partners with a truly global presence to achieve this designation, reflecting their ability to deliver consistent, high-quality outcomes for customers across the globe. Their track record of successfully supporting clients across regions in adopting AI solutions is a strong testament to their leadership and commitment to helping organisations realise the full value of Copilot.”
The Microsoft Copilot Specialisation showcases partner capabilities spanning Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Chat, Copilot Studio, and agents, with requirements covering performance, skilling, and verified customer references for agentic transformation.
