Your Microsoft AI investment is massive. Make sure it succeeds.
Microsoft 365 E7 gives you Copilot, Agent 365, and Copilot Studio — the most powerful enterprise AI stack ever released. But infrastructure isn't adoption, and Microsoft only governs Microsoft. Fronterio plugs in wherever your employees use AI — Teams, Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat, Copilot Studio, SharePoint, ChatGPT, and beyond — and adds the business layer your E7 investment needs: Design the operating model, Govern every agent, Prove the ROI.

What Microsoft gives you — and what's missing
Microsoft 365 E7 — the 'Frontier Suite' — is the biggest enterprise AI bundle ever. At $99 per user per month, it combines Microsoft 365 E5, Copilot, Agent 365, Entra Suite, and Work IQ into a single SKU. Copilot is now multi-model, powered by both OpenAI and Anthropic Claude. Copilot Cowork handles long-running, multi-step workflows. It's a serious investment — $594,000 per year for 500 users.
Agent 365 ($15/user standalone, included in E7) is Microsoft's IT security layer for AI agents. It gives every agent a Microsoft Entra identity, provides conditional access policies, integrates with Purview for data protection and Defender for threat detection, and includes an agent registry with audit logging. For IT administrators managing agent security, it's excellent.
Copilot Studio lets you build and deploy custom agents inside Microsoft 365 — intelligent chatbots, workflow automators, and knowledge assistants. With native MCP support now generally available, these agents can connect to external governance systems at runtime.
Here's the gap: Microsoft solves infrastructure and security. It doesn't help you decide which AI initiatives to pursue first. It doesn't measure whether your investment is actually working. It doesn't ensure EU AI Act compliance. It doesn't drive adoption across employees who've never used AI tools. And it only governs Microsoft agents — while your organisation uses AI from multiple vendors.
That's where Fronterio comes in. We sit on top of the Microsoft stack — complementing it, not competing with it. Fronterio adds the business adoption, regulatory compliance, multi-vendor governance, and ROI measurement layers that make your Microsoft AI investment succeed. Starting at €299 per month flat, we're a fraction of the cost of the infrastructure we help you get right.
The Complete AI Governance Stack
Four layers working together. Each does something different. You need all of them.
Fronterio
Business Adoption, EU AI Act Compliance, Multi-Vendor Governance, ROI
Agent 365
IT Security, Entra Identity, Purview Data Protection, Defender
Copilot Studio
Build & Deploy Custom AI Agents in Microsoft 365
Microsoft 365 Copilot
AI Assistant in Word, Excel, Teams, Outlook, PowerPoint
E7 bundles all Microsoft layers at $99/user. Fronterio adds the business layer on top.
The difference Fronterio makes
Microsoft 365 E7 alone
- Agent registry covers Microsoft agents only — AWS, Google, and open-source agents are invisible
- No way to assess organisational AI readiness before committing to a $594K/year investment
- Security compliance via Purview and Defender, but no EU AI Act regulatory compliance
- Copilot performance metrics, but no cross-platform adoption tracking or business ROI measurement
Microsoft 365 E7 + Fronterio
- Unified governance registry across 7 platforms — Microsoft, AWS Bedrock, LangSmith, Anthropic, and more
- 5-dimension AI Readiness Assessment with peer benchmarks — know where you stand before or after E7
- Full EU AI Act compliance: risk classification, deployer obligations, FRIA, AI literacy tracking, audit logs
- Cross-platform adoption metrics (Copilot + Gemini + Claude), business impact measurement, and ROI dashboards
Six things E7 doesn't cover — and Fronterio does
AI Readiness Assessment
Before investing $99/user in E7, know where your organisation stands. Our 5-dimension assessment scores readiness across strategy, data, technology, people, and governance — with peer benchmarks from your industry.
EU AI Act Compliance
Agent 365 handles security compliance. But EU companies also need regulatory compliance: AI risk classification, deployer obligations (Article 26), Fundamental Rights Impact Assessments, AI literacy tracking, and immutable audit logs.
Multi-Vendor Governance
Your organisation doesn't use only Microsoft AI. Fronterio governs agents across Azure AI Foundry, AWS Bedrock, LangSmith, CrewAI, Anthropic Claude, Copilot Studio, and custom webhooks — all from one registry.
Business ROI & Adoption Metrics
Track adoption rates across Copilot, Gemini, and Claude. Measure business impact with before/after comparisons. Generate ROI reports that prove your AI investment is delivering results — not just deployed.
Implementation Guidance
An AI consultant that knows your company context, step-by-step implementation guides, and auto-generated deliverables. E7 gives you powerful tools — Fronterio helps you succeed with them.
Employee Adoption Programme
AI tips, skills challenges, micro-learning paths, a help desk, and a champion network. The Employee Pack drives adoption across your entire company — not just the IT team managing Agent 365.
Fronterio, everywhere AI lives in Microsoft 365
Six integration points that put Fronterio governance inside the Microsoft surfaces your employees already use — Teams, Copilot Chat, Copilot Studio, SharePoint, plus adoption tracking across your full AI tool portfolio. One audit trail, zero context-switching.
Copilot Adoption Tracking
Connect to Microsoft Graph to track Copilot usage per user, per app, per department. See who's actually using AI and where adoption is lagging.
Agent Discovery & Governance
Automatically discover all Copilot Studio agents in your tenant. Ungoverned agents are flagged and proposed for governance review.
Deploy with Compliance Built In
Deploy governed agents to Copilot Studio with guardrails mapped to native topic restrictions, DLP policies, and escalation rules.
SharePoint Content Sync
Push AI governance content — use cases, policies, compliance status, reports — directly to your SharePoint intranet. Enterprise only.
Microsoft Teams AI Agent
Employees @mention Fronterio in any Teams chat, channel, or group. Ask your organisation's approved questions, browse the sanctioned prompt library, track learning progress — every prompt audited against your EU AI Act deployer obligations.
Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat
The same Fronterio agent works inside the M365 Copilot panel — Word, Outlook, the Copilot web app. Governance-compliant AI right where your employees already work. Custom engine agent via manifest v1.20.
“We deployed Microsoft 365 E7 for 800 users. Agent 365 secured the infrastructure. Fronterio told us what to deploy, ensured we were EU AI Act compliant, and proved the ROI to our board. They solve different problems — you need both.”
Where we overlap — and why it doesn't matter
We believe in transparent positioning. Here's an honest look at where Fronterio and Agent 365 overlap, and why the complement story holds.
The overlap
Agent 365 has an agent registry. Fronterio has an agent registry. For Microsoft-only agents, there is functional overlap in registration and basic monitoring. If your organisation exclusively uses Microsoft AI tools and has no EU AI Act obligations, Agent 365's registry may be sufficient for your governance needs.
Why Fronterio remains essential
Multi-vendor reality
Virtually no enterprise uses AI from a single vendor. AWS Bedrock, LangChain, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, open-source models — Agent 365 doesn't govern any of these. Fronterio governs all of them from one registry with 7 deployment connectors.
EU AI Act compliance
Agent 365 provides security compliance (Purview, Defender). It does not provide EU AI Act regulatory compliance: risk classification, deployer obligations, FRIA workflows, AI literacy tracking, or compliance audit logs. For EU companies, this is non-negotiable.
Deep integration, not competition
Our Copilot Studio connector plugs directly into the Microsoft ecosystem. We discover agents from Agent 365, deploy to Copilot Studio, sync telemetry, and enforce guardrails via MCP. We complement the Microsoft stack — we don't duplicate it.
Business adoption vs IT security
Agent 365 is built for IT admins managing security. Fronterio is built for AI leads, strategy teams, and compliance officers managing the business side of AI. Different users, different problems, different tools — both needed.
