We’re delighted to announce that CPS has achieved Prioritised Tier status within Microsoft’s FY26 Copilot & Agents at Work Jumpstart Partner Initiative.
This recognition represents an important milestone in our AI journey and reflects the significant investment we have made in helping organisations unlock value from Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Studio, Copilot Agents, and the wider Microsoft AI ecosystem.
Progressing from the programme’s Ready Tier to the Prioritised Tier is a significant achievement and places CPS amongst a select group of partners recognised by Microsoft for their Copilot expertise, customer success, and delivery capabilities.
While we’re incredibly proud of this achievement, what excites us most is what it means for our customers.
What Is Microsoft’s Copilot Jumpstart Programme?
Microsoft created the Copilot Jumpstart programme to identify, support, and develop partners that are helping organisations successfully adopt and scale AI.
Achieving Prioritised Tier status demonstrates that a partner has developed a strong Copilot practice, invested in the necessary skills and capabilities, and has the expertise required to help organisations realise value from Microsoft’s AI technologies.
Microsoft’s focus for FY26 is clear: helping customers drive adoption, usage, and business value from Copilot and AI. As a Prioritised Tier partner, CPS is recognised as a trusted partner to support organisations on that journey.
Over the past year, we have continued to invest heavily in our Microsoft AI capabilities to ensure we can support customers at every stage of their AI transformation journey.
This includes investment across:
This recognition validates the work our teams have been doing to help organisations adopt AI responsibly, securely, and effectively.
It also strengthens our relationship with Microsoft, creating greater opportunities for collaboration and ensuring we remain closely aligned with Microsoft’s AI vision, roadmap, and innovation strategy.
AI is rapidly becoming a business necessity rather than a future aspiration.
Organisations across both the public and private sectors are looking for ways to increase productivity, improve customer experiences, automate processes, empower employees, and do more with limited resources.
However, many organisations are still facing important questions:
Achieving Prioritised Tier status provides customers with additional confidence that they are working with a Microsoft-recognised partner that has demonstrated the capability, expertise, and commitment needed to answer these questions and deliver successful AI outcomes.
Customers can be confident that CPS has invested in building the skills, experience, and methodologies required to support successful Copilot and AI deployments.
As a Prioritised Tier partner, CPS has greater access to Microsoft programmes, briefings, and strategic initiatives, helping us stay at the forefront of Microsoft’s rapidly evolving AI landscape.
Through proven frameworks, accelerators, training programmes, and delivery experience, we help organisations move from AI experimentation to measurable business outcomes.
Technology alone does not deliver transformation. Successful AI adoption requires governance, change management, user engagement, and ongoing optimisation. Our approach helps organisations maximise value while maintaining trust, security, and compliance.
At CPS, we believe successful AI transformation is about more than deploying technology.
It’s about helping people work smarter, removing friction from everyday processes, automating repetitive tasks, improving decision-making, and creating meaningful business impact.
Whether organisations are exploring Microsoft 365 Copilot, looking to automate workflows through Copilot Studio, or building intelligent Copilot Agents to support employees and customers, our goal remains the same: helping organisations turn AI potential into practical results.
Our experience spans organisations across:
Across every sector, we are helping organisations understand where AI can deliver value and how to implement it successfully.
Artificial Intelligence is transforming the way organisations operate, and the pace of innovation continues to accelerate.
As Microsoft expands its Copilot and Agent ecosystem, organisations need trusted partners that can help them navigate change, manage risk, and realise value quickly.
Achieving Microsoft Copilot Jumpstart Prioritised Tier status reinforces CPS’s commitment to being that trusted partner.
We would like to thank Microsoft for this recognition and our customers for their continued trust and partnership. This achievement reflects not only the dedication of our team but also the success of the organisations we work with every day.
We’re excited about what comes next and look forward to helping even more organisations transform the way they work with Microsoft Copilot, Copilot Agents, and AI-powered business solutions throughout FY26 and beyond.
Whether you’re evaluating Microsoft 365 Copilot, planning your first AI initiative, or looking to scale existing deployments, CPS can help.
