CPS has achieved Microsoft Copilot Specialisations across Business Applications, Modern Work, and Security, the highest level of technical validation available within the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program.
These specialisations recognise our deep technical expertise and our proven ability to help organisations adopt Microsoft’s latest AI capabilities, including Microsoft Copilot, Copilot Studio, and agentic AI solutions, securely, responsibly, and in ways that deliver real business value.
And there’s one detail about this achievement that makes the milestone even more special.
Back in 2025, CPS was named a Microsoft Copilot and Agent Partner of the Year Finalist.
That recognition came before we had formally achieved these specialisations.
In other words, the impact of our work with Copilot and AI was already being recognised across the Microsoft ecosystem, and now the technical depth behind it has been formally validated.
It’s fair to say we’ve been leading from the front when it comes to helping organisations adopt Copilot and AI in the real world.
Microsoft Specialisations are not easy to achieve.
Partners must first qualify as a Microsoft Solutions Partner, then pass a rigorous process involving:
Achieving specialisations across three Microsoft solution areas demonstrates our ability to design and deliver complex Copilot and AI solutions across multiple environments.
For organisations exploring AI adoption, these specialisations provide a clear signal to them that we are knowledgeable partner.
It means when you work with CPS, you’re partnering with a team that has been independently validated to deliver secure, scalable, enterprise-grade AI solutions that drive measurable outcomes.
“Achieving Microsoft Copilot Specialisations across Business Applications, Modern Work, and Security is a fantastic milestone for CPS and a testament to the expertise and dedication of our team.
We have always believed that the real value of technology lies in how it is applied to solve real business challenges, and our teams work incredibly hard to translate Microsoft’s latest innovations into practical, secure solutions that deliver meaningful outcomes for our clients.”
While certifications and badges are important, they are ultimately the result of the people behind them.
This achievement reflects the dedication and expertise of our architects, consultants, engineers, and delivery specialists who work every day to turn Microsoft innovation into practical solutions that improve how organisations operate.
Our teams are helping organisations unlock value from technologies including:
These technologies are transforming how organisations manage information, automate processes, and empower their workforce.
But successful adoption requires more than simply deploying new tools, it requires expertise in governance, integration, change management, and security.
That’s where our team makes the difference.
AI adoption is accelerating across every sector. But organisations are increasingly aware that implementing AI successfully requires the right foundations.
Security, data governance, compliance, and responsible AI practices must all be considered to ensure AI delivers sustainable value.
At CPS, we help organisations adopt AI in ways that are:
We work with organisations across public and commercial sectors to develop AI strategies, implement Copilot solutions, and introduce intelligent automation that supports real operational improvement.
Our Copilot specialisations reinforce that we have the capability to support organisations at every stage of their AI journey, from exploration and proof-of-concept through to enterprise-scale deployment.
You might have heard Microsoft talking about the emergence of the Frontier Firm, organisations that combine human expertise with AI-powered capabilities to unlock new levels of productivity, innovation, and decision-making.
That’s exactly what we’re helping our clients achieve. Through solutions built on Copilot, automation, and AI agents, organisations can:
Our goal is simple:
Help organisations unlock the real business value of AI.
Achievements like this don’t happen overnight.
They are the result of years of investment in skills, innovation, and delivery excellence.
We’re incredibly proud of our team and the expertise they bring to every project.
Their work continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible with Microsoft technology and ensures our clients are able to adopt AI with confidence.
How this recognition aligns with Microsoft’s broader vision for AI-enabled organisations, Steve replied:
“Microsoft talks about the rise of the Frontier Firm, organisations that combine human creativity with AI-powered capabilities to drive new levels of productivity and innovation. Our ambition at CPS is to help our clients become those organisations.
By combining Copilot, automation, and intelligent agents with strong governance and responsible AI practices, we are helping organisations unlock the real potential of these technologies.”
Achieving these Copilot specialisations is a major milestone for CPS, but it’s also just the beginning.
As Microsoft continues to push the boundaries of AI, Copilot, and agentic technologies, we’ll continue investing in the capabilities needed to help organisations adopt these innovations successfully.
We’re excited about what the future holds.
And we’re proud to be helping organisations shape it.
