You're Already Paying for Agents You Never Approved
AI agents are already running inside most Microsoft estates. Some are built centrally. Many are not. A user can create one in Copilot Studio, and connected services add more. The cost then appears in two places. The per-seat governance sits on your Microsoft 365 invoice, and the building and running of the agent is metered on your Azure invoice. Different teams own each bill, and neither sees the whole figure.
What it costs you:
- Agents deployed without approval, running and consuming before anyone budgets for them
- Governance charged per seat on the Microsoft 365 bill, execution metered on the Azure bill, with no single view of the total
- Agents built in Copilot Studio or Microsoft Foundry now needing Agent 365 for their security layer, not only their governance
- Paying for agents that duplicate each other or sit idle because nobody tracks them
- A rising Copilot or Azure bill treated as a consumption problem when the cause is ungoverned agents
In this event, you'll learn:
- Where agents come from when nobody deployed them centrally, and how Copilot Studio and connected services create them
- Why the cost splits across the Microsoft 365 invoice and the Azure invoice, and who ends up owning neither
- What Agent 365 does and does not do: it governs agents, it does not build or run them
- Why agents built in Copilot Studio or Foundry now need Agent 365 for their security layer, and what that adds to the bill
- How to find the agents already running, see what they can reach, and set a governance floor
Who should attend:
- CIOs and IT directors responsible for Microsoft 365 and AI governance
- Finance teams seeing Copilot and Azure costs rise without a clear cause
- FinOps teams tracking Azure consumption
- Security and compliance teams responsible for what agents can access
- Procurement managing Microsoft 365 and Azure agreements
