Prices as of October 2026 · per user per month, billed annually (annual upfront commitment) · exclude VAT (5%). AED prices are converted from Microsoft's USD list price; your quote confirms the final price. We recommend the plans with Copilot built in; standalone Business Standard and Business Premium plans without Copilot are also available, with pricing on request from Gulf Infotech (contact us). All these plans are supplied in the UAE.

Licences are one component: deployment and security configuration, migration, training and support are separate, paid components, quoted for your requirement.

Example: a Dubai real estate brokerage on Business Premium licenses Copilot Business for its 12 team leaders and managers first: 12 × AED 66.24 (the limited-time offer price) = AED 794.88 a month before VAT, AED 9,538.56 a year. Agents follow once the pilot shows where Copilot saves time.

Does Copilot keep our data in the UAE?

A tenant created in the UAE stores its Microsoft 365 Copilot and Copilot Chat interactions in Microsoft's UAE data centres, alongside Exchange mail, SharePoint and OneDrive files and Teams chats. For Microsoft's full commitment that this data at rest stays in the UAE, the tenant needs the Advanced Data Residency (ADR) licence, on 100% of the tenant's paid licences. Two points to check before rollout:

We read your tenant's Data location card with you (Microsoft 365 admin centre > Settings > Org settings > Organization profile > Data location) before the first licence is assigned.

  • Where the tenant was created

    a tenant created outside the UAE, or before the UAE datacentres opened in 2019, may be stored elsewhere. ADR does not move it; it needs a migration to a new UAE tenant, which we run as a paid project. See Microsoft 365 in the UAE for what ADR covers.

How do we prepare a UAE tenant for Copilot?

Durations depend on the tenant's size and how much clean-up the permissions need; we give an indicative plan after the readiness check.

  1. Step 1: Free overview readiness check

    licences, app versions and the biggest sharing risks, in a short call with your IT lead.

  2. Step 2: Permissions review

    SharePoint sites, Teams and OneDrive folders shared with everyone, tightened before Copilot can quote them. SharePoint Advanced Management reports come with the first Copilot licence.

  3. Step 3: Data protection

    sensitivity labels and retention on contracts, HR files and client data.

  4. Step 4: Pilot

    a small group of heavy Outlook, Teams and Excel users, with usage measured over a few weeks.

  5. Step 5: Rollout and training

    wider licences for the teams that use it, with role-based training.

Which Copilot packages can you choose?

  • Copilot overview

    a short package that shows your team what Copilot does in Outlook, Teams, Word, Excel and PowerPoint, and how it fits your work.

  • Copilot end-to-end

    readiness, permissions clean-up, licensing, pilot, rollout and training, run as one project.

  • Copilot lab

    if you don't have Copilot yet, we set up a lab environment where your staff practise and test it on your own scenarios, priced per user.

  • Workshops

    hourly, half-day or full-day sessions, online or at your office.

Where do UAE companies use Copilot first?

  • Real estate

    drafting listing descriptions and client emails from viewing notes, and recapping Teams calls with buyers.

  • Travel and tourism

    summarising long booking threads in Outlook and drafting itinerary changes.

  • Trading

    explaining sales and stock figures in Excel and preparing weekly management decks in PowerPoint.

  • Free-zone companies

    one tenant for a small team, where a few licences for managers cover most of the value.

  • Education

    lesson and policy drafts in Word for staff, on the licences Microsoft offers for education.

How do we train UAE staff on Copilot?

Our Microsoft 365 Copilot training runs online as live virtual sessions or in person at your office, in English or Arabic. Staff practise in their own Outlook, Teams, Word and Excel, and leave with a prompt guide for their daily tasks. Training is a separate, paid component.

Frequently asked questions

  • Copilot Business costs AED 66.24 (a limited-time offer price; regular AED 77.28) per user per month as an add-on for organisations with up to 300 users, billed annually, as of October 2026. Business Standard with Copilot is AED 86.48 and Business Premium with Copilot AED 117.76. The enterprise Copilot add-on is AED 110.40. Add 5% VAT. Gulf Infotech invoices in AED from Dubai.

  • A tenant created in the UAE stores its Copilot and Copilot Chat interactions in Microsoft's UAE datacentres, together with mail, files and Teams chats. Microsoft's full commitment that this data at rest stays in the UAE needs the Advanced Data Residency licence. A tenant created elsewhere needs a migration to a new UAE tenant; ADR does not move it. Processing of a query can happen outside the UAE.

  • No. Most UAE companies start with the managers and the roles that spend their day in email, meetings and documents, and add licences once a pilot shows the value. The Copilot Business add-on works for up to 300 users per tenant, on Business Basic, Standard or Premium.

  • The overview-level readiness check is free: we review your licences, app versions and the main sharing risks in your tenant, and tell you what to fix before rollout. The full permissions clean-up, labels and rollout are quoted as a project.

  • Yes. We license Copilot for mainland and free-zone companies, including JAFZA, DMCC, DIFC and ADGM entities, and invoice the licensed entity in AED. Copilot is added to the entity's Microsoft 365 tenant, so each tenant needs eligible base plans.

  • Yes. Licensing, readiness work and rollout run remotely from our Dubai office, so companies in Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah get the same service. Training can be online or in person.
