Microsoft Launches AI-Powered Workplace Solution Microsoft Places to Enhance Flexible Work

November 19, 2024 Microsoft Partner News

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is not just transforming how we work, but also where we work. As flexible work becomes increasingly popular, certain aspects such as coordinating in-person connections have not evolved significantly. To bridge this gap between the physical and digital divide, a new category of technology solutions, the AI-powered workplace, is emerging. Microsoft is at the forefront of this transformation with solutions like Microsoft 365 Copilot and Microsoft Teams.

As of today, Microsoft Places, an AI-powered solution that applies the power of AI to flexible work in innovative ways, is generally available. Microsoft Places simplifies the coordination of in-person gatherings or spontaneous sync-ups with colleagues in the office, all within the Microsoft apps that are used daily. It also provides IT and facilities administrators with critical insights into occupancy and utilization trends, which are more valuable than ever in the era of flexible work.

Microsoft's suite of AI-powered workplace solutions helps organizations unlock next-level coordination, modernization, and optimization. Microsoft Places, in particular, brings the AI-powered workplace to life.

Customers with a qualifying Microsoft 365 subscription will have access to core Places features. These include setting up and updating their work plan, viewing collaborators’ work plans, accessing peek card experiences in the new calendar, scheduling in-person meetings, managing hybrid RSVPs, and workplace presence-related capabilities.

Customers with a Teams Premium license will have access to additional features such as Places finder, intelligent suggestions, Places explorer, team guidance, space analytics, and autorelease policies.

The SKUs for Places core features include Microsoft 365 Business Basic, Standard, and Premium, Microsoft 365 or Office 365 E1, E3, E5, Microsoft 365 or Office 365 for Education (A1, A3, A5), and Microsoft 365 or Office 365 F1, F3.

For other Teams-specific features in Places core, the SKUs include Microsoft Teams Essentials, Enterprise, and EEA. For Places enhanced, the SKU is Microsoft Teams Premium Introductory Pricing. One of these Teams SKUs is required to access the Teams-specific features in Places core for customers who purchase Teams separately from a Microsoft 365 subscription.

To learn more about Microsoft Places and the value it delivers for flexible work, you can read about the AI-powered workplace on the Microsoft Community Hub, visit the Microsoft Places website, or read the Microsoft Places documentation on Microsoft Learn.
