About this webinar

AI spend is about to become a board-level conversation at your company, whether you're ready or not. Microsoft has recently rolled out usage-based billing across Copilot Cowork, agents, and Foundry, which means the predictable, per-seat AI budget you planned for is going away. If you can't answer what's driving the cost or who owns it, you'll be the one explaining the overage after it happens. 

 

Join Quisitive's Michael Quill and Steven Balusek for a straight-talk session on what's actually changing in how Microsoft charges for AI, and what that means for your budget over the next two quarters. You'll leave with the five questions you should be able to answer about your AI spend right now, and a clear read on where your organization is exposed. 

 

This isn't a product demo or a dashboard tour. It's 45 minutes to get ahead of a cost conversation you're going to have anyway, on your terms instead of finance's. 

 

What You'll Learn

In this session, Quisitive experts Michael Quill and Steven Balusek will explore:

What's changing in Microsoft's AI pricing model and why usage-based billing impacts Copilot, agents, and Foundry

The five questions every IT and business leader should be able to answer about AI consumption

How to establish ownership, visibility, and accountability for AI costs before they become a problem
