Why Sourcepass Launched the Center of Excellence for Microsoft

The Microsoft ecosystem is evolving fast and so are the needs of the businesses that rely on it. That’s why Sourcepass launched their Center of Excellence for Microsoft (MCOE): to help organizations get more from their Microsoft investments with expert guidance, scalable support, and a clear path forward.

In this episode of the Demystifying Microsoft podcast, Sourcepass CEO Chuck Canton joins SVP of Global Microsoft Practice, Nathan Taylor to discuss what the MCOE is, why it matters, and how it’s designed to support IT leaders navigating Microsoft’s increasingly complex landscape.

What is the Center of Excellence for Microsoft?

The MCOE is a dedicated team of Microsoft experts focused on helping organizations simplify, optimize, and scale their Microsoft environments. From licensing and security to cloud strategy and Copilot adoption, the MCOE brings together deep technical knowledge and real-world experience to drive better outcomes.

Why Now?

As Chuck explains in the episode, Microsoft’s rapid innovation—especially around AI, hybrid cloud, and security—has created both opportunity and complexity. Many organizations are struggling to keep up, and that’s where the MCOE comes in.

“We’re seeing a lot of customers who are overwhelmed by the pace of change,” Canton says. “The MCOE is about helping them make smart, strategic decisions that align with their business goals.”

What Makes the MCOE Different?

Unlike traditional support models, the MCOE is proactive, strategic, and deeply integrated with Microsoft’s roadmap. It’s not just about solving problems, it’s about helping organizations stay ahead of them.

Key benefits include:

• Expert Licensing Guidance: Avoid overspending and ensure compliance.
• Security and Compliance Support: Navigate evolving threats with confidence.
• Cloud and Hybrid Strategy: Build a roadmap that fits your business.
• Copilot Readiness: Prepare your environment for AI-powered productivity.

A Strategic Partner for the Long Term

Whether you’re planning a major migration, exploring Copilot, or just trying to get more value from your Microsoft 365 investment, the MCOE is here to help.

“This isn’t just a launch. It’s a long-term commitment to our clients,” Canton says. “We want to be the partner that helps them grow with Microsoft, not just react to it.”
