When Microsoft Is
How Your Company Runs 

 

Most IT providers treat Microsoft as one item on a long list of things they manage. For a lot of businesses, that’s fine.

But if Microsoft 365, Azure, Teams, and Copilot are how your company actually runs — email, files, meetings, security, and increasingly your AI strategy — a generalist relationship starts to show its limits. 

Sourcepass MCOE is the dedicated Microsoft practice within Sourcepass, helping organizations get more from their Microsoft investment through strategy, security, modernization, adoption, and ongoing optimization.

We don’t split our attention across every technology platform on the market — we’re a two-time recipient of the Pax8 Global Microsoft Copilot MVP Award, and businesses across the country rely on us to get more from Microsoft than a generalist provider can.

This page covers what a center of excellence for Microsoft is, how our engagement model works, and where to go next depending on what you need.

What Is a Center of
Excellence for Microsoft? 

A Center of Excellence for Microsoft is a dedicated team focused entirely on one thing: helping your business get real value from Microsoft’s ecosystem.

That’s different from a typical managed IT provider, where Microsoft support is one responsibility split across a team also handling firewalls, printers, phone systems, and everything else in your environment.

Sourcepass MCOE exists because Microsoft’s platform has become too important to be a side responsibility. Security settings, licensing decisions, Copilot rollouts, and Teams governance all interact with each other, and a team that only touches Microsoft occasionally is more likely to miss those connections than one that works inside Microsoft’s ecosystem every day.

OUR STORY

About Sourcepass MCOE

 

Our team’s Microsoft focus goes back more than a decade, and we joined Sourcepass to extend that focus with more resources and broader reach.

Today, as Sourcepass MCOE, we bring the same team our clients have trusted for years—now backed by a national platform built specifically to help businesses get more from Microsoft as Sourcepass's dedicated Microsoft practice.

Every engagement is backed by specialized Microsoft expertise; two Pax8 Global Microsoft Copilot MVP Awards; Microsoft Solutions Partner designations across Security, AI Business Solutions, and Cloud & AI Platforms; and the national resources of one of the country’s top-ranked managed services providers.

Licensing & Advisory Engagement

For organizations with capable internal IT who need the right Microsoft licensing and expert guidance — not implementation. 

We start with a conversation about what you're running today and what's coming — no formal assessment required. From there: licensing and subscription procurement across the Microsoft portfolio; guidance on which plan actually fits, and where GCC or GCC High applies; a review of what you're currently paying for against what your organization actually uses; and renewal and true-up support, so licensing changes don't arrive as a surprise. Your IT team handles deployment, configuration, and day-to-day administration. MCOE makes sure the licensing underneath it is right.

We start with your Microsoft 365 security posture and environment as they exist today. This isn't a sales pitch, but rather an honest look at where risk, governance gaps, configuration issues, and underused Microsoft investments may be limiting your business.

It’s often our first conversation with a new client, and it’s built to be useful whether or not you engage us further.

    Readiness, Deployment, and Governance

    Microsoft Copilot has the potential to transform how employees work, but successful adoption starts well before licenses are assigned.

    Sourcepass helps organizations evaluate readiness, assess data access and permissions, establish governance controls, and determine where Copilot can deliver the greatest impact across departments. Our team works to ensure Copilot is introduced securely, with the guardrails necessary to protect sensitive information and maintain compliance requirements. 

    From rollout planning and role-based deployment to user training and adoption support, Sourcepass helps organizations turn Copilot from a new technology purchase into a tool employees rely on every day. Whether you're evaluating Copilot for the first time or improving an existing deployment, our team helps maximize return on your Microsoft investment.

  • Microsoft Azure Services

    Migration, Cost Optimization, and Hybrid Infrastructure

    Microsoft Azure provides a powerful platform for modernizing infrastructure, applications, and business operations.

    Sourcepass helps organizations migrate workloads to Azure, design cloud-first architectures, and implement scalable environments that align with business requirements, security needs, and growth objectives.

    Whether you're moving a handful of servers or planning a larger cloud transformation, our team delivers a structured approach that minimizes risk and disruption.

    Beyond migration, we help organizations control cloud spending through cost optimization reviews, right-sizing exercises, and licensing guidance. For businesses requiring a mix of cloud and on-premises resources, we also design hybrid solutions that combine Azure services with existing infrastructure while maintaining security, performance, and compliance.

  • Azure Local

    Azure Services on Your Own Infrastructure

    Azure Local extends the capabilities of Microsoft Azure to infrastructure that remains under your control. This approach enables organizations to leverage Azure technologies while maintaining workloads on-premises for compliance, latency, performance, or operational reasons.

    Sourcepass helps evaluate where Azure Local fits into an organization's broader Microsoft strategy and designs solutions that align with technical and business requirements.

    By combining local infrastructure with Azure management and services, organizations can gain the benefits of cloud innovation without requiring every workload to leave the data center. This creates greater flexibility while supporting modern application, security, and operational requirements

  • Microsoft 365 Services

    Microsoft 365 serves as the operational foundation for many organizations, supporting communication, collaboration, productivity, and security.

    Sourcepass helps businesses navigate licensing decisions, optimize subscriptions, and ensure they are getting the maximum value from their Microsoft investment. Our team evaluates licensing alignment, business requirements, and future growth plans to recommend the right solution for each environment.

    We also help organizations strengthen security, modernize configurations, and improve governance across Microsoft 365. From identity and access management to compliance controls and migration planning, our specialists help create a secure, efficient environment that supports employees while reducing operational risk.

  • Microsoft Teams & Phone

    Deployment, Governance, and Business Calling

    Microsoft Teams has evolved into a centralized platform for collaboration, meetings, calling, and business communication.

    Sourcepass helps organizations design and deploy Teams environments that are structured, secure, and aligned with how employees actually work. This includes governance planning, collaboration strategy, user adoption, and preventing the platform sprawl that often occurs as organizations grow.

    For businesses looking to modernize communications, Sourcepass also helps deploy Microsoft Teams Phone and business texting capabilities. From number porting and call routing to training and adoption, we ensure the transition is seamless while delivering a modern communication experience across the organization

  • Windows 365 & AVD

    Virtual Desktop Planning and Deployment

    Modern work requires secure access from anywhere, and virtual desktops provide a flexible way to support remote and hybrid users.

    Sourcepass helps organizations evaluate Windows 365 and Azure Virtual Desktop, recommending the right solution based on user needs, performance requirements, budget, and long-term business objectives.

    Our team handles the planning and deployment process, helping organizations provide employees with secure access to applications, files, and resources from virtually any device. The result is a modern desktop experience that supports productivity, security, and scalability without increasing infrastructure complexity.

  • Hybrid Microsoft Environment

    Cloud and On‑Premises Infrastructure Working Together

    Not every workload belongs entirely in the cloud. Sourcepass helps organizations design hybrid Microsoft environments that combine Microsoft 365 and Azure with existing on-premises infrastructure.

    This approach provides the flexibility of cloud services while maintaining the control, performance, or compliance requirements certain workloads demand.

    Whether supporting identity management, application hosting, storage, or business continuity initiatives, our team helps organizations determine which resources belong in the cloud and which should remain on-premises. The result is a balanced technology strategy designed around business needs rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
