Microsoft announces new EU Data Boundary for Copilot, extending private cloud and on-premise deployment options for highly regulated sectors including healthcare.

Why It Matters

This isn't about new shiny toys. It means your existing Microsoft 365 Copilot licenses can now process sensitive EU pharma data without leaving your private cloud or on-premise infrastructure.
