Microsoft announce the Monthly Enterprise Channel
Tuesday 19th May 2020
Microsoft have recently introduced a new update channel, the Monthly Enterprise Channel. This new update channel was created in response to feedback from your customers who were eager to adopt the Current Channel, but required added predictability, insights* and controls* when receiving new features every month.
Starting on June 9th, 2020, Current Channel will become the default update channel for new Office 365 or Microsoft 365 tenants. This means that if your customers establish a new tenant after June 9, the default update channel for Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise will be Current Channel, not Semi-Annual Enterprise Channel. There is no change to the default update channels for existing tenants.
On June 9th, Microsoft are also updating the names of existing update channels to offer admins more clarity into their servicing strategy. There will be no other changes to update channels or their cadence.
