Microsoft 365 Copilot – Start Investing in AI
Blog|by Kieran Hollingsworth|3 February 2025
If any doubts remained over the role of AI in the future of work, the release of Microsoft 365 Copilot early last year put them to rest. Copilot has taken productivity to a whole new level, bringing AI into the apps we use every day.
Microsoft hammered home this AI focus at Microsoft Ignite, showcasing features like Copilot agents and custom copilots. These features make the everyday that bit more efficient, with customisation options to tailor your copilots and agents to your business’s unique needs.
And with 72% of businesses confirming they’ve already adopted AI for at least one business function according to a McKinsey & Company report, It’s time to have those internal discussions about where AI fits in with your business. Don’t get left behind.
What’s stopping you from adopting AI?
AI has been and will continue to be a driver of innovation across industries. But, as with any new piece of tech, there are some barriers holding businesses back from getting on board with AI. One such barrier for many businesses is the concern around cyber security.
This is a valid concern. You should know the risks before you adopt any new piece of technology, and AI is no exception. But with the right solutions in place, you don’t need to worry. The trick to a successful AI rollout is knowing what you need to have in place before you adopt. But where do you get information to address your most burning questions?
Book a Copilot Readiness Assessment
Address all of your AI concerns, identify the risks and find the solutions with a Copilot Readiness Assessment.
Security, data, apps and devices. We’ll cover all bases to give you peace of mind that your business is secure before you adopt.
Going beyond security, our assessment will look at the prerequisite licences you need for Copilot, and the best candidates for your trial run. One of our Microsoft Modern Work Specialists will be with you every step of the way to explain the results and give you their expert advice.
We’ll also give you an idea of the cost and ROI of AI. We understand that when it comes to a tool like Copilot, cost can be one of the biggest barriers to entry. You need to know you’ll get out more than what you put in. We’ve factored this into our readiness assessment to give you an estimate of both the cost of any Copilot licences, and their potential impact on your business.
You don’t need to go in blind with your first venture into the world of AI. We’ll give you the complete picture so you can decide if AI is right for your business.
How does our Copilot Readiness Assessment work?
Our Copilot Readiness Assessment is powered by our Azure management and optimisation platform, Surveil. Through straightforward reports and the identification of cost-saving opportunities, Surveil can get your Azure usage in order - We’ve found it to be quite useful in other aspects of Microsoft licensing too!
Our Microsoft expert will get read-only access to your Microsoft environment with Surveil to produce a report going over your Copilot readiness. Whether you’re a small or large business, and wherever you are on your Copilot journey, we’ll get you on the right track.
From risks and licensing prerequisites to optimising your current spend, our Copilot Readiness Assessment is all you need to kick off your business’s Copilot journey.
