How Copilot Benefits Your Business
Organizations of all sizes and in all industries can greatly benefit from implementing Copilot into their existing ecosystem. Here are just a few of the benefits of this leading technology.
- Intelligent Assistance: Copilot provides insights and suggestions while you work, automates routine tasks and optimizes data insights. It also helps you prepare for and hold team meetings by pulling up your relevant information and taking impeccable notes.
- Licensing Guidance: The AI tool integrates seamlessly with Microsoft 365 solutions. This integration gives you all the benefits of AI while upholding your organization's existing data security standards. Leveraging AI within familiar applications also ensures a minimal learning curve and disruptions.
- Customizable Experiences: AI learns from user interactions to adapt to the unique needs of each person within your organization. Your IT team or partner, along with your leadership, can easily monitor and control the extent of AI assistance as it aligns with your overall policies and objectives.
- Secure Collaboration: Copilot works within the secure boundaries of your Microsoft 365 ecosystem, allowing you to collaborate with confidence, knowing your data is protected. Your data will be securely stored in the cloud with a clear separation between the large language models (LLMs) and the Microsoft 365 Graph. LLMs provide AI capabilities and the Graph interacts with the LLM to create personalized experiences without compromising data integrity. Your data will remain isolated and protected within your tenant.

As a security-first service provider, we’ll ensure Copilot is operating within your established compliance framework while respecting any pre-existing data governance and user permissions. Your user prompts and other queries are stored similar to emails within your organization's Exchange, where they will adhere to all your data policies.
