This year has seen some of the biggest advancements in technology and productivity tools yet. The explosion of AI, and the announcement of Microsoft 365 (M365) Copilot, is dominating headlines, conferences, and coffee break discussions throughout the tech industry.
As a trusted Microsoft partner, Data#3 is one of only 600 organisations globally taking part in the Early Access Program (EAP). I’m excited to be able to share our first-hand experience of M365 Copilot with you as we start our journey – and help you start yours.
Microsoft isn’t known for shying away from investing in big tech, but this year, they’ve outdone themselves. The recently announced M365 Copilot – touted as the ‘Clippie glow-up of the century’ – is posed to transform the way we work and collaborate.
M365 Copilot will harness the power of AI to supercharge productivity, giving your team more time back in their days and maximising your organisation’s output. There are countless advantages to getting on board with M365 Copilot – enhanced productivity, cost reduction, time back for your staff, better customer service, market disruption, more thorough risk management, and improved analytics and insights – just to name a few.
Not trying to fear monger, but I also think it’s important to consider what happens if you don’t get on board. For example, what if your biggest competitor implements M365 Copilot before you do, and they’re able to channel all their efforts into innovation? Can you keep up with innovation, while you’re still dealing with work that could be carried out by AI?
In my opinion, organisations that are early adopters of M365 Copilot will be leaps and bounds ahead of their competitors. Do you think you’re ready to take the leap? If so, readiness is critical. Adopting and implementing AI policies, reviewing the quality and location of your data, and delving into the finer points of information governance will all be essential in your preparation for adoption and deployment.
Everyone’s got questions around the risks, potential payoffs, and preparation pathway for M365 Copilot adoption. When you’re dipping into your budget significantly to pay for new technology, you naturally want to know for sure that it’ll be worth it – and your stakeholders will want to be sure, too. By taking you along on Data#3’s M365 Copilot journey, we’re here to help you start answering these questions.
In the second instalment of Data#3’s flagship event series, JuiceIT, I’ll host a presentation session to discuss all things M365 Copilot.
In this session you will learn:
