CloudWay Frontier Firm PoC

Build a resilient, innovative, AI‑accelerated organization with Microsoft 365 & Copilot

The CloudWay Frontier Firm PoC is a 4–6‑week engagement that helps organizations move from early Copilot experimentation to measurable business impact.
Using the CloudWay Frontier Firm Maturity Model (100–500), we benchmark readiness, redesign work patterns, and validate real Copilot/AI‑agent scenarios to improve resilience, knowledge flow, and operational performance.

Why This PoC?

Many organizations test Copilot without the governance, information architecture, workflows, and operating model needed to realize value.

This PoC provides:

• A maturity baseline (100–500) with actionable insights
• A target operating model for Teams, SharePoint, Viva & Copilot
• Modern Assistant‑first and Human–Agent work patterns
• Validation of real business processes using real files
• A prioritized roadmap for responsible, scalable AI adoption
• Strong Responsible AI guardrails and data‑quality principles
