Copilot for Microsoft 365 is an AI tool that can help you work faster and smarter. When deployed across all of your Microsoft 365 applications (such as Word, Teams, PowerPoint, and Outlook) it can revolutionise office productivity and unlock routes to new competitive advantage.
- Ease digital overload
- Get more out of meetings
- Catch-up in a flash
- Strengthen and accelerate creation of documents in Office 365
- Bring ideas to life
- Quickly analyse and explore data
But for Copilot to work effectively in your organisation, you need to deploy it in the right way.
For example, when a user asks Copilot questions, it will surface any data in SharePoint and OneDrive for Business that the user can access, putting data at their fingertips and enabling faster decision making.
However, if your data hygiene and access processes are not in a good place, allowing Copilot (and thus your employees) easier access to corporate data introduces new security and compliance risks. The last thing you want is employees being able to ask Copilot for the CEOs salary information and personal details!
Kocho’s Copilot for Microsoft 365 Baseline Readiness Engagement has been designed to ensure that your environment is properly configured for a baseline rollout of Copilot. Protecting access to your most sensitive data and helping to mitigate compliance risks.
