Copilot is integrated into Microsoft 365 in two ways. It works alongside you, embedded in the Microsoft 365 apps you use every day — Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams and more — to unleash creativity, unlock productivity and uplevel skills. Working with Ultima, here are 6 top points where your business can leverage Copilot's potential.
1.
→ Customised integration roadmaps
Every business is unique in terms of its existing technology infrastructure, team skillset, and development methodologies. Choosing a technology partner that possesses a deep understanding of diverse business needs and the experience of supporting customisable automation and AI integration roadmaps is key. Whether you're a startup or an established enterprise, they can tailor a plan that ensures minimal disruption while maximising the benefits.
2.
→ Skill-building and training
For businesses to harness the full potential of Copilot, our partners will offer hands-on training sessions, webinars, and continuous learning modules, helping customers to familiarise themselves with Copilot's functions and work together to identify potential infrastructure optimisation needed, offer the right solutions and expert resources to help avoid common pitfalls ahead of time.
3.
→ Infrastructure optimisation
Copilot, being an AI-driven tool, requires a robust cloud-backed infrastructure to operate seamlessly. Skilled Microsoft technology partners can assist businesses in assessing their current infrastructure and making requisite modifications to ensure optimal performance. This could include cloud migrations, server upgrades, and the integration of other supportive technologies.
4.
→ Continuous support and feedback
Adopting a new technology often comes with its fair share of teething issues. Our partners are there to provide round-the-clock technical support, ensuring that any challenges encountered during the integration and usage phases are addressed effectively and efficiently. Additionally, they will act as a conduit for feedback, allowing Microsoft to continuously enhance Copilot based on real-world customer usage and needs.
5.
→ Ensuring data security and compliance
Data security remains a top concern, especially when integrating cloud-based solutions. Our technology partners are well-versed in global data protection regulations and best practices. They guide businesses in setting up Copilot in a manner that safeguards sensitive information, maintains data integrity, and meets all regulatory requirements.
6.
→ Enhancing collaboration and productivity
Beyond the technical aspects, Copilot promises a new era of collaborative coding, where developers, irrespective of their experience level, can work together more efficiently. Our partners work with businesses to establish collaborative frameworks, ensuring teams can maximise Copilot's capabilities to produce high-quality code faster and more reliably.
