Activating Microsoft Copilot can transform the way your organization handles data and insights. However, there are several crucial factors to keep in mind to ensure a smooth and successful rollout.
- Commercial Commitment
At present, enabling Copilot requires a 12-month commercial commitment. It’s important to understand this upfront to plan your budget and usage accordingly. - Usage and License Deactivation
We are nearing the end of the initial adopters’ period, and Microsoft believes that many unused Copilot licenses may soon be deactivated. If you’ve purchased Copilot licenses but haven’t actively used them, it’s time to evaluate their utility and make necessary adjustments. - Content Rationalization and Security
One of the most important steps before turning on Copilot is rationalizing and securing your content. This is essential to avoid unintentionally disclosing information that was assumed to be secure. A well-thought-out content management strategy can mitigate these risks and ensure that sensitive data remains protected. - Understanding Data Science Basics
There is a growing stigma in the industry regarding the accuracy of tools like Copilot. However, this issue often stems from a lack of basic data science understanding among business users. You don’t need to be a data scientist to use Copilot effectively, but you do need to learn how to ask and prompt for information in a meaningful way. Think of it as learning to use the right search string in Google to get more effective results. - Copilot for Excel
Copilot for Excel now understands formulas and, with just a few simple prompts, can build them for you. This feature can save time and improve accuracy in data management tasks. - Copilot for Outlook
Copilots in Outlook can drastically reduce those hours of lost productivity in the morning to mere minutes by drafting well-crafted responses based on your past trends. This can streamline email management and enhance efficiency. - Copilot for D365 CRM
Copilot for D365 CRM addresses those nagging issues that keep you up at night, making them much less troublesome. By automating routine tasks and providing insightful data, it can significantly improve your CRM experience.
