    AI in daily work that doesn't just impress, it actually gets used

    Copilot uses permitted data in Outlook, Excel, Word and Teams. We clarify permissions, suitable use cases and measurement in a controlled pilot.

    A first agent on your own data

    With Copilot Studio we build a realistic first agent for your company, for example an internal HR or IT FAQ on your SharePoint, in weeks rather than months and without developers.

    Adoption that survives month two

    Role-based prompt training, concrete use cases per team and usage visibility ensure the licence is used, not paid for and forgotten once the novelty fades.

    The licence is bought, the value never arrives

    Many SMEs switch Copilot on and discover that after three weeks of novelty almost no one uses it, and no one knows whether it surfaces confidential content that was mis-shared over the years. Copilot only shows each person what they already have access to, so the real risk is your accumulated permission chaos in SharePoint, not the AI itself. Without clean-up, clear rules and real training, the investment fizzles out.

    A visible change, not another tool rollout.

    Before: licence aloneUnclear use cases, accumulated permissions and little guidance.
    After: guided pilotReviewed data access, prioritised tasks and a defined evaluation.

    Frequently asked questions

    Will Copilot see confidential data it shouldn't?

    Copilot only shows each user content they already have access to, it does not bypass permissions. The risk is pre-existing oversharing in SharePoint. That is exactly what we remediate with SharePoint Advanced Management and Purview before go-live.

    Is our data used to train the AI models?

    No. Microsoft contractually guarantees in the Product Terms and DPA that your prompts and outputs are not used to train the foundation models. Processing happens inside the M365 service boundary within the EU Data Boundary.

    Where is the data stored, and is it compatible with Swiss data protection?

    Microsoft operates Swiss datacentre regions (Zurich, Geneva), and Copilot has been a covered workload in the Product Terms data-residency commitments since March 2024; for EU/EFTA tenants it is an EU Data Boundary service. In-country processing for Switzerland is part of the 2026 roadmap wave, we treat that transparently as roadmap, not as available today.

    Is the free Microsoft Copilot the same as Microsoft 365 Copilot?

    No. The free Microsoft Copilot chat does not know your company data. Microsoft 365 Copilot is a paid add-on tied to an eligible M365 licence and grounded in your tenant data, which is why it delivers relevant answers in the first place.
