How we can help

Microsoft Copilot services for Perth businesses

Whether you’re still deciding or already have licences, we help with each step, from checking your setup to training your team.

Copilot readiness check

We review permissions, sharing and security settings across your Microsoft 365, so Copilot only shows each person what they should see.

Know what Copilot can see before it goes live.

Licence planning

Not everyone needs Copilot on day one. So we look at how each role works and help you decide who should get a licence first.

Licences where they add real value.

Pilot rollout

Start with a small group and real tasks. Each pilot is designed to show results within weeks, so you can decide what to do next with evidence.

A low-risk way to test the value.

Staff training

Show your team how to use Copilot in the apps they already know, write useful prompts and check what it produces.

Confident staff who use it every day.

AI use policy

Set clear rules for your team: which AI tools are approved, what information can go into them and when a person must check the output.

Clear guidance your staff can follow.

Ongoing support

After rollout, we review how your team uses Copilot, then refine settings and training as your needs change.

Before you switch it on

Why Copilot readiness matters

Copilot works with the permissions you already have in Microsoft 365. As a result, if a file is shared too widely, Copilot can surface it in someone’s answer, even if they never knew it existed.

In most businesses, sharing grows untidy over the years. So the safest rollout starts by tidying access, then switching Copilot on.

What we check before rollout

  • Who can open sensitive folders, sites and teams.
  • Files shared with the whole company or by open links.
  • Accounts that still belong to former staff.
  • Sign-in and security settings, including multi-factor authentication.
  • Where your business information is stored and who owns it.

How we work

How a Copilot rollout works

A clear, staged process, so you see results early and stay in control of the cost.

1

Review your setup

First, we look at your Microsoft 365 permissions, security settings and the tasks you want help with.

2

Fix access and settings

Next, we tidy sharing and close gaps, so Copilot only sees what each person should.

3

Pilot with a small team

Then a small group uses Copilot on real work, and we measure what it saves.

4

Train and expand

Finally, we train more staff and extend licences where the pilot shows value.

FAQs

Microsoft Copilot in Perth: common questions

Can’t see your question? Ask our team.

Getting started

What is Microsoft 365 Copilot?

Microsoft 365 Copilot is an AI assistant built into apps such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and Teams. It drafts, summarises and finds information using the work files, emails and chats each person already has access to.

Is Copilot safe for our business data?

Copilot works within the permissions you already have, so if people can open files they shouldn’t, Copilot can surface them too. That’s why we review access, sharing and security settings before rollout, so Copilot only uses what each person should see.

Do all our staff need a Copilot licence?

Not necessarily. Some roles get far more value from Copilot than others. So we look at how your people work and help you decide who should have a licence first.

Is Copilot better than ChatGPT for business?

It depends on what you need. Copilot works inside Microsoft 365 with your own files and permissions, while ChatGPT is a separate tool. Our comparison guide explains the trade-offs.

Rollout and support

How long does a Copilot rollout take?

It depends on how ready your Microsoft 365 setup is and how many people are involved. However, we usually start with a pilot designed to show results within weeks, then expand to more staff.

What do you check before switching Copilot on?

We look at who can access sensitive folders and sites, files shared too widely, accounts belonging to former staff, and your sign-in and security settings. Then we fix what needs fixing before Copilot goes live.

Do you train our staff to use Copilot?

Yes. Training covers everyday tasks in the apps your team already uses, how to write good prompts, how to check outputs and what information should stay out of AI tools.

How much does a Copilot rollout cost?

Cost depends on the number of users, how ready your setup is and the training you need. So we talk through your goals first and provide a quote before any work begins. Microsoft licences are priced separately.
