Net Friends will help you assess your business and complete the purchase of your licenses. This four-step process will help your business implement Copilot with the least disruption and highest ROI.
Step One: Software and Hardware Assessment
- Software: Every user who needs Microsoft 365 Copilot needs a M365 Business or Enterprise license or an Office 365 Enterprise license.
- Operating System: Windows 11 Required
- Hardware: Devices with at least 16GB of Ram and 256 GB of SSD storage.
Step Two: Assessing Your Organizational Needs
Pinpoint the roles and departments that stand to gain the most from AI assistance. Focus on areas where repetitive tasks, data processing, or content creation are common. Not every employee needs a license.
Step Three: Strategic Rollout and Licensing
A phased rollout is an excellent approach for determining the optimal number of licenses required. This allows you to measure the impact and refine your deployment strategy.
Step Four: Educate Users
Prioritize educating users to help them take maximum advantage of Copilot's capability. Promote exploration and offer sustained support to meet any challenges head-on.
Step Five: Assess User Experience
Regularly assess Copilot's impact on productivity and prepare to adjust its usage. This requires setting clear metrics beforehand to ensure the tool is genuinely delivering improved efficiencies. Use active employee feedback to identify successes and gaps, then utilize this input to provide additional training and adjust license allocations as necessary for optimal placement.
Rolling out the licenses is a straightforward process. Ensuring that your data is prepared is more complex. The core principle for data protection with Copilot is that it operates within the security and permissions boundaries you have already established in your Microsoft 365 tenant. Our IT Experts can help you address these issues.
