Endless developments in technology put businesses in a strong position to improve performance, efficiency and outcomes. The key is in knowing what to adopt, harness; and how to do it most effectively.
And, as new platforms and solutions become increasingly sophisticated, advice from the experts will not only save time and money in researching what’s new – and deciding what is and isn’t beneficial or relevant – it can also help in the implementation, advice and training that is inevitably needed once a new strategy is in place.
Aztech in Milton Keynes has built a reputation as a trusted partner for clients looking for innovative tech solutions and digital transformation; the company is currently working with a number of businesses on Microsoft’s latest application – Microsoft Copilot – which has been designed to enhance productivity and decision making through artificial intelligence (AI).
As a Microsoft Gold Partner, Aztech specialises in empowering businesses through cutting-edge technologies as they become available. The company’s team of experts are adept at ensuring clients stay ahead in the digital landscape – and in ways that streamline operations and deliver positive results.
Sean Houghton, Commercial and Operations Director at Aztech, said:
“There are a number of facets to the services we offer, some are around troubleshooting, such as 24/7 IT support and cyber security, but we also offer strategic guidance to help our clients build and maintain an IT infrastructure that operates seamlessly and in ways they need it to.
“New technology brings challenges, but innovative platforms like Microsoft Copilot can prove to be invaluable when you understand them and build them into your processes, and we provide the expertise to handle all those challenge while you work towards a better way to achieve your goals and build your business.”
Microsoft Copilot has been developed to bring the next generation of AI into a wider sphere, integrated into Microsoft 365 to work alongside the user, and embedded into Microsoft 365 apps such as Word, PowerPoint, Outlook, Excel and Teams
It will allow businesses to navigate their digital transformation journey, leveraging advanced AI capabilities to analyse existing IT environments and provide comprehensive insights and recommendations tailored to each organisation’s unique needs. By assessing current infrastructures and user behaviours, Copilot identifies potential challenges and opportunities, enabling businesses to make informed decisions and mitigate risks more effectively.
Microsoft Copilot also fosters collaboration and alignment across business units by providing clear visibility into IT performance metrics and compliance requirements. This enables more effective strategic planning and resource allocation.
Its features include:
■ Natural language commands: users can write, summarise and edit text or generate insights using simple prompts.
■ Enhanced collaboration in Microsoft Teams: Copilot helps summarise discussions, assign tasks, and provide real-time updates during meetings.
■ Data insights in Excel: generate charts, uncover trends, and perform data analysis without advanced formulas.
■ PowerPoint enhancements: create visually impactful presentations by generating slides from content briefs.
■ Integration across Microsoft 365: works seamlessly in Outlook, Word, Teams, and more, offering a unified experience.
Businesses can use Microsoft Copilot in a number of areas including:
- Business decision-making: to automate reports and data analysis to make data-driven decisions faster.
- Marketing and content creation: draft campaigns, write compelling emails and prepare creative presentations.
- HR and team management: simplify meeting notes, track goals and manage employee communication.
- Customer service: speed up response times by summarising inquiries and drafting replies.
Aztech has been using Microsoft Copilot within its business to boost productivity, gain efficiencies and streamline processes for some time now and is offering clients a Readiness Plan to help them do the same.
Sean added:
“The simple fact is that embracing developments in technology will be beneficial for businesses, but only if they have a clear idea of what that technology can do for them, what they need and don’t need and, of course, how to use it most effectively.
“Microsoft Copilot is an exciting development that will transform work processes and decision-making processes, using the power of AI to save hours of time and effort in analysing data and coming up with solutions on how to implement the knowledge businesses already have.
“After years of experience as a Microsoft Gold Partner, our teams are perfectly placed to guide clients through integrating and optimising Microsoft solutions to ensure seamless adoption and maximum ROI.
“Implementing any new technology solution needs a strategy that is bespoke to a business or an individual user and we have a wealth of experience in helping clients make the most of what is available to them for the benefit of their companies.”
