Microsoft Copilot Consulting – Our Solutions for You
The Microsoft Copilot rollout needs clear rules, sensible use cases and convinced employees. That's why our holistic M365 Copilot consulting puts data protection, value and acceptance equally in focus.
1. GDPR-compliant Copilot use
1. GDPR-compliant Copilot use
In the first step we work with you to develop a tailored policy that bindingly defines key decisions on the use of AI, especially on Copilot data protection. Together with your AI leads, our experts examine the opportunities and risks of Copilot for your company to ensure broad acceptance and practical suitability. A central topic: Copilot can access company data and evaluate it for its results – based on existing user permissions. To ensure data-protection compliance, we therefore place particular focus on limiting the volume of processed data. The result is a sound, individual policy that enables responsible, secure Copilot data protection in your company.
2. Focus on your most important use cases

Together with selected stakeholders we test concrete Microsoft Copilot use cases in the company – from Outlook and Teams through Word and Excel to Copilot agents in the Microsoft 365 apps. As orientation we draw on use cases with which comparable organizations have already had positive experiences. In doing so we focus on your value and time savings per use case. We also always weigh Copilot data protection and the efficiency of Copilot in everyday company work carefully against each other.
3. The right dose of change management

Our change management meets your employees where they are and puts them at the center of the change. With easy-to-understand Copilot use cases we create positive experiences of success, dismantle reservations and raise awareness of potential pitfalls.

Our tutorials are the basis for rolling out promising Microsoft Copilot use cases across your entire organization. Using concrete examples, this makes clear to all employees how to comply with Copilot data protection and integrate the tool into their workflow in a value-adding way. Alongside tutorials, our training ensures that your employees understand the policy, accept it and apply it in everyday work. We explain the background of the policy, show the effects of individual behavior and set out how Copilot can be used in line with the GDPR. Beyond Microsoft Copilot data protection, we also show how generative AI and Copilot support value creation in the company and where the limits of their use lie.

Microsoft Copilot consulting typically includes analyzing the IT and data landscape, defining Copilot use cases, reviewing data-protection and compliance requirements, and technical implementation. In addition, training, change-management measures and the development of a governance structure are offered to ensure safe and sustainable use of Copilot in the company.
Change management is a central component of every Microsoft Copilot consulting engagement. Introducing AI changes ways of working and requires acceptance among employees. Through targeted communication measures, training and pilot projects, the use of Copilot is encouraged. This ensures that the technology is not only implemented but also actively and effectively used.
Microsoft Copilot consulting usually begins with an analysis phase in which existing systems, data structures and processes are assessed. This is followed by the design of use cases and a rollout strategy. Copilot features are then implemented, employees are trained and change measures are carried out. Finally, success is measured against defined KPIs for continuous optimization.
