Microsoft Copilot Consulting – Our Solutions for You

The rollout of Microsoft Copilot requires clear guidelines, practical use cases, and committed employees. That’s why our comprehensive M365 Copilot consulting service focuses equally on data protection, benefits, and acceptance.

1. GDPR-compliant use of Copliot

In the first step, we work with you to develop a customized policy that sets out binding guidelines for key decisions regarding the use of AI, particularly with regard to Copilot data protection. Together with your AI leads, our experts will examine the opportunities and risks of Copilot for your company to ensure broad acceptance and practical feasibility. A key issue: Copilot can access company data and analyze it to generate results—based on existing user permissions. To ensure compliance with data protection laws, we therefore place special emphasis on limiting the scope of the data processed. The result is a well-founded, customized policy that enables responsible and secure Copilot data protection within your organization.

2. Focus on your most important use cases

Together with selected stakeholders, we test specific Microsoft Copilot use cases within your organization—from Outlook and Teams to Word and Excel, and even Copilot Agents in the Microsoft 365 apps. We draw inspiration from use cases where comparable organizations have already had positive experiences. In doing so, we focus on the value added and time savings for each use case. In addition, we always carefully balance Copilot’s data protection with its efficiency in day-to-day business operations.

3. The right dose of change management

As the leading experts in change management, we understand that some employees approach AI in a professional context with a healthy dose of skepticism. Others, however, underestimate Microsoft Copilot's data protection and the risks this can pose to your company. Our change management picks up 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, break down reservations, and raise awareness of potential pitfalls.

4. Tutorials and training tailored to your needs

Our tutorials lay the groundwork for rolling out promising Microsoft Copilot use cases across your entire organization. Using concrete examples, they help all employees understand how to comply with Copilot’s privacy policy and integrate the tool into their workflows in a way that adds value. In addition to tutorials, our training sessions ensure that your employees understand, accept, and apply the policy in their daily work. We explain the rationale behind the policy, highlight the implications of individual behavior, and detail how Copilot can be used in compliance with the GDPR. Beyond Microsoft Copilot data protection, we also demonstrate how generative AI and Copilot support value creation within the company and where the limits of their use lie.

"We carefully weigh up Copilot data protection and everyday efficiency to ensure safe use."
