Why SMEs should adopt Microsoft Copilot

Microsoft Copilot is an AI assistant built into the Microsoft 365 apps your team already uses. It's the product of Microsoft's long-running partnership with OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, which launched in 2022.

Microsoft has embedded OpenAI's language models directly into Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and Teams. Because Copilot works inside tools your team already knows, businesses have been able to put it to use for a wide range of tasks without changing how they work day to day.

Unlike ChatGPT and other consumer AI tools, Copilot is built for enterprise use. It complies with GDPR and the EU Data Boundary, and more businesses are adopting it because of the productivity gains and return on investment it delivers.

If you've been hearing about Copilot but aren't sure where to start, we've put together a full adoption guide to walk you through it.

What you get with our free guide

We wrote this guide specifically for UK small and medium-sized business owners and their teams. It takes about 15 minutes to read, and you can have it in your inbox straight away.

It runs to nine pages and covers what you actually need to know to get started with Copilot - no technical documentation, no marketing spin.

How AI tools have evolved

The guide covers where it all began: OpenAI was founded over a decade ago, which drew Microsoft's attention and led to a major investment in developing the technology. Understanding this background should help settle any concerns you have about bringing AI into your workplace.

Copilot vs other AI tools

We cover what Copilot actually offers integration with Microsoft 365, data analysis, document drafting and explain the differences between the free and enterprise versions. You'll also see why it's the stronger choice compared with other AI tools on the market.

Common security issues to avoid

Adopting Copilot requires a security review of your Microsoft 365 tenancy first. The guide explains why this step matters for your data security, and how to avoid misconfigurations and security risks before switching Copilot on.
