Microsoft 365 Copilot

Copilot works inside Outlook, Teams, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and the other Microsoft 365 apps, using the files, email and chats your people can already open. We help you get ready for it and roll it out.

Licensing guidance

Copilot is an add-on to eligible Microsoft 365 plans, and Copilot Chat is included with Microsoft 365. We help you decide which people need a Copilot license, who can start with Copilot Chat, and how it fits the plans you already have.

Permissions and oversharing cleanup

Copilot only shows people what they already have permission to see. If a SharePoint site, Teams channel or shared folder is open to everyone, Copilot can bring it up in answers. We review file, SharePoint and Teams permissions and fix oversharing before rollout.

Sensitivity labels and data protection

Where your plan includes them, we set up Microsoft Purview sensitivity labels and data protection policies for confidential files. Copilot respects the usage rights on files encrypted with sensitivity labels.

Pilot rollout

We start with a small group of users, confirm settings and collect feedback, then roll Copilot out to more of your team in stages.

User training

We show your team how to use Copilot in Outlook, Teams, Word, Excel and PowerPoint, how to write clear prompts, and why to review Copilot’s answers before relying on them.

24x7 support

Sierra Experts Managed Services supports Copilot along with the rest of your Microsoft 365 environment 24x7, including license changes, user questions and permission updates.

Talk to us about Copilot Call 412.722.0707
