Cybit Connect - February Edition
Welcome to the jam-packed first edition of Cybit Connect, our new monthly newsletter connecting you with all the latest tech industry news, events and offers from Cybit.
Microsoft Copilot now available for organisations of all sizes
Perhaps the biggest news in tech over the last few months has been the launch of Microsoft Copilot. What can the earliest users tell us about generative AI in the workplace?
A staggering 77% of early users surveyed as part of the Microsoft 2023 Work Trend Index: Special Report told Microsoft that once they've worked with Copilot, they don't want to go back.
Copilot makes Microsoft 365 even more powerful for organisations because it works across your entire universe of data at work — including emails, meetings, chats, documents, the web and more.
With Cybit's Managed Microsoft 365 and Copilot our experts are here to support and guide you through a highly communicative engagement, focusing on all areas of the Microsoft 365 suite to achieve great outcomes. We support all of your Microsoft 365 products including Teams, OneDrive, SharePoint and Exchange to get the best out of each to meet your needs.
Is Your Organisation AI Ready?
With most organisation's now exploring how Copilot can transform productivity and creativity using #AI our CTO Rob Hankin recently published a blog providing a comprehensive overview of the current state of AI and it's potential impact on businesses. The blog entitled "Is your Organisation Ready for AI?" also offers practical tips on how to prepare your organisation for Co-Pilot and the AI-driven future! 🤖
