Where AI meets Productivity.
Microsoft Copilot combines the power of large language models with an organisation’s data in Microsoft 365 apps, and the general knowledge out on the internet.
The simplicity of natural language makes it easier and faster to use Copilot as an AI assistant for tasks within Microsoft 365 applications, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Teams.
With the right setup and governance, Copilot offers businesses a secure, efficient way to leverage data platforms, protect sensitive information, and optimise data utilisation to support operational and productivity improvements.
The power of Microsoft 365 Copilot goes far beyond making easy work of traditional tasks. Robust AI integration, advanced customisation and extensibility features allow its capabilities to be extended to meet specific and unique business needs.
Copilot can drive quantum gains from existing Microsoft investments. Businesses will look to their IT partners for guidance. Crayon ensures you’re ready to respond.
For CSP partners, Copilot serves as a pathway to explore new commercial service offerings. There is significant opportunity for partners to provide immediate value through tailored implementation, training and change management services.
Some customers may be ready to license immediately. Others will need their partners to guide the groundwork for successful adoption and use of Copilot for Microsoft 365.
Considerations include:
Our partners know we’re great at supporting their cloud licensing requirements. That expertise is combined with nearly a decade worth of frontline, hands on AI solution development.
Crayon is an Azure OpenAI Global Strategic Partner with two Data and AI Centers of Excellence (COEs), including one in Singapore.
We are the only services company with cloud distribution capabilities for the APAC channel to have over 300 applied AI projects in market. This includes more than 2,500 models running on a proprietary accelerated MLOps framework.
Our advanced in-house expertise supports accelerated learning for the APAC channel team. Our full stack perspective ensures that partners receive in-depth, strategic enablement that positions them to secure immediate opportunities and enjoy long-term growth in the age of AI.
Partners can engage our channel team to organise on-site or virtual workshops, facilitate information sessions with their customers, and to discuss ongoing SureStep training and enablement.
