Artificial Intelligence is no longer experimental—it’s rapidly reshaping how organisations save time, reduce costs, and improve strategic decision-making. According to McKinsey, companies integrating AI into core processes can unlock transformative cost savings and operational efficiencies. More than 90% of executives expect AI to reduce costs significantly within 18 months, while early adopters are already realising benefits worth billions in value.

AI isn’t just for the giants—SMEs are already seeing productivity gains of up to 133% by using AI for tasks like content creation, scheduling, and customer service automation. Microsoft Copilot Readiness Assessment is just the way to get started

What Does AI Actually Save You?

• McKinsey estimates that generative AI can reduce customer service workload by up to 50%, while increasing sales productivity by 3–5%.

• A recent Rand Group report cites typical enterprise savings of 20% on operational costs, 30% on labour, and 5–10% increase in revenue.

• Microsoft saved over $500 million in 2024 alone, primarily via AI-enhanced support and automated workflows.

What Is AI Readiness—And Why It Matters

AI readiness is more than installing tools—it’s about evaluating your people, data, infrastructure, security, and compliance posture to enable safe, impactful adoption. Microsoft has outlined a strategic approach to assessing AI readiness to ensure businesses maximise value while reducing risks.

One key tool is the Microsoft 365 Copilot Readiness Report, which helps you evaluate:

• How many users are technically eligible.

• Usage patterns for Teams, Outlook, and Office apps.

• Compliance with update channels and licensing.

• “Suggested candidate” users based on activity intensity.

Enter: The NVOY Copilot Readiness Assessment

At NVOY, we’ve developed a Microsoft Copilot Readiness Assessment service to help clients embrace AI with confidence, compliance, and maximum value. Here’s what it includes:

1. Data & Licensing Audit – Verify Microsoft 365 apps usage and license eligibility.

2. Device Update & Security Assessment – Ensure systems meet update channels and MFA/SSO alignment.

3. User Activity Mapping – Identify top candidate users for early rollout based on Teams, Outlook, and Office activity.

4. Governance & Responsible‑AI Workshop – Tailor rollout strategies, data roles, and compliance planning.

5. Roadmap for Pilot & Rollout – Practical timeline, POC plan, adoption strategy, and security controls.

This assessment can save months of internal analysis—giving your business clear direction in days, not weeks.

Business Benefits of Preparing Early

By properly planning your Copilot implementation, you can:

• Minimise risks of data exposure or compliance violations.

• Maximise adoption and ROI by launching with the users most likely to benefit.
