Implementing Copilot for Microsoft 365

• The center stored numerous documents across SharePoint, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook. These documents were shared with a large group of people. This posed a significant security and privacy risk, as certain documents contained patient records and sensitive information.
• The client struggled to manage outdated, inaccurate, and redundant data within Microsoft 365. This compromised the quality and reliability of information and made it challenging for users to locate and utilize relevant data for their tasks.
• There was a need to enhance document management, security, and data quality while increasing efficiency. Security was paramount and Copilot would be expected to function within a secure and compliant environment that would ensure the safety of sensitive data.

• Improved Document Management and Security: Copilot for Microsoft 365 significantly improved document management, security, data quality, and efficiency.
• Enhanced Content Creation and Editing: Copilot enables users to create and edit documents, emails, and other content quickly and easily. It also helps to find and use information efficiently.
• Generates Relevant Content: Copilot helps users enhance written communication by offering suggestions, feedback, and corrections. It also generates content based on user input, context, and preferences.
• Secured and Governed Copilot Usage: By leveraging Purview, Intune, and Syntex, the client secured and governed Copilot usage and data, ensuring compliance with regulations and standards such as HIPAA, GDPR, and ISO 27001.
• Enables Better Data Classification: Purview, Intune, and Syntex enables the organization to classify, protect, and manage data within Microsoft 365 and other cloud environments, improving search and data discovery.
• Sensitive Information Protection: Intune's selective wipe feature protects sensitive information by removing it from applications if a user left the organization or if their device was lost or stolen.
• Public Kiosk Security: Intune's single-app and multi-app kiosk modes helps protect sensitive information even when accessed from public kiosks.
• Reduced Security and Privacy Risks: By using these tools and features, the client reduced security and privacy risks and improved the accuracy and reliability of information.
