Microsoft AI consultancy

Why Microsoft AI, and why a specialist

If your business runs on Microsoft 365, the fastest, safest route to real AI value almost always sits inside Microsoft's own stack. Copilot reads the documents you already own, Fabric unifies the data you already have, and Power Platform automates the processes you already know are painful. There's no separate data pipe to build, no new identity system to manage and no new vendor to onboard.

What you do need is someone who knows where the sharp edges are. Microsoft ships new AI features almost weekly - some brilliant, some half-baked, some quietly repriced. A Microsoft AI consultancy exists to tell you which ones matter for your business this quarter and to get them live without breaking what already works.

The Microsoft AI stack we work with

• Microsoft 365 Copilot - AI across Word, Excel, Outlook, Teams and SharePoint. Great for productivity once your data and permissions are in order. See our Microsoft 365 Copilot service.
• Copilot Studio - build purpose-built agents that automate real work, not just answer questions. See Copilot Studio.
• Microsoft Fabric and Power BI - one trusted view of your data so people, and AI, can act on it confidently.
• Power Platform - Power Automate and Power Apps for the process automation that often delivers more ROI than chat AI.
• Azure AI and Azure OpenAI - when you need custom models, embeddings, retrieval-augmented generation or your own data plane.
• Microsoft Purview - the governance layer that keeps sensitive information from ending up in the wrong Copilot answer.

What a Microsoft AI consultancy actually does

Different clients need different things. What most engagements have in common:

• Sizing and licensing. Which Copilot licences do you actually need, and how many? Getting this right saves more money than most projects earn.
• Readiness. Permissions, oversharing, sensitivity labels, data hygiene. This is the unglamorous work that stops Copilot embarrassing you on day one.
• Pilots that measure something. A focused rollout to one team with clear success criteria, so you know whether to scale or stop.
• Agents and automation. Where Copilot chat isn't the answer, Copilot Studio agents or Power Automate flows usually are.
• Adoption. Training, champions, and the two or three habits that actually change how people work.
• Governance. Policies, guardrails and reporting so leadership can prove your AI is safe and paid for.

Who we work with

UK-based SMBs and mid-market organisations, typically 50 to 1,000 people, who already run on Microsoft 365. Professional services, financial services, manufacturing, energy, education and the third sector. If you've bought Copilot licences and aren't sure they're paying back, or you're weighing up whether to buy them at all, we can help.

How we're different from a generalist AI consultancy

A lot of "AI consultancies" will happily sell you a strategy deck built on tools they've never actually deployed. We're the opposite - deep in Microsoft, honest about where it's weak, and unwilling to recommend anything we wouldn't run in our own business.
