About this Event
New Copilot capabilities. New ways of working with Copilot Chat + Cowork. New AI models. New licensing options...plus...New ways of consuming and paying for AI.
On 20 November, Maxsum and SoftwareOne are bringing clients and business leaders together at Microsoft Melbourne for a practical, demonstration-led session on Microsoft 365 Copilot + Cowork.
Here's what's on the agenda!
- All the latest updates to M365 Copilot (including the new-look !)
- What M365 Copilot features + agents to use for which tasks?
- Which AI models to choose and when?
- Copilot v Cowork or Copilot + Cowork ?
- What's "covered" by your license?
- How many "credits" will Cowork tasks consume? How much is that?
We will be in live-demo mode, taking questions directly from the floor and testing your prompts and ours across the various features, modes and models and making real cost comparisons!
Need more detail? Here are the learnings you'll take back to your team!
- What's new across Microsoft 365 Copilot
- Copilot and Cowork side by side, with examples of when you might choose one approach over another
- Licensing versus consumption, and why understanding the difference matters
- Live examples comparing consumption, so you can see how the way you approach an AI task can influence what it consumes
- GPT and Claude models within Copilot, and how model choice can influence the way you approach different types of work
- Practical demonstrations showing different ways of getting the same or similar work done
- Real-world use cases across industries, drawing on scenarios we're seeing through Maxsum's client engagements
- Practical considerations for managing AI cost and value as adoption grows across an organisation
If you're responsible for deciding where AI, Copilot and Cowork fit, how people should use them, and how to keep growing AI usage commercially sustainable, this session is designed for you.
