About this Event
Microsoft 365 sits at the heart of how many businesses work. AI is opening up new ways to use that environment, from Microsoft Copilot and everyday productivity through to automation and AI agents.
At the same time, businesses are adopting other AI tools such as Claude from Anthropic. This raises questions about how different AI tools fit alongside Microsoft 365 and your wider technology stack, which tools suit different tasks, and how your existing Microsoft environment can support secure AI adoption.
In this session, we'll explain the different ways businesses can use AI, show some of the possibilities, and share our recommendations for getting started. We'll look at AI through the three A's: augmentation, automation and agentic, progressing from individual productivity through to more advanced business processes.
Who is this event for?
This event is for business and technology decision-makers who want to understand how AI could be used within their organisation.
It will be particularly useful if you’re responsible for IT, technology, operations, business strategy or AI adoption, whether you’re already using AI or are still working out where to start.

From augmentation to automation and agents
We'll discuss the three A's and some of the possibilities for using AI in your business.

We'll also show AI in action, with examples of how we and our customers have been using AI to date.
