Use Cases

Where AI & Automation Makes the Biggest Difference

Targeted Microsoft Copilot rollout to fee-earners

Leadership wants Copilot ROI, but blanket licensing to every seat is hard to justify.

What we deliver: We identify the roles (sales, finance, legal, exec assistants) where Copilot pays back fastest, run a measured pilot, and scale from proven ROI.

Power Automate for finance approvals

Purchase orders, expenses and supplier onboarding still move by email, chasing signatures and slowing month-end.

What we deliver: We rebuild the approval workflows in Power Automate with audit trails and SLA reporting, faster cycles, fewer exceptions, cleaner books.

Custom AI agent grounded in your SharePoint knowledge

Staff waste hours searching SharePoint and Teams for the right policy, contract clause or product answer.

What we deliver: We build a secure AI agent grounded in your Microsoft Graph and permissions, so answers cite your own content, not the public internet.

AI acceptable-use policy and DLP before broad rollout

You're about to open AI tools to the whole business but haven't landed policy, data classification or admin controls.

What we deliver: We deliver an AI acceptable-use policy, data-loss-prevention rules and admin controls, so staff can use AI confidently and sensitive data stays put.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Microsoft Copilot worth it?+

For the right roles and the right workflows, yes. We help you target the seats that will deliver real ROI before you commit.

How do we stop AI leaking sensitive data?+

We deploy data loss prevention, sensitivity labels and tenant-level controls so your data stays where it should.

Can you build custom AI agents?+

Yes, we build secure, business-specific AI agents on top of your existing Microsoft stack.

How much does Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365 cost?+

Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365 is £24.70 per user per month on an annual commitment, on top of a qualifying Microsoft 365 licence. We advise buying it for specific roles first (sales, finance, legal, exec assistants) rather than rolling it out to every seat on day one.

What is the difference between Microsoft Copilot and ChatGPT for business?+

ChatGPT is a general-purpose assistant with no default access to your company data. Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365 is grounded in your Microsoft Graph — email, files, Teams, calendar — under your existing permissions, so answers cite your own content rather than the public internet.

How do we measure ROI on AI and automation projects?+

We measure hours returned per role, error rates before and after, and cycle time on the target process, converted into a monthly financial saving. A typical Power Automate or Copilot use case pays back in 3 to 6 months when the workflow is chosen well.

Do we need a formal AI policy before rolling out Copilot?+

Yes. Before any wide roll-out we help you land a lightweight AI acceptable-use policy, data classification, and admin controls so staff know what they can and can't do, and sensitive data doesn't end up in the wrong place.

Cloud Agile helps organisations across our service areas identify AI use cases worth pursuing, then deploy Microsoft Copilot and automation securely on top of properly governed data. We put permissions, data handling and acceptable-use policy in place first, pilot with a real team, then measure adoption and return so investment follows evidence rather than hype.
