Adoption Risks

Why Copilot Requires Preparation Before License Activation

Purchasing Copilot licenses without governance exposes sensitive internal data and leads to low employee usage.

Internal Data Oversharing

If SharePoint permissions are loose, any employee can prompt Copilot to surface executive salaries, partner contracts, or confidential HR records.

Blank-Prompt Paralysis

Without role-specific prompt coaching, staff treat AI like a search engine, receive generic answers, and abandon the tool while license fees recur.

Outdated & Duplicate Files

Cluttered cloud folders cause Copilot to draft client documents using superseded rate cards, obsolete templates, and draft spreadsheets.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything You Need to Know About M365 Copilot

Direct answers to licensing, data privacy, and rollout strategy questions.

What are the licensing prerequisites for Microsoft 365 Copilot?

To assign a Microsoft 365 Copilot license, users must have a base subscription of Microsoft 365 Business Basic, Business Standard, Business Premium, Office 365 E3/E5, or Microsoft 365 E3/E5. Microsoft removed the previous 300-seat minimum, allowing businesses to purchase even a single Copilot add-on seat.

How much does the Microsoft 365 Copilot license cost?

Microsoft 365 Copilot is an optional add-on priced at ₹2,499 per user per month (billed annually, GST extra) or equivalent prevailing Microsoft published rates. SmartSoft provides official partner invoicing, volume assistance, and deployment support.

Will Copilot show employees payroll or sensitive executive documents?

Copilot only accesses documents that an individual user already has permission to open. However, if your SharePoint tenant has misconfigured permissions (e.g. payroll spreadsheets stored in public company folders), Copilot can surface them. That is why SmartSoft's Permission Hygiene audit is an essential step before rollout.

Does our company data train public AI models?

No. Microsoft 365 Copilot operates under Enterprise Data Protection (EDP). Your prompts, retrieved documents, and generated responses stay strictly inside your organization's Microsoft 365 tenant and are never used to train OpenAI or Microsoft public AI models.
