AI Business FAQs
What are Microsoft AI Business Solutions?
Microsoft AI Business Solutions combine tools such as Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, SharePoint, Teams, and Copilot AI to help organisations work smarter. They enable secure collaboration, automate routine tasks, modernise legacy systems, and integrate data-driven insights — all within a trusted Microsoft environment.
How does Copilot improve productivity?
Copilot uses generative AI to streamline everyday tasks. It can draft documents, summarise meetings, analyse data, and integrate directly with your business systems. Employees spend less time on repetitive work and more time on high-value activities, improving both productivity and decision-making.
What is the best approach to migrate to Microsoft 365?
The best approach depends on your current systems and business requirements. Antares typically starts with a readiness assessment, then applies the most suitable migration method — from “lift and shift” to full modernisation. We focus on minimising disruption, securing your data, and ensuring adoption so your teams are productive from day one.
How do Copilot Extensions work with existing apps?
Copilot Extensions allow you to connect Copilot directly to your internal systems and workflows. For example, you can build plugins that pull data from your CRM, finance system, or HR platform — giving employees AI-powered insights without leaving their Microsoft 365 apps. This ensures AI is tailored to your specific processes, not just generic tasks.
What is the ROI of application modernisation?
Application modernisation reduces maintenance costs, improves security, and enables faster innovation. By moving away from legacy systems, organisations typically see lower IT overheads, improved user satisfaction, and easier integration with modern platforms like Copilot and Microsoft Azure. The long-term ROI comes from agility — being able to respond quickly to new opportunities and scale efficiently.
How secure is Microsoft Teams and SharePoint for sensitive data?
Microsoft Teams and SharePoint are built with enterprise-grade security, including encryption, multi-factor authentication, and advanced compliance features. At Antares, we add governance frameworks that control permissions, manage lifecycle policies, and ensure your sensitive data is always protected. This gives you the confidence to collaborate securely across teams, departments, and external partners.
