Copilot is powerful. But only when it is introduced properly.

Many businesses are already using AI informally. Employees may be experimenting with free AI tools, using AI to summarise documents, generate reports, compare spreadsheets, write emails, or speed up everyday admin.

The challenge is that informal AI use can create real business risks.

Company data may be copied into tools the business does not control. Employees may not understand what information they should and should not share. Leaders may struggle to know whether AI is improving work, creating security concerns, or simply producing faster but lower-quality output.

Microsoft 365 Copilot gives businesses a more controlled, secure and familiar way to bring AI into everyday work. But it still needs to be deployed thoughtfully.

Avrion helps you answer the important questions before you roll it out:

  • Which employees actually need Copilot?
  • Which Microsoft 365 plan do they need?
  • What data will Copilot be able to access?
  • Are your SharePoint, Teams and permission structures ready?
  • How will employees be taught to use it properly?
  • Which business tasks should Copilot support first?
  • How will you measure whether Copilot is delivering value?

Why work with Avrion?

Copilot sits inside the Microsoft world, but successful adoption is not just a Microsoft licence conversation.

Avrion brings together CRM expertise, Microsoft knowledge, workflow automation experience, integration capability and a practical understanding of how businesses actually use technology.

We are not here to simply sell licences and leave you to work it out.

We help you identify where Copilot can be useful, prepare your data and systems, support your users, and explore where AI could create measurable improvements across your business.

Is your business ready for Microsoft 365 Copilot?

Copilot can transform everyday work across Teams, Outlook, Word, Excel and more. But successful adoption starts with the right licences, data access, security and user guidance.

We assess:

  • Licence suitability
    Data and permission readiness
  • Current AI usage risks
  • Team-specific Copilot use cases
  • User adoption and coaching needs
  • Integration and automation opportunities

And provide clear recommendations to help you introduce Copilot securely and effectively.

Is your business ready for Microsoft 365 Copilot?

Whether you are rolling out Copilot 365 for the first time or replacing an existing platform, the right foundations matter.

Before you invest in licences, it is worth understanding whether your organisation is ready.

Ask yourself:

  • Are employees already using free AI tools?
  • Do you know what business data is being uploaded into AI tools?
  • Are your Microsoft 365 permissions well managed?
  • Do you know which employees would benefit most from Copilot?
  • Do you have a plan to train or coach your team?
  • Do you have specific business use cases for AI?
  • Do you know how you will measure ROI?

What do our customers say?

“Avrion is able to grasp a concept quickly and turn it into a deliverable that can make a significant difference to a business. They take the time to understand the requirement, taking concepts and ideas and turning them into tangible benefits to achieve the best outcome possible for the customer. I'd 100% recommend Avrion. It's been a dream working with them. They have helped us at every point in this process. I've worked with people in the past where there's a bit of tension, but with Avrion they always helped to direct our journey, in a way that was working with us as a partner, over anything else.”

Jasmin Dudden – Restore Datashred

“With our workload and team outgrowing our old method of workflow management, we needed a solution. Having worked with Avrion in the past, we asked them to take a look. Dave, Nick and Sam took the time to go through our process with us. It was decided that a ticketing system was required - the guys set up what we required and assisted us whilst we inputted our data and got it going. I think the level of customer service we have received from Avrion is 5 stars.”

Mike Bevan – SPM Instrument UK

“Connolly's Red Mills have been working with Avrion since 2017 with our Maximizer implementation and have found them to be a great company to deal with, projects completed in a timely manner to a high standard.”

David Dewberry – Connolly’s Red Mills

“We found the team at Avrion really understood our needs. It felt like they’d seen it all before, and that gave us confidence from day one. With Maximizer CRM, what it really does is allow us to track that from start to result stage… it’s helped change the mentality of our business.”

Chris Harrison – Heidelberg Materials Contracting

“Working with Avrion has been amazing from start to finish. We use Maximizer as a main system, however we required a bespoke quote tool building for our sales team. From start to finish, the integration of the software and support has been nothing short of phenomenal. Their entire team are very knowledgeable, efficient and nothing is ever too much. We look forward to using Avrion moving forward and continuing a great business relationship.”

Luke Hogg – Knoxford Fabrications

“Data is one of the most valuable assets any business has, but unlocking its true value depends on quality, meaningful analysis, and having the right tools and skills to turn insights into strategy and revenue. Having worked with Avrion, I can say they really do bring the expertise to help businesses make that transformation!”

Catherine Royle – Restore plc

““The reason why I like working with Jon is because he always comes up with a solution. This was a small project but it has a big impact and solves lots of time problems. I can now make updates to the communications that go out myself and don’t need the support of Avrion for this going forward, although they are always on hand if I need help.””

Jane Margetts – Restore Records Management

“At our internal review in 2019 we, as a company, asked if we were doing ourselves justice using Maximizer as our CRM solution or was there something better? We concluded that the price point for the system gives us a budget to develop our own specific customisations that are more beneficial for productivity and efficiency as well. After almost a year of trying unsuccessfully to engage with our existing partner, trying to get them to talk about upgrading and personalising the system, we decided to switch over to Avrion. Avrion had been in conversation with us and once we engaged with them, they immediately gave us something unique. They allowed us to effectively have an off-the-shelf CRM system that we could customise – at affordable rates. Rates that are competitive for SMEs. Once we formed a partnership with Avrion, for the first time in seventeen years we were working with a really engaged partner, which is something unique. Avrion enabled the changes to revolutionise our workflow through small steps that added huge impact. Not many people do that.”

Cole Fellows – The Insurance Network

“Avrion truly understood our business and tailored Dynamics 365 to fit our needs. The phased approach made adoption seamless, and we’re already seeing major time savings. Our internal processes are now streamlined, and we’re well-positioned for future growth. It’s a game-changer for us. Looking back, partnering with Avrion to implement Microsoft Dynamics 365 was one of the best decisions we made. Our operations are now efficient, our team collaborates seamlessly, and we’re equipped to scale our business with confidence. If your company is struggling with inefficiencies like we were, I highly recommend working with Avrion – they’ll make sure you get a solution that truly works for you.”

Raj Mahay – Resin Products

“We were looking for best service provider for our CRM system and we came across with Avrion in 2016 and since then we have never turned back in terms of CRM system. This was our best step to move with Avrion as they understood our requirement quickly with excellent solutions and also within our budget. Working with Avrion is wonderful experience; we never need to approach them for any issues as they are always one step ahead by taking regular follow-ups. They are quick and punctual in terms of completing project. We have undertaken many projects so far and are more than happy to say that their solution is up to the mark. Avrion's people are the greatest asset of the company. I really recommend Avrion not only CRM system but for many other IT solutions as well.”
