Phoenix Software is excited to announce our significant investment in Copilot for Microsoft 365, reinforcing our strategic relationship with Microsoft and driving efficiencies across 100% of our Sales and Marketing Teams, as well as other departments. This initiative will empower our employees and customers throughout the UK public and private sectors.

Unleashing the power of Copilot for Microsoft 365

The integration of Copilot for Microsoft 365 into Phoenix’s operations is designed to streamline workflows, improve collaboration, and drive innovation. This investment reflects our commitment to utilising cutting-edge AI technologies to optimise performance and deliver superior service to our customers.

Below are just some of the key benefits that we are already seeing as a result of utilising Copilot for Microsoft 365:

  • Meeting preparation: Copilot has assisted across the business in preparing for presentations and customer meetings by providing relevant information, talking points, and relevant agendas based on previous sessions. It also recaps key points from previous meetings to follow up with and captures next steps to share post-meeting.
  • Email support: Copilot has helped teams by offering email reply options, helping them write messages, and supporting with prompt follow ups. This has saved countless hours and enhanced the efficiency of email communications across the Group – both internally and externally.
  • Data analysis and reporting: Copilot is being used to analyse data to identify patterns, trends, and insights that can inform strategy and decision-making. It has generated reports, charts, and visualisations to communicate key findings ready to action.
  • Collaboration and project management: Copilot has streamlined collaboration among teams by facilitating document sharing, task assignment, and project management within Microsoft 365 applications like Teams and SharePoint. It helps teams stay organised and aligned on goals and deadlines.
  • Content creation: Copilot has supported in the generation of content ideas, headlines, and even drafted marketing copy for various channels such as social media, blogs, or marketing materials. It has provided suggestions based on trending topics, audience preferences, and industry trends.

Clare Metcalfe, Managing Director of Phoenix Software, states, “Our investment in Copilot for Microsoft 365 is a testament to our commitment to innovation and excellence. By empowering our teams with cutting-edge AI tools, we are enhancing our ability to serve our customers more effectively and drive significant efficiencies within our organisation.”
