TCS' Copilot for Microsoft 365 Extensibility - 4 Weeks - Implementation

Microsoft 365 Copilot has opened the doors to truly transformative technology. It has the power to automate the mundane, streamline the complex, nurture innovation, reimagine the workplace, and revolutionize productivity. TCS advocates that enterprises adopt a streamlined and accelerated approach to harness the tool’s full potential. We recommend establishing a robust AI foundation, setting up responsible AI for specific use cases, assessing efficiency of work powered by Copilot for Microsoft 365, and thereafter, enhancing experiences and business outcomes with plugins and add-ons.

Execution Approach
Microsoft 365 Copilot provides extensibility frameworks to enable external data and actions within native experiences. This helps enterprises in executing advanced Generative AI scenarios in rapid timelines. TCS recommends the following 4-step approach for adopting third-party plug-ins and add-ons to build contextual experiences at a faster pace:
Engage(Day 1): Involve IT and business stakeholders to envisage extension frameworks and plug-ins that enhance the overall experience and features of Microsoft 365 Copilot.
Ideate (Week 1): Conduct ideation workshops for advanced use cases considering business imperatives, goals, and opportunities.
Build (Week 2,3): Identify common Line of Business systems that can leverage Copilot and build integration connectors to enable Copilot to use enterprise data, thereby enhancing your AI experience to the fullest.
Prototype (Week 4+): MVP with rapid prototyping to realize the extended experience and design feasibility in line with established architecture principles.

What TCS brings
TCS has a range of plug-ins that can help broaden Copilot’s capabilities. Spanning from providing contextual enterprise search experiences and integrating diverse systems and services, to finally initiating data-driven actions, our plug-ins and add-ons will help bridge the last-mile gap between Copilot and other third-party tools and services, thereby unlocking the true potential of Copilot.
