AI Consulting & Automation with Microsoft Copilot
Make AI Work for Your Business.
AI is moving beyond answering questions and generating content. With Microsoft Copilot, Copilot Cowork and AI agents, organizations can access information faster, automate repetitive tasks and streamline everyday operations, freeing employees to focus on higher-value work.
But realizing these benefits takes more than simply introducing new technology.
Success depends on having the right foundations in place: secure data, appropriate access controls, strong data governance, clear business priorities and employees who know how to use AI effectively. Without the right safeguards, AI can unintentionally expose sensitive information or introduce new security risks.
At Present, we help Canadian businesses navigate this evolution, from preparing their Microsoft 365 environment and deploying Copilot to creating AI agents, enabling Cowork and supporting employees as they adopt new ways of working.
Our goal is simple: Make AI practical, secure and valuable for your business.
Where Could AI Make a Difference in Your Business?
Identify practical AI QUICK wins!
You don’t need to transform your entire organization to start benefiting from AI.
Some of the best opportunities are found in the repetitive, time-consuming activities your employees handle every day.
Small improvements can create meaningful results.
A task that takes only a few minutes may not seem significant. But when repeated dozens or hundreds of times each week, those minutes add up.
Present helps you identify the opportunities most likely to deliver value, starting with practical quick wins.
Meetings & Follow-Ups
Prepare agendas, summarize discussions, identify action items and draft follow-up communications.
Documents & Information
Find information, summarize documents, extract relevant details and support reporting activities.
Customer Service
Help employees locate answers, prepare responses and handle common requests more efficiently.
Repetitive Tasks
Identify recurring activities that could be simplified through agents, automation or delegated AI tasks.

AI F.A.Q.
Microsoft Copilot is an AI-powered assistant that helps employees work more efficiently by drafting content, summarizing meetings, analyzing information and answering questions within familiar Microsoft 365 applications like Word, Excel, Outlook and Teams.
AI agents take things a step further. They can be designed to handle specific tasks, automate repetitive processes and carry out multi-step activities with varying levels of autonomy.
The key difference: Copilot helps employees get work done faster, while AI agents can take on tasks and complete them on their behalf.
Together, Microsoft Copilot and AI agents help businesses improve productivity, reduce manual work and free up employees to focus on higher-value activities.
Microsoft Copilot and AI agents can help businesses automate a wide range of everyday tasks, including meeting summaries, follow-up emails, document preparation, data entry, reporting and information retrieval.
AI agents can go further by handling recurring tasks and coordinating multi-step processes, reducing the need for manual intervention.
The best opportunities are often repetitive, time-consuming activities that employees perform regularly. Even small automations can deliver significant time savings when repeated across a team.
The cost of implementing Microsoft Copilot and AI automation depends on your existing Microsoft 365 environment, licensing requirements, security readiness and the complexity of the processes you want to automate.
Some businesses can get started with existing Microsoft capabilities, while others may require additional licensing and security configuration.
At Present, we help businesses identify high-value AI opportunities and develop a practical implementation plan aligned with their needs, priorities and budget.
Implementation timelines depend on your organization’s existing Microsoft 365 environment, security readiness and the complexity of your AI initiatives.
Microsoft Copilot can often be deployed relatively quickly when the right foundations are in place. More advanced AI automation projects may require additional planning, configuration and testing.
At Present, we recommend starting with practical, high-impact opportunities that deliver value quickly, then gradually expand AI capabilities as your business gains experience and confidence.
Absolutely. AI automation isn’t just for large enterprises. Small and medium-sized businesses can benefit significantly by reducing repetitive work, improving efficiency and making better use of their existing resources.
With Microsoft Copilot and AI agents, businesses can automate everyday activities such as data entry, meeting follow-ups, document preparation and reporting.
Even automating a task that takes just a few minutes can generate substantial time savings when it’s repeated frequently.
The key is identifying practical opportunities that deliver measurable business value without unnecessary complexity.
