Microsoft 365 Copilot, now known as Copilot for Microsoft 365, has garnered significant attention in the business world with its promise of boosting office productivity. Since its launch last November, organizations have shown great interest in this generative AI assistant.
Despite the initial excitement, many companies have only conducted small trials of Microsoft 365 Copilot due to concerns about data security and uncertainty about its value. According to Max Goss, a director analyst at Gartner, while organizations are eager to try out the tool, they are hesitant to implement it on a larger scale.
A recent survey by Gartner revealed that 60% of IT leaders from various-sized companies have initiated pilot projects for Microsoft 365 Copilot. However, only a small percentage have completed these pilots and are planning extensive deployments. The majority of respondents intend to transition from pilot projects to small-scale deployments later this year or in 2025.
Goss emphasized that while there is enthusiasm for using Microsoft 365 Copilot, organizations struggle with understanding how best to utilize it effectively. This challenge has hindered widespread deployment of the tool.
