Three-Phase Approach
Activation → Integration → Enablement

Phase 1. Activation
Baseline the Tenant & Data Hygiene

‍What we do:

  1. ‍Inventory M365 tenant: OneDrive, SharePoint, Teams, Exchange
  1. Copilot Access Modeling (who can see what, and why)
  1. Validate Purview labels, DLP/retention policies, and sharing settings
  1. Surface “AI-readiness” gaps: broken permissions, obsolete sites, shadow shares

‍Outcomes you’ll see:

  1. ‍Clear view of what Copilot could index and where risk lives
  1. Quick-win remediation plan for high-exposure data
  1. Executive summary with prioritized risks and impact

‍Sample deliverables:

  1. ‍Tenant Hygiene Report & Risk Heatmap
  1. Copilot Access Modeling (who can see what, and why)
  1. Remediation Playbook (7-, 30-, 60-day tasks)

Phase 2. Integration
Turn On, Tune, and Extend

‍What we do:

  1. ‍Configure Copilot services and permissions aligned to least-privilege
  1. Wire Copilot to your governance stack (Purview, Entra ID, Conditional Access)
  1. Stand up role-specific Custom GPTs: HR Assistant, Internet Research Agent, Marketing Copywriter, Virtual Business Analyst
  1. Create prompt libraries, guardrails, and approved workflows

‍Outcomes you’ll see:

  1. ‍Copilot that respects your data boundaries
  1. Role-ready assistants that deliver real work products
  1. Faster, safer adoption with built-in compliance alignment

‍Sample deliverables:

  1. ‍Custom GPTs with curated knowledge sources and policies
  1. Approved Prompt Library (by role & use case)
  1. Integration Runbook & rollback plan

Phase 3. Enablement
Train People, Prove Value

‍What we do:

  1. ‍Live workshops for executives, managers, and frontline contributors
  1. Scenario-based labs: drafting, summarizing, analysis, and decision support
  1. “Redline to Greenline” coaching: turn risky prompts into compliant ones
  1. Change management assets: job aids, micro-videos, office hours

‍Outcomes you’ll see:

  1. ‍AI-safe behavior embedded into everyday work
  1. Productivity lift tied to specific workflows and KPIs
  1. Champions network to sustain adoption and iterate

‍Sample deliverables:

  1. ‍Role-Based Training Paths & Certification Quizzes
  1. Adoption Dashboard (usage, outcomes, and risk trends)
  1. Executive Impact Report (time saved, error reduction, compliance adherence)

How Hypershift Works With Your Stack

Hypershift integrates Copilot with your existing controls and tools, not against them.

We align with Microsoft 365, Purview, Entra ID, and leverage partners like Cisco (network segmentation), Palo Alto Networks (NGFW/Prisma), Okta (identity), Zscaler (secure access), CrowdStrike/SentinelOne (endpoint), Mimecast/Abnormal Security (email security), and Snowflake/Pure Storage (data).

The result: a cohesive, governed AI environment.

“We already pay for Microsoft 365 — why isn’t Copilot delivering?”
‍
Because without data hygiene and role-specific enablement, Copilot is a generalist. We make it a specialist with governed access, custom assistants, and approved workflows.

‍“Isn’t Copilot risky with our sensitive data?”
‍
Risk drops when people know what Copilot can see and how to prompt safely. We combine Purview-aligned policies with training that changes behavior.

‍“Our teams are too busy to learn another tool.”
‍
We embed Copilot into the work they already do (like drafting, summarizing, and analyzing) and measure time saved to prove the ROI quickly.

‍“How do we prevent hallucinations or bad outputs?”
‍
We teach verification patterns, citation discipline, and use curated sources. Prompts and workflows are reviewed and approved for each role.
