Many organisations have already taken their first steps into AI by exploring Copilot Chat - using secure, enterprise-ready AI to ask questions, generate content and accelerate everyday tasks. For many, this has been a valuable and low‑risk way to start experimenting with AI in the workplace. However, as adoption grows, a common question emerges: what comes next, and is a full Microsoft 365 Copilot licence really necessary?
While Copilot Chat provides a powerful entry point, Microsoft 365 Copilot unlocks a deeper, more contextual experience by bringing AI directly into the apps people use every day - including Teams, Outlook, Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Understanding the difference between these experiences, how licensing works, and where the real value lies can be confusing, particularly for organisations trying to balance productivity gains with cost, security and governance.
Join Bechtle, in partnership with Microsoft, for an exclusive customer session designed specifically for organisations already experimenting with Copilot Chat and looking to gain clarity on the next stage of their AI journey. This session will help you understand how Copilot Chat fits into the wider Microsoft 365 Copilot landscape, what additional capabilities a full licence delivers, and how to determine whether - and when - it makes sense for your organisation.
Designed to be practical, informative and relevant, this session will support you in making confident, informed decisions about your Copilot roadmap.
