We’ve got some exciting news… ANS has officially earned the Microsoft Copilot Specialisation!
This badge recognises our proven expertise in deploying and managing Microsoft 365 Copilot, including Copilot Chat, Copilot Studio, and agents.
It places us among a select group of Microsoft partners trusted to help customers unlock the full potential of AI across their organisations.
So, what does this mean for our customers?
This isn’t just about tech credentials. It’s about helping organisations flex their AI muscle, giving every employee an AI assistant to supercharge the way they work.
With 68% of people struggling with the pace and volume of work, and 52% of organisations needing their teams to be more productive, Copilot offers a way to work smarter, not harder.
“Copilot is the first step in helping every employee flex their AI muscle.
It’s not just about productivity… it’s about empowering people to shape how they work.”
Jason Earnshaw, Practice Lead for Copilot & Power Platform
ANS are here to make Copilot rollouts safe, secure, and successful.
Our team has the skills to support customers with the governance, security, and compliance needed to deploy Copilot confidently across their organisation, giving IT and security teams peace of mind.
We also know that Copilot is about people, not just platforms. It’s about infusing AI into everyday tasks to improve the speed and quality of outputs. That’s why Change Management is a key part of this specialisation, and a core focus for us at ANS.
We help organisations navigate the cultural shift that comes with AI adoption, ensuring teams are supported and empowered every step of the way.
This milestone also ties into our broader AI strategy – what we call the ANS swoosh.
From Power Platform and Azure Foundry to data services, we’ve got specialisations across the board to support customers at every stage of their AI journey. These platforms form the backbone of Microsoft’s Agent Platform, and we’re proud to be helping customers build on it with confidence.
“It’s so rewarding to know that ANS are one of only a handful of partners who currently have the Copilot specialisation.
I personally can’t wait to get out there and bring the joys and possibilities of AI to more customers.”
Vicki Holman, Ecosystem Architect at ANS
Internally, we’re trialling all the latest Copilot capabilities released by Microsoft, from Microsoft 365 Copilot features to emerging agents like Researcher, Analyst, and Dynamics 365-specific agents.
This hands-on experience helps us stay ahead of the curve and bring real-world insights to our customers.
And if you’re wondering where to start, our AI and Copilot Navigators are designed to guide you through the wider landscape, from strategy and governance to rollout and adoption.
These structured engagements help you understand what’s required to successfully embed AI into your organisation, tailored to your goals and readiness.
“We saw this shift coming when GenAI first launched, and we pivoted early to meet it head-on.
This specialisation confirms that ANS is all in on helping innovative customers build the foundations for AI success.”
Jason Earnshaw, Practice Lead for Copilot & Power Platform
