Humans are naturally driven to dream, create, and innovate. We all strive to do work that brings us fulfillment — whether it’s writing a novel, making new discoveries, building strong communities, or caring for others. The desire to connect with the core of our work is in all of us. However, today’s work environment often bogs us down with repetitive tasks that drain our time, creativity, and energy. To truly connect with the heart of our work, we don’t just need to improve existing processes; we need an entirely new approach.
At Storata, we are introducing that new way of working. With the integration of cutting-edge AI into your business, we bring you powerful tools like Microsoft 365 Copilot — your personal assistant at work. It combines the power of large language models (LLMs) with your data in Microsoft Graph and the Microsoft 365 apps, transforming your words into an extraordinary productivity engine.
“By fundamentally changing how we interact with technology, we are opening the door to a new era of productivity,” said Satya Nadella, Chairman and CEO of Microsoft. “With our copilot for work, we’re empowering individuals to take control and simplifying technology through the most intuitive interface — natural language.”
Microsoft 365 Copilot works seamlessly within the apps you use daily — Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, and more — allowing you to unlock creativity, enhance efficiency, and sharpen your skills. We’re also introducing Business Chat, which leverages LLMs, Microsoft 365 apps, and your data across calendars, emails, documents, meetings, and contacts. It allows you to complete tasks that once seemed impossible. For example, you can simply ask, “Update my team on the revised product plan,” and it will create a status update from the latest meeting notes, emails, and chats.
With Copilot, you’re always in control — you decide what to keep, edit, or remove. It enhances creativity in Word, deepens analysis in Excel, amplifies impact in PowerPoint, keeps you organized in Outlook, and boosts collaboration in Teams.
Storata is here to help your business embrace this transformation, so you can reconnect with the work that truly matters.
Ignite Creativity with Storata’s Microsoft 365 Copilot Integration
With Copilot in Word, creativity flows effortlessly, ensuring you’re never left staring at a blank page. Copilot jumpstarts your writing process by providing a first draft, streamlining hours of writing, research, and revision. Sometimes it nails the tone perfectly; other times, it might need refining — but it always moves your ideas forward. You stay in control, crafting your unique vision while guiding Copilot to summarize, rephrase, or give feedback. In PowerPoint, Copilot enables you to design captivating presentations from a single prompt, instantly pulling in relevant content from past documents. And in Excel, Copilot allows you to analyze data and generate polished visualizations within moments, transforming raw data into insights.
Boost Productivity with Storata’s Automation Solutions
We all aim to dedicate more time to the work that truly matters, yet often get bogged down by repetitive tasks. With Copilot, Storata helps reduce that burden. In Outlook, Copilot summarizes lengthy email threads and drafts quick responses, allowing you to manage your inbox in minutes. Meetings are more efficient in Teams, with Copilot capturing key discussion points, tracking who said what, highlighting agreements or disagreements, and suggesting follow-ups in real-time. Additionally, in Power Platform, Copilot lets anyone automate routine tasks, build chatbots, and bring ideas to life as functional apps in minutes.
GitHub data shows Copilot’s impact on productivity: 88% of developers report higher productivity, 74% say they can focus more on meaningful work, and 77% spend less time searching for information. Copilot doesn’t just enhance individual productivity — it establishes a new framework for organizational knowledge. Business Chat integrates all business data and applications, surfacing insights that save time and connect knowledge across your organization. Access Business Chat directly via Microsoft365.com, Bing, or Teams.
Enhance Your Skills with Storata’s Intuitive Tools
Copilot helps you expand your expertise and rapidly acquire new knowledge. Most users only tap into a fraction of Microsoft 365’s capabilities — but now, with simple natural language, the full potential is at your fingertips. This is only the beginning.
Storata is here to empower your organization with Copilot, transforming how people and AI work together. Like any new tool, there’s a learning curve, but embracing this innovative approach will give you an undeniable edge in today’s fast-paced workplace.

Storata Brings Enterprise-Ready AI with Microsoft 365 Copilot Integration
Storata offers businesses the advanced capabilities of Microsoft’s Copilot System, going beyond simply integrating OpenAI’s ChatGPT into Microsoft 365. Copilot acts as a sophisticated processing engine, connecting the power of large language models (LLMs), like GPT-4, with Microsoft 365 applications and your unique business data through Microsoft Graph — all accessible through natural language commands.
Harnessing Your Business Data
LLMs are highly trained on extensive datasets, yet the key to real workplace productivity lies in connecting these models directly to your business data — securely, compliantly, and with privacy as a priority. Microsoft 365 Copilot, available through Storata, provides real-time access to content and context within Microsoft Graph. This means it can generate responses based on your internal business materials, including documents, emails, meetings, and more, while considering current work contexts, like recent meetings or email exchanges. This enables Copilot to deliver accurate, relevant responses tailored to your needs.
Built on a Foundation of Security, Compliance, and Privacy
With Storata’s Microsoft 365 Copilot, security, compliance, and privacy are at the core. Copilot is seamlessly integrated into Microsoft 365, automatically aligning with your organization’s security, compliance, and privacy standards, including two-factor authentication, compliance boundaries, and privacy controls, making it a dependable AI partner for your business.
Protecting Data at All Levels
Understanding data security concerns, Storata’s integration ensures that Copilot LLMs are not trained on your tenant data or prompts. Within each tenant, Copilot follows a robust permission model that ensures data security and prevents any cross-group leakage. Copilot displays only the information you have access to, using the same secure technologies Microsoft has relied on for years to protect data.
Embedded in the Tools You Use Daily
Microsoft 365 Copilot, available through Storata, is fully integrated into the Microsoft 365 applications millions rely on daily — like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, and more. Its cohesive design ensures that whether you’re using it in Teams or Outlook, the user experience remains consistent and intuitive, featuring a unified design for prompts, enhancements, and commands.
Built to Learn and Adapt to New Skills
Microsoft 365 Copilot’s core functionality redefines productivity by generating, summarizing, analyzing, collaborating, and automating using your unique business content and context. It’s also capable of executing commands within apps (e.g., “animate this slide”) and working across applications, such as converting a Word document into a PowerPoint presentation. Additionally, Copilot is designed to learn new capabilities. For example, through Viva Sales, it can connect to CRM systems, retrieving customer data for interactions. As it gains knowledge of new processes, Copilot will be able to handle increasingly complex tasks, helping your organization stay at the forefront of productivity.
At Storata, our approach is guided by AI principles and a Responsible AI Standard, built on decades of research in AI, grounded practices, and privacy-focused machine learning. A diverse team of researchers, engineers, and policy specialists assesses our AI systems for potential risks and mitigation strategies. This involves refining training data, filtering to reduce harmful content, blocking sensitive queries and results, and utilising Microsoft technologies like InterpretML and Fairlearn to identify and address data bias. We ensure transparency in how decisions are made by outlining limitations, providing source links, and encouraging users to review, fact-check, and adjust content based on their expertise.
In the coming months, we will be integrating Copilot into all our productivity applications — including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, Viva, Power Platform, and more. We will provide further details on pricing and licensing shortly. Earlier this month, we unveiled Dynamics 365 Copilot as the world’s first AI Copilot for both CRM and ERP, delivering next-generation AI to every aspect of business.
Everyone deserves to experience purpose and fulfilment in their work — and Microsoft 365 Copilot can facilitate that. To address the unfulfilled needs of our customers, we must act swiftly and responsibly, learning along the way. We’re currently piloting Copilot with a select group of customers to gather feedback and enhance our models as we expand, with plans to reach more users soon.

All the essential information to prepare your organisation for successful implementation of Microsoft 365 Copilot.
Close to 70% of Microsoft 365 Copilot users are already experiencing increased productivity and improved work quality – is your team prepared to do the same?

Generative AI models require extensive data to learn and produce reliable predictions. The accuracy of their output hinges on the quality of the training data. When data is scattered, disorganised, or filled with errors, the algorithms are likely to generate inaccurate results, resulting in flawed decision-making and unsatisfactory business outcomes. Therefore, it is vital to ensure your data is well-prepared before inputting it into an AI system like Microsoft 365 Copilot.
Data security is a major concern and a potential drawback linked to generative AI tools, as revealed by a recent Deloitte study. Many organisations tend to focus on defending against external threats; however, internal risks often deserve more attention. Alarmingly, 60% of organisations that encountered an AI security or privacy incident found that data was compromised by an internal party. This highlights the necessity of combining data security with robust permission management when implementing AI.
In the long run, relying on manual scaling for Microsoft 365 Copilot proves to be neither sustainable nor cost-effective, especially as organisations increasingly adopt AI. Businesses are already generating more data than ever, with the global volume of digital information doubling every two years. When you begin to utilise AI tools like Microsoft 365 Copilot, expect an even greater surge in data generation. The critical question is: how can you manage and govern this data effectively to ensure accuracy, security, and compliance?
