Presenting Our Customer Zero Experience at the Microsoft 365 Community Conference
Engaging with Microsoft Experts
Microsoft invites customers and representatives from Fortune 500 companies to engage with its Digital team via virtual discussions. This initiative allows participants to learn directly from experts about their experiences and insights regarding Microsoft 365 Copilot.
Insights from the Microsoft 365 Copilot Deployment
The Microsoft Digital team has successfully led the rollout of Microsoft 365 Copilot, impacting over 300,000 employees and contractors. Stephan Kerametlian, who manages business programs, has been at the forefront of this initiative. His focus is on integrating Copilot into everyday use within the organization. In an upcoming fireside chat at the Microsoft 365 Community Conference, he will share the journey of deploying Copilot alongside Karuana Gatimu, a director in the Microsoft 365 Customer Advocacy team.
“Our employees have absolutely been loving Copilot,” Kerametlian states. “We have been focused on building daily habits with Copilot, which have been growing steadily since launch—our people have been responding very well once we show them what they can do with Copilot.”
