AI is moving fast, but for many businesses, Microsoft Copilot costs are growing faster than expected.

The reason why costs are silently growing is because licenses are being assigned without clear visibility into:
• who actually needs it
• who’s using it
• and whether it’s creating real business value

We’re also seeing businesses unintentionally expose sensitive company data through poorly structured SharePoint environments once AI gets introduced.

Our latest article breaks down:
✔ Hidden Copilot licensing costs
✔ Common AI rollout mistakes
✔ Data exposure risks
✔ How BC businesses can reduce waste before costs pile up

If your business is implementing AI this year, this is an important read.

AI was everywhere at Web Summit this year.

From AI coworkers to automation and productivity, every major session was packed with businesses trying to understand how AI will shape the future of work.

But we noticed something important... there wasn’t much discussion around how BC businesses can implement AI securely and effectively without creating new risks.

We shared our biggest takeaways from Web Summit and what local businesses should actually be paying attention to as AI adoption continues to grow.

When was the last time your backups were actually tested?

Not reviewed.
Not assumed.
Tested.

Because when something goes wrong, backups aren’t a theory, they’re your last line of defense.

And if they’re not set up properly, the impact is real:
❌ Data that can’t be recovered
❌ Days (or weeks) of downtime
❌ Expensive recovery efforts

We’ve seen businesses recover quickly from ransomware and outages…
but only because their backups actually worked.

Most companies don’t realize there’s a gap until they need it.

💾 Not 100% confident in your backups?

Send us a message, or leave a comment, we’re happy to take a quick look.

We love hearing this from our clients 🙌

We genuinely care about the businesses we support, and we’re focused on making sure technology makes your day easier, not harder.

Thank you for the kind words!

Trade your commute for something a little more interesting 👀

We’re giving away a $20,000 African safari, and it starts with a quick introduction to a business.

Most companies don’t go looking for a new IT partner. It usually starts with frustration. Slow response times, tickets that drag on, and issues that never seem fully resolved.

If a business comes to mind, even your own, send them our way.

We’ll take it from there 🦏
