AI Built Into the Tools You Already Use
Microsoft Copilot brings generative AI directly into Microsoft 365. Instead of switching to a separate tool, your team gets an AI assistant inside the apps they use every day – drafting in Word, building formulas in Excel, catching up on Teams meetings, and clearing the inbox in Outlook.
Because it works within your existing Microsoft environment and permissions, Copilot is often the safest, simplest way for a business to start using AI for real.
















Why Businesses Are Adopting Copilot
Copilot gives every employee a capable assistant – summarising, drafting, analysing and researching in seconds. It removes hours of routine work each week and helps people produce better output faster, without learning a new system.
EBS helps you cut through the licensing and security questions, roll Copilot out to the right people, and make sure your team actually adopts it.

- Tenant readiness and prerequisites checked
- Phased, targeted rollout
Security & Governance

- Reduce over-sharing before you switch it on
- Aligned with your cyber security and compliance

Having worked with EBS for many years for our Sage 200 implementation and ongoing support, we have now migrated our Managed Services and IT Support to them. We are really pleased with the service we receive from them. The Team are always helpful, knowledgeable and approachable. The most recent project was moving to EBS Cloud, the transition was smooth and has been fundamental to our flexible working and ongoing business plans.Read more... -

Although our procedures are relatively complex, EBS Consultants took the time to understand our business processes and full requirements. They had a good grasp on the “step by step” list of tasks in each scenario that needed to be carried out and at each stage; in preparation for Go live. Their knowledge and experience of industry standards and the software’s capabilities left us with confidence they could deliver a product and problem solve any minor issues as they arose. adapting to changes in our decisions throughout the test phase. The hand holding throughout; and the training for our staff was excellent, the procedures set out are now easily accomplished by all from shop floor up-to management level I would have no hesitation in recommending EBS Consultants for a stress-free install; we are now looking forward to a smooth transition on to our live data very shortly. Well done guys and thank youRead more... -

EBS were flexible to allow us to meet all our deadlines. When there were challenges getting lines into the new building because of pandemic delays with Open Reach EBS put in a 4G temporary solution to allow the training and installation of Sage 200 to take place. The project was very well run by the whole EBS team. EBS spotted the challenges around Sage 50 and could see how its limitations might hinder our companies growth plans. We were happy with Sage so they recommended Sage 200 with Manufacturing to ensure we had the tools and systems in place for our future.Read more... -

The HaTS department have been excellent since my time at Agriline Products Ltd. We are a fast moving company who literally cannot afford for our systems to be down for 10 minutes. If they were, then orders would stop coming in via phone and website, and our warehouse would lose time to get orders out the door. When you can be dispatching up to 500 orders per day, then every minute counts. The Hardware department have ensured we can maintain our critical same day despatch policy, all thanks to the Pro-Active support package.Read more... -

Since our first dealings with EBS we have always received outstanding support with hardware and software which other companies fail to provide. EBS is a go to company for any business that wants to invest in growing their own business rather than worrying about their I.T. infrastructure. Dealing with EBS ensures there is a no blame game between software or hardware companies as they deal with it all from the moment you pick the phone up to them, there are not many companies out there today that provide this service. When we originally went with EBS it was with this in mind and the service received has been impeccable. They are a very versatile and dynamic business and not just there to sell but to advise on streamlining our processes and offer the best solutions to an ever-changing company. This is a company that employs knowledge and with this they give excellent advice on all the products and services they provide. This is why after 26 years we still remain a loyal customer as they have proved to be a loyal supplier. EBS to NERO is a “One stop I.T. company”Read more... -

EBS have been great in developing our system, and making us feel much more secure in terms of our IT landscape, from many system efficiencies they have helped us implement to hardware improvements which have sped up our systems allowing our staff to use their time more wisely. The regular catch ups we have really make us feel like we are a valued customer and that we are in safe hands as there has always been progress.

Microsoft Copilot:
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Microsoft Copilot for business.
What exactly is Microsoft Copilot?
It’s Microsoft’s AI assistant built into Microsoft 365. It works inside Word, Excel, Outlook, Teams and more to draft, summarise, analyse and answer questions – grounded in your own work content, with enterprise data protection.
Is our data safe with Copilot?
Copilot uses your existing Microsoft 365 permissions and doesn’t use your business data to train public models. The catch is that it surfaces anything a user already has access to – so EBS reviews and tightens your permissions and sharing first.
Do we need special licences?
Yes – Copilot requires specific Microsoft 365 licensing and some prerequisites. We’ll confirm what you need, make sure your tenant is ready, and help you licence only the people who’ll benefit, to keep costs sensible.
Will our team actually use it?
They will with the right support. Adoption is where most Copilot rollouts succeed or stall, so we provide practical training, prompt guidance and use cases per team, plus ongoing support to embed it in daily work.
How do we get started?
Start with a short readiness and value review. Get in touch and we’ll assess your Microsoft 365 setup, recommend the right approach and pilot Copilot with a focused group.
