Your Staff Are Using AI Every Day!!
Liam Neville – Partnerships & Alliances Manager
What if you had a data movement problem sitting right under your nose and didn't even realise it was happening?
With the volume of AI tools available, partners are being asked daily by their customer how they can have both visibility and control of what their staff are puting into these tools and the results are often scary. Legal Contracts, Board Papers, Balance Sheets etc. The results are endless.
But receiving alerts is one thing. How do you now both manage and educate your staff on best data practice within the workplace? GuardWare will be joining to discuss how their solution addresses this use case at both a data and content level as well as showcasing the recent launch of their MSP offering launched in region.
GitHub Copilot demo
David Nicholls
In this session, David will give a practical, high‑level introduction to using GitHub Copilot to actually get things done as an MSP. He’ll demonstrate how Copilot can be used to rapidly create and refine scripts for common real‑world tasks Microsoft 365 admin jobs without needing to be a professional developer. The focus is on using AI as a productivity accelerator, not a replacement for technical judgment.
We will also look at how it can help MSPs produce better reports across Microsoft 365 and even local file systems. This will be a demo‑driven, approachable talk aimed at getting you comfortable enough to start experimenting straight away, with clear examples you can adopt.
