Our Chief Revenue Officer, Chris Ruscio and I recently had the opportunity to attend the Microsoft SMB Boot Camp in Philadelphia, a two-day event designed to help small and medium-sized businesses leverage the power of Microsoft technologies and solutions. We learned a lot from the sessions, workshops, and networking opportunities and returned with some valuable insights and tips.

The Microsoft SMB Boot Camp is an annual event that brings together Microsoft experts and partners to showcase the latest innovations and best practices for small and medium-sized businesses. This is one way Microsoft invests in our partnership. The event covered cloud computing, cybersecurity, productivity, collaboration, marketing, and sales topics, and offers hands-on demos, interactive workshops, and one-on-one consultations. The goal is to arm Synergy to help our clients grow their business, improve their efficiency, and enhance their customer experience with Microsoft solutions.

What did we learn at the Microsoft SMB Boot Camp?

We attended several sessions and workshops relevant to our client’s business needs and goals. Here are some of the key takeaways and benefits that we gained from the event:

• Advanced Security with Microsoft Copilot
  One of the most exciting sessions was about Microsoft Copilot, an AI-driven tool designed to enhance productivity and collaboration. Unlike other public AI tools - Copilot is built from the ground up to be secure and to not leak proprietary company data. This is particularly important in light of recent incidents where information was leaked to AI tools. Microsoft Copilot ensures that your data remains confidential and protected within the Microsoft ecosystem.

• Importance of Regular Policy Reviews
  Modern companies need to regularly review their data-sharing policies to help mitigate risks from oversharing. In this session, experts emphasized the dangers of unregulated data distribution and explained how implementing regular policy reviews can help businesses stay compliant with regulations and safeguard sensitive information.
  
  
• Immediate Benefits of Adopting Microsoft Copilot
  The time to start looking into Copilot is now. The return on investment (ROI) for adopting this AI technology is substantial, with immediate benefits in efficiency and productivity. Based on our experience, we know the best approach to Copilot implementation begins with structuring your data properly.
