Whether you’re drafting an email, producing images, or writing code, generative AI is redefining productivity in the 21st century. Its adaptation is keeping pace with its output: According to a Gartner report, 55% of organizations are in piloting or production mode with generative AI, with more than half of organizations increasing their generative AI investment over 10 months.
If you’re a Microsoft Dynamics 365 or Power Platform user, you’ve got a front-row seat to the power of generative AI, thanks to Dynamics 365 Copilot and Copilot in Power Platform. Pioneering as the world’s first AI Copilot in both CRM and ERP applications, Dynamics 365 Copilot fuses Microsoft data with large language models (LLM) to accelerate business transformation.
Copilot (and AI in general) is quickly becoming a collaboration and business productivity mainstay–but does require some guardrails. As a best practice, this emerging technology should be accompanied by a data protection solution that can amplify its utility–as opposed to its mistakes.
Let’s look at how Own can support your Microsoft Copilot initiatives, helping you both protect and activate your data.
Integrate with Confidence
Adopting and utilizing Copilot marks an exciting transition for your organization. By speeding up mundane tasks at scale, quickly, and more easily, your important objectives are within reach in an accelerated time frame. Sounds like a win-win, doesn’t it? While this technological milestone is usually met with anticipation, it can also be met with trepidation; many organizations worry that integrating this relatively new tech across the business can trigger irreversible hiccups.
With Own Recover, you can ensure a seamless generative AI transition. As teams introduce and familiarize Copilot, Recover operates behind the scenes, protecting data and files with secure, automated backups. And if mistakes do happen (which they’re bound to), you can easily restore the right data, down to individual fields and records. This way, you can keep teams’ enthusiasm and experimentation high without putting business continuity at risk.
Innovate Faster
With assisted code generation and script writing at their fingertips, Copilot puts developers on the deployment fast track. But, picking up speed too quickly can spin out of control, impacting your live production environment and business.
Picture this: You’re a Dynamics CRM developer with a high-priority task: To update an existing Sales app that manages customer contacts and sales opportunities for sales. Using Copilot to help write code, you deploy the updated app ahead of schedule to the live production environment. Job well done, right? Not so fast. Shortly after deployment, a panicked sales leader reaches out: Hundreds of customer's contact information, sales opportunities, and transaction records are missing, while others look changed and corrupted. Upon further investigation, you find that the updated app had overwritten key customer information, inadvertently deleting business-critical data. Talk about a deployment to remember…or one you’d like to forget.
Recover empowers innovation throughout the development process. Recover protects deployments with backups that can help restore unwanted data changes. Once the deployment is done, Recover can verify its success by comparing changes to historic data. With full visibility from development to live production, you’ll know what’s happening where, providing insights (and peace of mind) for future tasks and projects.
Look Back While Looking Ahead
Between your data, teams, and processes, your organization is constantly adapting for a forward-first approach. And, with Copilot and generative AI in the mix, it’s easier than ever. But, looking ahead is only one part of the innovation puzzle; having a connection to your SaaS data’s past (and accessibility) impacts its trajectory as much.
So, how can you ensure that your data’s past, present, and future are honored while supporting your Copilot initiatives? Own Recover makes it easy.
With Recover, you have an accessible window into where your data has been. Accessible, comprehensive backups protect data and files, crystalizing a unique data snapshot that you can refer to at any time. In the event of a data loss or corruption, you can granularly restore at the dataset, table, row, or field level with data permissions and relationships intact. This way, you can keep business running as usual, without the incident becoming a defining moment for your organization. And, with proactive alerts and tools, you’ll always be on the protection offensive, ensuring that your data’s future is as bright as your Microsoft innovations.
