An executive brief on how AI boosts employee experience, streamlines processes, and accelerates innovation - securely. See expected outcomes, the Microsoft stack behind them, and how Wanstor turns strategy into a KPI‑anchored plan with quick wins.
Turn AI ambition into measurable business value
Wanstor helps you apply AI and Microsoft Copilot where they can make a real difference, improving productivity, automating work and creating better ways of operating, with the foundations needed to scale confidently.
Is your organisation ready for AI and Microsoft Copilot?
AI adoption can move quickly. Your organisation’s data, permissions and governance need to keep pace.
Microsoft Copilot works with the information people already have permission to access. That makes existing permissions, sharing practices and content ownership increasingly important as organisations introduce AI. Wanstor’s AI Readiness service specifically reviews permissions and oversharing, SharePoint setup and ownership, and Microsoft 365 licensing/Copilot readiness.
For senior leaders, there are some important questions:
- Who can access sensitive business information today?
- Where could oversharing create unnecessary exposure?
- Is SharePoint structured and owned properly?
- Do you know who is accountable for important content?
- Does your Microsoft 365 licensing support your Copilot plans?
- What needs attention before you expand AI adoption?
AI Readiness gives you the answers and a prioritised route forward.
Start with the AI Readiness
The Wanstor AI Readiness Assessment gives you a clear view of the Microsoft 365 foundations that could affect successful Copilot adoption. It uses a standardised assessment method, including scripted scans and a structured report, to identify issues and prioritise what needs attention.
Understand permissions and oversharing
Review who can see what across the environment, including risky sharing links and inherited permissions.
The outcome: clearer visibility of where information may be more widely accessible than intended.
Review SharePoint setup and ownership
Assess sites, libraries, content and accountable ownership across your SharePoint environment.
The outcome: a clearer picture of the information environment Copilot will work across.
Check licensing and Copilot readiness
Review your current Microsoft 365 licence position and identify actions required to support your plans.
The outcome: clearer priorities and practical next steps to take before or alongside Copilot adoption.
These three areas are the defined scope of Wanstor’s refreshed AI Readiness proposition.

AI and Microsoft Copilot FAQs
What is an AI Readiness Assessment?
The Wanstor AI Readiness Assessment reviews the Microsoft 365 foundations that can affect Copilot adoption. It covers permissions and oversharing, SharePoint setup and ownership, and Microsoft 365 licensing/Copilot readiness, producing prioritised recommendations for what needs attention.
How much does Wanstor AI Readiness cost?
There are two options:
Lite: £3,500, including the readiness report.
Standard: £5,000, including the readiness report and findings readout.
What does AI Readiness check?
Wanstor reviews permissions and oversharing, SharePoint sites, libraries and content ownership, and the organisation’s current Microsoft 365 licence position and Copilot readiness.
Do we need AI Readiness before using Microsoft Copilot?
AI Readiness is particularly relevant where an organisation wants to introduce Copilot but hasn’t recently reviewed data exposure, content ownership or licensing. The internal Wanstor guidance also makes clear that an organisation with a verified mature and governed environment may have a different entry point.
What happens after an AI Readiness Assessment?
The findings establish the priorities.
Where gaps are identified, next steps can include remediation and governance work, security improvements or AI Enablement. The Wanstor customer journey positions AI Readiness ahead of any required security/remediation and subsequent AI Enablement for a typical Copilot-first customer.
How does Wanstor support Microsoft Copilot adoption?
Wanstor’s AI Enablement programme uses a regular cadence of training and clinics, adoption nudges, communications, champions, adoption insights and leadership readouts. Programmes are structured over 3, 6 or 12 months.
How do you make AI adoption secure?
Security begins with understanding what information people can access and how AI is being introduced. Wanstor’s portfolio can then address findings through governed foundations and dedicated AI security services where required.
What other AI and Microsoft Copilot services does Wanstor offer?
Wanstor supports organisations beyond the initial AI Readiness Assessment, with services covering Microsoft 365 Copilot adoption, AI enablement, AI agents and automation, governed AI foundations, AI security, and AI and automation development. The right combination depends on your current level of readiness, the outcomes you want to achieve and the AI capabilities you plan to introduce.
