Brad Hintze Executive Vice President, Global Customer Success and Marketing, Crestron Spaces that support connection and innovation AI workflows as they relate to meetings, especially in the workplace, will need the right hardware. It’s essential to have outstanding cameras, microphones and speakers to get the full value of those AI investments. But beyond just meetings, we’re working with Microsoft to also ensure the hardware is available and useful to the space even without attendees on a call – so people can just drop in and use a space any time. We’re also offering solutions that help with wayfinding, room scheduling and more. At the end of the day, we have technology platforms that enable continued innovation. Brian Barnes Chief Technology Officer Coretek A proven framework for governance, security and adoption Coretek helps organisations move beyond AI experimentation and into measurable business outcomes by combining Microsoft 365 Copilot, Azure AI Foundry and Copilot Studio with a proven framework for governance, security and adoption. Through our AI Envisioning and AI Frontier Factory offerings, we help clients identify high-value use cases, modernise workflows and deploy AI solutions that automate repetitive tasks, accelerate decision-making and improve productivity. By deploying and operationalising AI in our own business first, we’re able to guide clients with practical experience, proven architectures and real-world lessons learned. The result is a secure, scalable path to AI adoption that frees employees to focus on innovation, customer engagement and higher-value business activities rather than manual, time-consuming work. Organisations are moving quickly to embrace Microsoft Copilot and AI-powered ways of working, but the value they realise will depend in part on the Microsoft 365 environment supporting them. When business information is fragmented across tenants, identities and legacy environments, it can be harder for employees and the AI tools supporting them to find and use the right information. For many organisations, preparing for what comes next means consolidating Microsoft 365 tenants, bringing collaboration data together, aligning identities and reducing infrastructure complexity. Migration is no longer simply about moving data from one environment to another. When it’s done well, it can help create a more connected digital workplace that improves how employees work today while providing a stronger foundation for AI-powered productivity.
