Anyone who has used AI at work has run into the same issue. The answer might be well-written, but it's missing key details about your business, your priorities, or the work already happening across your teams.
Microsoft's Work IQ was designed to help address that gap. As the intelligence layer behind Microsoft 365 Copilot, Work IQ helps connect the people, conversations, files, meetings, and business data that shape day-to-day work.
The result is a Copilot experience that is better informed by the context employees already work within.
Why Context Changes the Experience
Most employees don't struggle to create content. They struggle to find information.
Preparing for a customer meeting might require reviewing emails, Teams chats, project files, meeting notes, and updates from colleagues. Valuable information already exists, but it's often scattered across multiple locations.
Work IQ helps Microsoft 365 Copilot connect those dots. Instead of searching across multiple applications, users can access information grounded in the content and relationships they already have permission to see.
Where Microsoft 365 E7 Fits In
Of course, AI can only work with the information it can securely access.
That's one reason many organizations are taking a closer look at Microsoft 365 E7, which combines Microsoft 365 E5, Microsoft Entra Suite, Microsoft 365 Copilot, and Microsoft Agent 365 into a single solution designed to support secure AI adoption.
Identity, access controls, governance policies, and security practices all play a role in determining how effectively AI can interact with business information. When those pieces are aligned, Microsoft 365 Copilot is better positioned to deliver relevant, actionable results.
We explore this topic in our eBook, Microsoft 365 E7: Consolidate Security, Identity, and AI on a Single Platform, which examines how identity security, governance, and Zero Trust principles can help support AI initiatives across the business.
Turning AI Plans Into Reality
Many IT leaders understand the potential of AI. The harder question is where to start.
Should the priority be identity modernization? Governance? Copilot adoption? Security controls? Data readiness?
