Microsoft 365 Copilot now available
It is now possible to order user licences for the AI tool Microsoft 365 through Wisum.
Microsoft 365 Copilot can be described as an intelligent assistant that can create quick drafts of texts in Word, transcribe and summarise Teams meetings, draft presentations, and create and sort data in spreadsheets - and much more.
The tool is integrated into the entire M365 software suite and therefore provides seamless access to all your work documents and the data you have access to at Microsoft (such as files saved in OneDrive, Teams, SharePoint, your chats, and groups).
There are great opportunities for streamlining daily work. In the video below, Atea and Microsoft jointly introduce some of the possibilities that Copilot offers in the most common Office applications.
How is the licence ordered?
Microsoft 365 Copilot is ordered through Wisum following the same procedures as other software licences.
If you are interested in testing the possibilities, you need to start by confirming the cost with your line manager, who will decide whether there is a work-related need for the licence.
When you order your license in Wisum (the KI-Programvaror category), the designated certifier within your institution/department handles the order. After a couple of days, you will receive confirmation by email that your order has been processed.
The licence cost is SEK 320/month per user. The licence initially runs for one year and can then be terminated with three months' notice.
What is the difference between Copilot and M365 Copilot?
The chat tool that all employees can access does not have access to your work files or collected data stored in the Microsoft cloud. You cannot ask it to draft a PPT presentation from an attached document, to give a specific example. Nor can you ask the chat to summarise your last transcribed Teams meeting, which you can do in M365 Copilot, and then directly in the app.
The AI for Staff and How to write research news using AI pages give you an idea and introduction to what you can do with Copilot on the web - which is included at no extra cost in the M365 licence that all employees have.
Microsoft 365 Copilot, on the other hand, has an additional licence cost of SEK 320 per month per user. The licence is personal.
