Copilot Readiness with CloudFuze’s Migration Solutions

For businesses planning to adopt Microsoft Copilot and leverage its AI capabilities, the foundational step is to unify data across the entire Microsoft 365 cloud suite. But this in itself is a challenge for businesses that are on multiple cloud platforms.

If you are representing a company that is planning to integrate Copilot and are up for consolidating completely into Microsoft 365, we recommend continuing reading for actionable insights.

Metadata Preservation During Microsoft 365 Consolidation is Key!

In your company’s journey of consolidating all data into Microsoft 365 for the goal of extensively using Copilot, preserving rich metadata of files and folders is key. These metadata elements include:

• Sharing permissions
• Timestamps
• File relationships
• Version history
• Embedded links

As you might know, contextual intelligence is a critical aspect of any AI productivity assistant, including Copilot. And metadata is what helps build Copilot’s deep contextual intelligence within your organization’s Microsoft 365 suite.

Roles of Metadata in Powering Copilot’s Contextual Intelligence

Each metadata type plays an integral role in building Copilot’s contextual intelligence within your company’s Microsoft 365 ecosystem. Here is the impact of each metadata element:

1. Sharing permissions – Enables Copilot to provide suggestions and summaries to each user with regard to their type of access to the files and folders.
2. Timestamps – Powers Copilot in understanding the relevancy and recency of each document.
3. File relationships – Helps Copilot in understanding the sharing access levels and workflow-based hierarchy.
4. Version history – Enables Copilot to identify changes made to documents over time and helps teams streamline back tracking processes.
5. Embedded links – Provides navigational pathways for Copilot to sync deeper into documents and other resources, understand context deeply, and provide better insights.

What Happens After Migrating Content and Metadata?

After migrating all content along with metadata, Microsoft 365 indexes the data of the source cloud(s) extracted during migration.

• Indexes content migrated from various types of tools, including email, individual storage drive, shared drive, calendar, etc
• Indexes all other context like permissions, versions, links, and more
• Uses Graph API search endpoints to query the indexed content
• Returns results in conversational form in Copilot
