Tenant configuration
We review how your Microsoft 365 tenant is set up: SharePoint and OneDrive structure, Teams sprawl, search and indexing, and the settings Copilot relies on to find the right information.

Copilot readiness assessment for UK businesses
Before you buy more licences, test what is ready and what needs attention. Our Copilot readiness test checks your tenant, licensing, data governance, security and adoption readiness, then gives you a scored report and a rollout roadmap.
Enquire through our contact form and the LANIX team will follow up about the check.
Buying AI is easy.
Making it work for your people takes preparation.
Microsoft Copilot can bring AI into the tools your people already use. But a licence alone will not fix scattered information, unclear permissions or a team unsure where to start.
The LANIX Microsoft Copilot readiness assessment gives you something concrete before you commit: a scored report across five readiness areas and a rollout roadmap showing what to fix, who to pilot with and in what order.
It typically takes one to two weeks. From you, we need read-only admin access to your Microsoft 365 tenant, a 45-minute kickoff with your IT or operations lead and short conversations with two or three team leads. We do the rest, for organisations in London and across the UK.
What the Copilot readiness test checks
It is not just a technical question. Each area is scored, so you can see at a glance whether your people, information and Microsoft 365 setup are ready.
02
Licensing
We check your current licences, which users qualify for Copilot, and where licences would go unused, so you only buy seats for the people and use cases that will pay them back.
03
Data governance
Copilot can see everything a user can see. We look for oversharing, stale sites, missing sensitivity labels and retention gaps, because existing permission problems do not disappear when you introduce AI.
04
Security posture
We assess identity and access controls, MFA and conditional access, device compliance and data loss prevention, so a rollout does not open new routes to sensitive information.
05
Adoption readiness
We talk to team leads about the tasks that take too long, staff confidence with AI and who could champion it, so the pilot starts with real business use cases and leadership support.
What you get
A scored report and a Copilot rollout roadmap
Not a slide deck of generic AI advice. You get a clear verdict on where you stand and a plan you can act on, whether that is a pilot next month or three fixes first.
Sample excerpt: “Data governance: 2 of 5. Four finance SharePoint sites are shared with ‘Everyone except external users’. Fix permissions on these before enabling Copilot for the finance pilot group.”
Your assessment deliverables
- A scored report rating each of the five readiness areas, with the evidence behind every score.
- A rollout roadmap: what to fix first, which users to pilot with and a realistic timeline.
- A licence recommendation showing how many Copilot seats to start with, and for whom.
Typically one to two weeks from kickoff to report, with a walk-through call to agree next steps.
Less uncertainty. A better next decision.
Use your Microsoft Copilot readiness assessment as a starting point for a more informed AI adoption plan.
Know where to start
Separate useful first steps from the AI noise, with your own business priorities in view.
Find the gaps before rollout
Surface questions about information access, Microsoft 365 setup and staff confidence before committing to a wider deployment.
Put investment behind a purpose
Focus your next conversation on the right users and use cases, rather than licences that may go unused.
Build a practical next step
Decide whether your priority is preparation, team training or a focused Copilot pilot.
Driving Microsoft Copilot adoption after readiness
Readiness is the beginning, not the finish line. Most Copilot licences go unused because adoption is left to chance. Start with a small pilot group and two or three real tasks, train people by role rather than with one generic demo, appoint champions in each team, and measure time saved after 30 and 90 days before you scale.

Microsoft Copilot readiness FAQs
It is a structured review of how prepared your organisation is to roll out Microsoft Copilot. LANIX checks five areas, tenant configuration, licensing, data governance, security posture and adoption readiness, and gives you a scored report with a rollout roadmap.
Your Microsoft 365 tenant setup, which users qualify for licences, oversharing and permission risks, identity and access security, and how ready your teams are to adopt AI. Each area is scored so you can see what is ready and what needs work.
A scored report covering the five readiness areas with the evidence behind each score, a rollout roadmap showing what to fix first and who to pilot with, and a recommendation on how many Copilot licences to start with.
Typically one to two weeks from kickoff to report. Smaller tenants with tidy permissions can be faster; larger or multi-site organisations may take a little longer. We agree the timeline at kickoff.
Read-only admin access to your Microsoft 365 tenant, a 45-minute kickoff with your IT or operations lead, and short conversations with two or three team leads about how work gets done. We handle the technical review.
No. Most businesses take the assessment before buying licences, so they buy the right number for the right people. It is equally useful if you already have licences but are not seeing value from them.
It identifies the permission, sharing and security issues most likely to cause problems with Copilot, but it is not a compliance certification or a full penetration test. Where deeper work is needed, the roadmap says so.
That is useful to know before investing further. Your roadmap will show the specific fixes needed, such as tightening data access, tidying SharePoint or preparing a pilot group, and LANIX can deliver them or support your team to.
Start with a small pilot group and two or three real tasks, train people by role, appoint champions in each team, and measure time saved before scaling. LANIX Copilot training is built to follow on directly from the readiness roadmap.
Yes. LANIX is London-based and delivers Copilot readiness assessments remotely for organisations across the UK, with on-site workshops available where helpful.
