Common questions
AI Jumpstart FAQ
What is the AI Jumpstart Program?
The AI Jumpstart is a focused half-day engagement where ALPHA IT assesses your Microsoft 365 environment, reviews your current workflows, and identifies specific opportunities to improve efficiency using AI safely. You receive a written AI Readiness Report and a prioritized list of practical next steps tailored to your organization. No long-term commitment is required.
Who is the AI Jumpstart designed for?
The AI Jumpstart is built for Vancouver Island municipalities, First Nations communities, trades businesses, and small to mid-sized organizations ready to explore AI but unsure where to start. It is particularly well-suited for teams already using Microsoft 365 who want to understand how AI tools like Microsoft Copilot could reduce administrative workload.
What do we get at the end of the AI Jumpstart?
At the end of the AI Jumpstart, you receive a written AI Readiness Report covering the state of your Microsoft 365 environment, identified workflow opportunities, governance gaps to address before deployment, and a prioritized set of next steps specific to your organization and team.
Does the AI Jumpstart require us to purchase Microsoft Copilot?
No. The AI Jumpstart is an assessment and planning engagement. Its purpose is to determine where AI will deliver genuine value for your organization and what preparation is needed before any deployment. Whether or not Copilot is the right tool is one of the things the assessment helps answer.
How long does the AI Jumpstart take?
The AI Jumpstart is a focused half-day session. Preparation and the written report delivery typically extend the full engagement to a few days total, but the hands-on working session is designed to be completed in a single half-day block to minimize disruption to your team.
